Maryland Governor To Wolf Blitzer: Have Reporter Chris Lawrence “Get The Hell Out Of That Water”

Apparently, there's nothing like a potential hurricane to get nervous governors to demand people get the hell out of places. First, an exasperated Chris Christie assured New Jerseyans at the shore that they were tan enough already, and today, Maryland's Martin O'Malley pleaded with CNN's Wolf Blitzer to get reporter Chris...

Bill Maher To Panel On Norway Gunman: ‘He’s A Christian Terrorist’

Last week's horrific rampage in Norway by gunman Anders Behring Breivik was a huge story no matter what due to the scope of the tragedy involved, but it became that much bigger as soon as Breivik was labeled as an extreme right-wing "Christian fundamentalist." Predictably, some took issue with that characterization,...

Bill Maher: Hasn’t Obama Signed His Own Death Warrant As A Candidate For 2012?

Well, Bill Maher's still not happy with President Barack Obama. In the same week he told Lawrence O'Donnell that he wasn't sure what the president was thinking when it came to tackling the nation's debt problem, he used the beginning of his panel debate on tonight's Real Time to...

English Writer Martin Lewis To Bill Maher: Rupert Murdoch’s Ideology Is “Money, Power, Influence”

In addition to Republican presidential pledges, tonight on Real Time Bill Maher re-tackled another subject he addressed last week: the woes of Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. To help him grasp just what kind of power Murdoch's built up over the years, Maher invited British writer/producer/marketing expert Martin...

Bill Maher Demands Candidates Sign “The American Eagle Liberty Bell Ronald Reagan You’re A Homo If You Don’t Sign It Pledge”

Bill Maher and his Real Time panel last week touched on the prominent pledges many prospective Republican presidential candidates were signing, such as Grover Norquist's Taxpayer Protection Pledge and Bob Vander Plaats' marriage vow. (They weren't fans.) This week, Maher raised the issue again, going a bit more in-depth in his...

Bill Maher: ‘What’s The Difference Between Rupert Murdoch And Larry Flynt?’

As much of a foregone conclusion as it was that Bill Maher and panel would weigh in in the now-infamous Bachmann Christian counseling clinic tonight, it was equally certain they'd discuss the woes of Rupert Murdoch's now-defunct News of the World paper, which culminated today in the...

Bill Maher Panel Hits New Low With Talk Of Angry F**king Michele Bachmann And Rick Santorum

Of course Bill Maher (and his Real Time panel) was going to have something to say on the controversial Bachmann Christian counseling clinic, but this much? Spurred on by a discussion of the clinic, Maher's panel put together one of the raunchiest segments we've seen on his program...and for a show...

Bill Maher Openly, Proudly Equates Casey Anthony Verdict With ‘Republican Thinking’

It's no secret that Bill Maher isn't a fan of Republican policies on...pretty much anything. Tonight, he took aim at the party's economic thinking, and to illustrate what he saw as the absurdity of it, drew a parallel many might find more than a bit absurd themselves: he compared it to the Casey...

Bill Maher, Ann Coulter, Chris Hayes, And Chaz Bono Debate. Need We Say More?

Often, it seems that the real specialty of political talking head debate shows is the ability to bring together a group of people with no apparent rhyme or reason behind their selection. And while a certain Great American Panel is perhaps the best example of this, the roundtable debate on tonight's Real Time with

Bill Maher To Bristol Palin: “Just Admit It, You Were Horny”

After examining President Barack Obama's leadership capabilities earlier on tonight's Real Time, Bill Maher went to some familiar territory at the end of the program: Palin-bashing. This time, though, it wasn't Sarah: it was daughter Bristol, over her new memoir, Not Afraid of Life. And judging by just how far he went to...

Bill Maher’s Panel Rips Obama: “Not A Leader,” “Sucking Up To The People He Should Be Fighting”

Holding the world's highest-profile job guarantees a great deal of criticism at all times, but even by those standards, President Barack Obama's getting a lot of invective thrown his way these last few days - and much of it's from people normally on his side. Tonight, the panel on Real Time with Bill...

Bill Maher Bizarrely Compares Anthony Weiner To “Governor Fat Fatty” Chris Christie

He might have resigned, but if you're talking about politics on television, all roads still lead back to Anthony Weiner. Bill Maher brought up the disgraced ex-politician on his show in an attempt to demonstrate this Weiner's self-control issues, when compared with those of some other politicians, really aren't so bad at all....
