Bill Maher Says Democrats are A-Holes Too

Bill Maher's Mid-Show Comedy Segment parody

by Catherine Giordano

The mid show comedy bit on Real Time with Bill Maher on October 3, 2014 was a parody of a real video put out by a Republican operative.

"Real Time" made a parody video titled Democrats can be Assholes, Too. The video was best when  pictures sometimes belied the words. For instance, when the words were "Democrats are farmers", the picture showed a farmer holding a marijuana leaf or when it said "Democrats love guns too," it showed a picture of Obama shooting a rifle.

However, the writers were a bit lazy this week because most of the pictures and captions were not a clever juxtaposition. Some of the pictures played off some Republican memes like Republicans riding a rascal scooter (like Republican billionaire Sheldon Adelson), having gay sex, or being sexist, so I'll give them a half point for those. Others just showed people doing dumb things and claimed those people were Democrats----I'd send the writers back to the drawing board on those.

Here's the video.  Judge for your self.

Here is another YouTube video which takes the original video and alters the captions. so now instead of saying "Republicans drive Priuses too" it reads "Republicans DON"T drive Priuses."

Bill Maher #318 Comedy Segmet--Romance

Romance, Republican Style--X Rated

by Catherine Giordano


Bill Maher holding
"Love's Fair and Balanced Desire" 

The mid-show comedy segment on “Real Time with Bill Maher”, episode 318, which aired on 05/16/14 was smutty and steamy. I warn you—it is X-rated.

It was a spoof inspired by the purchase of Harlequin Books (a publisher of romance novels) by Rupert Murdoch, owner of Fox News. He said there would soon be a new romance novel Love’s Fair and Balanced Desire.

Here's the best of the bit:

·       Under her icy exterior was a passion that burned like an unprotected embassy in Lybia

·         Her lover was a widower whose wife had died in the war on Christianity

·         A single bead of sweat lay between her ample breasts—just due to normal hot weather, not climate change

·         His manhood strained growing ever larger, like the deficit under Obama

·        When he struggled with a condom, she said, “Don’t bother, my body has a way of shutting that whole thing down”

·         She told him, “Drill, baby, drill.”

·         Her secret lover was a Mexican named Hector. She put her finger to his lips and said “Don’t talk. Not until you learn English.”

·        He placed his face between her legs. She rode his mustache all the way home. “It’s true, she said, “Mexicans will do jobs no one else will do.”

Bill Maher #317 Comedy Segment--Graduation Hats

By Catherine Giordano

Did you know that today's grads sometimes write messages on their graduation caps? I just learned that from Bill Maher.  I'm always learning something from Bill Maher.

 

The mid-show comedy segment was about the messages that some graduates tape to the mortarboards of their graduation caps.  Maher said that it used to be things like “Thanks, Mom,” but now, the messages reflect the economic difficulties facing graduates. The new messages read something like this:

·         My other hat is a hairnet.

·         Don Sterling, If you pay off my loans, I’ll be your “archivist.”

·         My other tassels are on my nipples.

Guests:

Sister Simone Campbell, a Roman Catholic nun, executive director of NETWORK, a lawyer, and the author of A Nun on the Bus: How All of Us Can Create Hope, Change and Community. 

Arianna Huffington, the editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post, and the author of numerous books. Her latest book is Thrive: The Third Metric to Redefining Success and Creating a Life of Well-Being Wisdom and Wonder. 

Matt Welch, editor of Reason, a libertarian magazine and co-host of “The Independents” on the Fox Business Network. He is also the author of a new book The Declaration of Independents: How Libertarian Politics Can Fix What's Wrong with America.
