George Clooney and Bill Maher

I give liberal George Clooney credit for making Bill Maher look like a fool.

Maher tried to take a gratuitous swipe at conservatives while they talked about Clooney's humanitarian efforts in the Sudan.

Maher said, "I think this is a big difference between liberals and conservatives: I don't think conservatives are bad people. I think they have a hard time being empathetic to people who are not like them at all."

Even though Maher's audience applauds the ridiculous statement, Clooney defends conservatives, completely debunking Maher's comment.
