"Truthier" words were never spoken, you are right!
Although, I feel that maybe the political comedy of a Bill Mahr, John Stewart, Colbert, etc will not only make us laugh, but will help rescue us from the tragedy of todays political "truths."
More of the clown's idiotic commentary:
In 1993, Maher found a format that fit his "talents": Politically Incorrect debuted on Comedy Central, with Maher and celebrity guests discussing political issues of the day. Only six days after the 9/11 attacks, Maher and the East Indian Dinesh D'Souza had this conversation on the show:

D'SOUZA: Bill, there's another piece of political correctness I want to mention. And, although I think Bush has been doing a great job, one of the themes we hear constantly is that the people who did this are cowards.
MAHER: Not true.
D'SOUZA: Not true. Look at what they did. First of all, you have a whole bunch of guys who are willing to give their life. None of them backed out. All of them slammed themselves into pieces of concrete.
MAHER: Exactly.
D'SOUZA: These are warriors. And we have to realize that the principles of our way of life are in conflict with people in the world. And so -- I mean, I'm all for understanding the sociological causes of this, but we should not blame the victim. Americans shouldn't blame themselves because other people want to bomb them. MAHER: But also, we should -- we have been the cowards lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That's cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the building, say what you want about it, it's not cowardly. You're right.
MAHER: Not true.
D'SOUZA: Not true. Look at what they did. First of all, you have a whole bunch of guys who are willing to give their life. None of them backed out. All of them slammed themselves into pieces of concrete.

All that is being discussed in that interview is that it is not accurate to characterize people willing to die for a cause as cowards.
It was not a defense of terrorists or 9/11, but a criticism of Bush's rhetoric.
One of the reasons I enjoyed his program was that you heard many viewpoints and opinions, not just the politically correct ones!

I have to admit sometime my buddy Bill comes right "up to the line," without crossing it, and I understand exactly what he was saying in this instance.
Then again, it helps us all see exactly where the line is in the first place. At times, if you have to in fact "cross the line" to get your point across, so be it! I have to even admire the comedian Ann Coulter in the same repect.
I think he is right on the mark about everyone on this list. How can one possibly dispute it?
Bill Mahr however, is not a clown, he is a comedian.
Ann Coulter is not a comedian, she's that other "C" word that I can't use on this website.
I don't think he takes himself seriously, but some people should, especially those that fall in that 25%.
And I can't wait for him to lay into Huckabee. This is a very dangerously narrow minded man that makes Bush look informed.
Goddess help us all.

you can't handle the truth!
Could you expand on this?
So Bill Maher is a big fat idiot, but Jamie Spears is "misguided"? I'm not following your logic here.
