Bill Maher Devolving

Posted by Bill Hennessy

There are rats. Then there are leeches. Below that are bacteria and viruses that suck the life from otherwise healthy organisms. Beneath all of that lies Bill Maher.

While I’ve always disagreed with Maher’s rude anti-Catholicism, I once found him somewhat entertaining. But after the 2004 election, Maher lost his mind. He’s now “Swiss,” as he says, having renounced his American citizenship. He mocks those who voted for George Bush more than he mocks the man they voted for. Betraying liberalism’s worst instincts, he admits his bigotted belief that those who disagree with him are genetically inferior. Killing Christians is to Bill Maher as killing Jews was to Hitler. Once you’ve dispensed with the afterlife, winning this life becomes very, very important.

Bill Maher isn’t funny, smart, or good looking. Lacking those attributes, he would be well advised to seek acceptance. He runs from such. Five years from now, few people will remember who he was.
