: Anyhoo, back to the PI, I wonder why Kevin didn't take Maher to task for his Anti-Catholic views. That would have been newsworthy,heathen Direcotr defends Pope from slutloving TV host. Still,you don't take a dump on a guy's couch when he invites you in to watch Dynasty reruns.
Ok, I agree that Bill Maher is a smug motherfucker whose opinions are generally worthless and obnoxious. The fact that a television show has been designed around his arrogant demeanor continues to distress me.
However, he didn't say anything about the Catholic Church that isn't factually the case. The only argument Kevin could have made was that Billy Boy was being a smug fuck for pointing it out, but pointing out that Bill Maher is a smug fuck would hardly be newsworthy. Might as well make big news by going on Leno and telling him he has a big chin.
: I'm still waiting for someone to go after Maher hardcore for some of his dumber views.
Agreed. Too bad the only people I've ever seen with the balls to really go head to head with him are people I actually disagreed with.
He was getting a lot of glares on the Tailhook thing. I suspect he would've gotten some chewing if he hadn't snuck it in right at the closing.
