It certainly didn't happen, overnight. Paladin Jul 23 #42

I just think it's his demeanor. I don't like it. And I think he's truly a sexist and a pretty awful one. CTyankee Jul 23 #44

HBO should replace Maher with Colbert. tblue37 Jul 23 #26

I like that idea! Emile Jul 23 #43

As much as I dispise Maher, I would be very surprised if he didn't defend Colbert, and call out CBS. lostincalifornia Jul 23 #31
