Bill Maher - Funny to Liberals Hilarious to Normal People?

August 11, 2009


A friend of mine was laughing to the point of tears over something on the internet. Being an advocate of any humorous diversion from the stress of the workaday tasks of the job, I requested that he forward the link.

It was an emotional outburst of hatred toward the American people from Bill Maher on the Huffington Post. Nothing out of the ordinary there. But, upon reading the screed, I quickly appreciated the extraordinary humor to be derived. Soon I was in stitches! I was actually wiping the tears from my own face!

After describing his contempt for Americans, Maher described the responses he received from those same Americans asking why he doesn't leave the country.

In order to avoid answering the question of why he doesn't leave this country of morons and embark to whatever utopia of geniuses where life is perfect, he claims residence in Somalia, a nation where the literacy rate is 1% and that 1% have only read the hate-filled screed of Mohammed which dictates that Maher himself would have his head sawed off with a dull knife upon his arrival.

I started chuckling at the image of a Mohammaden holding up Maher's head with a word balloon, "New Rule - do not behead American, fifth-columnist, Islamo-sympathizers!" Ha ha.

Okay, this was mildly funny, I must admit. But it must get better. My friend was almost crying with laughter.

Oh yes! Maher begins to expound upon the ignorance of the American masses by saying congressman should resist listening to the people who elected them because, "they don't know anything!" Now I am starting to tear up a little. My cats all looked up at that guffaw! Ha ha. He's talking to politicians who agree with him, saying that the people who elected them are idiots! Ha ha haaaa!

Maher is implying that individuals, living their lives, are less aware of their own family's financial situation, health coverage, medical issues, the location of local doctors and clinics and the conditions of those clinics and the waiting times and a thousand other particulars of their own personal situations. than is some political whore in Washington DC who can go right to Bethesda Hospital, meet with the department head and be escorted by a white-gloved orderly from specialist to specialist, with no waiting time, for a hangnail.

Now, this is getting hilarious. Listening to their constituents is, "An urge they should resist because their constituents don't know anything!"

Ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Oh my God! I can't stop! Ha haaaaaaa!

Thank you man! This is a great laugh! Ha ha! It is therapeutic! And, no co-pay! Ah ah haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Then, this guy, in order to promote complete government control of the entire medical industry, points out the utter failure of our education system.... which is under complete government control! Oh, man! I can't... Oh Jesus! This is...ohhhh! ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaa! This guy should have his own show! The cats are looking, oh, ha ha haaaa, very concerned!

Then, he says, "Inside the beltway thinking may be wrong, but at least it's thinking!" Oh! Oh! Ha ha haaaaaaaaaaa! It's all wrong, but that's OK! They're located in a certain GPS called Washington DC, so let's just go along! You can't argue with geography! Oh! Oh! Now, wait, I need a tissue! That is so rich! That is...oh my God! Ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Wait..OK...OK...OK...wait! Ok. Ok.. haaaaaa. OK.

OK.

OK.

Now, he is saying, "I want decisions made by an elite group of people who know what they're talking about. That means Obama budget director Peter Orszag, not Sarah Palin."

OK. OK. The political whores in DC and their Goldman Sachs masters like Paulson, Orszag, Bernanke and Geithner are an elite group of empathetic benefactors interested in the welfare of the masses. Ohh! Ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaa! Oh geez! Uh Uh Uhhh, Ohhhhhhh! Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! OH MAN! TOO F***IN' MUCH!

Hang on.

Hang on.

OK.

OK.

I'm OK. Wait...

Wait...

Then, he says...wait! OK...

Ha ha.

And he says the rest of us are stupid!

Ha ha!

Wait...I'm OK..OK

Finally, this hard-core Marxist, perpetrating the most monstrous, ironic joke of the piece, invokes the ultimate free-market, individualist; crafter of our Constitution, James Madison, by quoting him on the virtues of Republican government over democracy. He does this by promoting Peter Orszag, an appointed czar, lacking the constitutional requirements of Senate advice and consent, over Sarah Palin, an actual elected representative of the people! What a f***ing laugh-riot! The man's utter lack of self-introspection, his entire rant, constructed of nothing but the emotion of hate, directed against the people for whom the government was instituted, and for the imposition of totalitarian governmental control over the very lives and bodies of those people is couched in the words of freedom!

It is really too much. OK. I admit. I stopped laughing a while back. You can either laugh or cry at this crap.

The awareness that so many Americans sympathize with this view has me burying the rag deep in my face. Whether it is from laughing or crying is up to you to decide.
