Bill Maher, who was raised in River Vale , came home to NJ on Friday, basking in a warm and enthusiastic embrace as he preached to a converted audience at the Wellmont Theater in Montclair. Watching he host of HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher was a treat for Obama supporters and rationalists, perhaps not so much for the theists, anti-heathcare reformers and conservatives. The trim stand-up guy, dressed...
Normally I wouldn't care much about the outcome of the race for New York's 23rd Congressional District, and neither would you. But the events of the past few weeks turned the fight for that seat into a referendum on who'll control the very heart and soul of the Republican party. Thankfully, the good guys won last night -- and by good guys I don't mean Democratic candidate Bill Owens, although he did...
During last week's season finale of "Real Time With Bill Maher," newsman Chris Matthews ribbed the host about the evening's lineup: five middle-aged white guys. It wouldn't have taken a "Dateline" investigation for Matthews to take the observation one step further. | read more
I'm sitting here in the Prez Club of Continental enjoying some "complimentary" Heineken. I'm supposed to be prepping for a couple of workshops at which I'll be speaking tomorrow on the Energy sector. The first one is pure energy technology with only myself as the speaker, right up my ally. The second one is a panel discussion with high level Oil & Gas Execs. At first I was told that it...
In last Sunday's Curb Your Enthusiasm , Larry David accidentally urinates on a picture of Jesus. One splash remains in the form of a tear under the image's eye. When the homeowners, devout believers, see the "tear," they imagine they have witnessed a miracle. Bill Donohue of the Catholic League understandably takes offense . Was Larry David always this crude? Would he think it comedic if...
...because this is the kind of bile the nutroots don't waste on RHINOs...courtesy of the Huffington Post, we hear from Chris Kelly, a writer for "Real Time with Bill Maher" (and if that doesn't give you a clue as to the ugliness that's coming), who gives his foam-spitting tirade the title of: Doug Hoffman Wins an Olympic Gold Medal, Gets Reagan Elected and F***s a Rat Seriously. Anyway :...
This piece at HuffPo from Chris Kelly, a writer for Real Time with Bill Maher, is funny. What Doug Hoffman really has is an accountant’s willingness to repeat what he’s told. Glenn Beck is mad as hell about ACORN? So is Doug Hoffman. The Concerned Women for America don’t like abortion? Neither does Doug Hoffman. The [...]
(H/T: HuffPo. ) It appears that Bill Donohue must have worn out his blessed DVD copy of The Passion of the Christ. Now he's watching HBO. I mentioned the uptight, humorless Catholic League scold here the other day, and it looks like he still hasn't found his funny bone. Why's the King of Catholics fuming this time? Blame it on Larry David. Yup, David's fictional wayward peeing on a Jesus painting...
On Sunday's 'Curb Your Enthusiasm,' Larry David was taking a "new pill" that caused him to urinate with excessive force. This caused a lot of splash back, some of which ended up on a Jesus painting hanging on the bathroom wall of his pious assistant, who later sees Jesus "crying" and assumes a miracle has taken place. Catholics are not amused. Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic...
Larry David was the co-creator of Seinfeld , one of the best sitcoms ever. He's also had his own show on HBO, Curb Your Enthusiasm , something I've seen maybe twice and was unimpressed both times. David has always played it close to the edge, but he may have finally run out of good ideas and gone far, far over the line : Comedian Larry David pushed the mocking of religion and Christian belief in miracles...
HBO's hit series "Curb Your Enthusiasm" has pushed the comedic envelope for many years, but what happened in Sunday's episode was so disgraceful it's already received comment from the Catholic League's Bill Donohue. The set-up is the show's star and producer Larry David is taking some medication that is making him urinate quite forcefully. It's so powerful that while urinating in his assistant's...
The death wishes for Rush Limbaugh just never stop. Catching up with the October 9 edition of HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher (the get-the-Pope-some-sex edition), Maher concluded with a plea for Barack Obama to tell the gay-left advocates at the Human Rights Campaign he will push for the end of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays in the military (which Obama proclaimed.) Maher cracked:...
[Photo by Rollogrady] PHILLYBURBS: His comedy, which doesn’t hide his left-leaning views, is satiric and visceral. Cross, who often appears on HBO’s free-wheeling “Real Time With Bill Maher,” pulls no punches. Unlike many of his comedic peers, he isn’t afraid to offend anyone. The independent rock-loving Cross has verbally drubbed Creed frontman Scott Stapp for creating...
