The Founding Fathers Wouldn't Have Liked Bill Maher

On The Huffington Post today, Bill Maher has a blog post entitled, "The Founding Fathers Wouldn't Have Liked George Bush."

He writes:

I'm in Boston today, getting ready for my standup special tomorrow night live on HBO (last shameless plug, I promise), and walking around the city has made me remember: oh yeah, America started here. That's right, America was invented by liberal men in Boston and Philadelphia. Not that I don't love all of America, but rednecks who think they're the real America should read a history book once in a while. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Franklin, Madison -- the whole lot of them were well read, erudite, European thinking children of the enlightenment, and they would have had absolutely nothing in common and less to say to a cowboy simpleton like George Bush.

"Rednecks who think they're the real America"?

That's a rather derogatory thing to say.

Just who makes up real America, Bill? You and your ilk? The privileged and pampered elite?

"A cowboy simpleton like George Bush"?

Speaking of rednecks, that Bill Clinton acted like a real erudite, European thinking child of the enlightenment when he was president, didn't he?

Give me a break.

Speaking of simpletons, Jimmy Carter, for all his supposed smarts, proved that he was utterly incapable of running the country and adept at screwing up the world.

And speaking of who's a real American, was anyone as outraged as I was reading Robert Novak's little interview in the NY Times magazine on Sunday? Asked if in hindsight he would leave out the part of his 2003 column that identified Valerie Plame as a CIA operative, he said "I don't know. I thought journalistically it was justifiable. Nobody had told me -- and I still don't believe -- that it put anybody's life in danger. I don't think she was an important person in the CIA."

That really is quite an astounding quote, isn't it? How the hell would he know if it put anybody's life in danger? YOU'RE NOT IN THE CIA, BOB! They don't tell you any of their business! Considering the consequences of being wrong about such a hunch, is it really the patriotic thing to do? To sit in your office and just conjecture that this agent wasn't very important to the CIA? First, I think everyone who works at the CIA is important; and second, WHO THE HELL IS THIS MAN TO OUT PEOPLE IN THE DEADLY WORLD OF ESPIONAGE BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT HE "THINKS"?!

Maher should ask, "WHO THE HELL IS RICHARD ARMITAGE TO OUT PEOPLE IN THE DEADLY WORLD OF ESPIONAGE?"

Yes, it really is quite astounding that the simpletons on the Left can't seem to get the facts of the Plame case straight or the truth about socialized medicine.

Maher concludes his little rant with this:

With patriots like that, I'm sure glad there are traitors like me and Michael Moore still living here in America.

Maher and Moore -- Super Patriots! REAL Americans! Make room for them on Mount Rushmore!

That's the funniest thing I've heard Maher say since he stopped being a comedian in the late 1990s.
