In a clip released by Larry King’s online-only-show, Bill Maher talked to King about Paul Ryan, painting Ryan as a bigger liar than Romney. Watch:
“Paul Ryan is certainly an interesting man. He has the the moral core of the pimp from ‘Taxi Driver’. This is a guy who will just say anything, I mean…wow. I thought Mitt Romney was a facile liar. This guy, you know, he even lies about his marathon times, you know….He’s just one of those people who when he’s speaking, he’s lying.”
The "moral core of a pimp from 'Taxi Driver'.....HAHAHA............
I have my personal issues with Bill Maher, mostly relating to his treatment of President Obama. That said, Maher does a rare and masterful job of destroying the arguments of terrorist sympathizer, Indian-American conservative Dinesh D’Souza, who is the author of the anti-Obama book titled “The Roots of Obama's Rage”, and is also the producer of the anti-Obama right wing docu-movie based on the book. Watch:
On a personal level, when I first read about the book, I laughed. D’Souza really had to stretch to come up with his silly theory that Obama is an anti-colonialist and that his own dreams are derived from his Kenyan father’s dreams. Keep in mind that Pres. Obama did only meet his father once.

Adding…….sorry the vid is a little blurry, but it is the only video of that clip available to the blogs.
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT: BILL MAHER – THE PARTY OF STINKIN’ or GANGSTA PRESIDENT [self-transcribed]
And finally, new rule. Now that it's become clear that the Republicans, the fiscally conservative, strong on defense party are neither fiscally conservative nor strong on defense ….they have to tell us what exactly it is they're good at. Because….nanano….because it’s not defense – 9/11 happened on your watch, and you retaliated by invading the wrong country.
And you lost a 10-year game of hide and seek with Osama bin Laden.
And you’re responsible for running up most of the debt, which more than anything makes us weak.
Bill Maher to the Teabaggers re the Founding Fathers
Now I want you Teabaggers out there to understand one thing. While you idolize the Founding Fathers, and dress up like them and smell like them, I think it's pretty clear that the Founding Fathers would have hated your guts. And what's more, you would have hated them. They were everything you despise. They studied science, read Plato, hung out in Paris, and thought the Bible was mostly bullshit.
A really excellent comment from Bill Maher on Jon Stewart’s Sanity Rally, and the use of the ‘both sides’ meme. Video after the jump.
If you're going to have a rally where hundreds of thousands of people show up, you might as well go ahead and make it about something.
Now, with all due respect to my friends Jon and Stephen, it seems to me that if you truly wanted to come down on the side of restoring sanity and reason, you'd side with the sane and reasonable, and not try to pretend that the sanity is equally distributed in both parties. Keith Olbermann is right when he says he's not the equivalent of Glenn Beck. One reports facts, the other one is very close to playing with his poop.
And the big mistake of modern media has been this notion of balance for balances’ sake. That the left is just as violent and cruel as the right, that unions are just as powerful as corporations, that reverse racism is just as damaging as racism. There's a difference between a mad man, and a madman.
Now, getting over 200,000 people to come to a Liberal rally, is a great achievement that gave me hope. And, what I really loved about it is that it was twice the size of the Glenn Beck crowd on the mall in August. Although it weighed the same.
