Has everybody forgotten why he ended up on HBO to begin with? He had a late night show on ABC (Politically Incorrect) and was cancelled after he made a joke about the 9/11 attacks. Many believed it was too soon and after the outcry he was cancelled. You would think, with that history, that he could commiserate with and support Colbert instead of attacking him.

Well, at least my trouble in the topic got this far without dueling - so far (none, going to bed). UTUSN Saturday #2

As you pointed out: Maher is not well liked here and for good reason. The world doesn't need another ... marble falls Saturday #3

I've given my take on the MAHER thing many times, not doing it now. Nighty nite. UTUSN Saturday #4

Oddly enough, I was referring to your opinion of Maher not arguing for or against it. Weak tea tonight, my friend! marble falls Saturday #7

When I saw Bill Maher's name, I knew it was BS. walkingman Saturday #5

So why not skip it? - am tearing myself away! UTUSN Saturday #6

I don't watch Maher - I was referring to the post. Not sure of the point? walkingman Saturday #8

I think the shot was at trump for any influence on firing. Colbert will do well. Silent Type Saturday #9

Hmm. Looks like Maher wasn't invited to SA flamingdem Saturday #10

I think he's Jewish (even though atheist). Jews are not allowed in KSA. Coventina Saturday #11

He's technically half Jewish, but was raised Catholic JoseBalow Saturday #12

Well, the rabid anti-Jewish regime would still count that as being Jewish. Coventina Saturday #13

Wow. That's shocking flamingdem Saturday #16

People with Israeli passports cannot visit Saudi Arabia. Jews may travel there but cannot practice their religion WhiskeyGrinder Saturday #17

Bruni: It's not about politics, about getting paid a lot. Maher: "Maybe Colbert could get a job over there." betsuni Saturday #14

I specified my having seen MAHER-COLBERT clashes, and adding here MAHER's *stated* personal animosity. UTUSN Saturday #22

You're right that Maher loves to whine SocialDemocrat61 Saturday #27

This Bill Maher? SocialDemocrat61 Saturday #15

He's got a lot of nerve. IL Dem Saturday #18

It's called being a jerk SocialDemocrat61 Saturday #19

My mistake. IL Dem Saturday #20

Thank you. That's why it's *personal*. UTUSN Saturday #23

And we should pay attention to the comments of a trump whore like Maher...why? (nt) Paladin Saturday #21

Not every topic is meant for everybody. I skip tons.. UTUSN Saturday #24

I skip plenty, as well. Paladin Saturday #30
