"Show me a man wearing an American flag pin in his lapel, and I'll show you an asshole," says Bill Maher during a recent New Rules segment. Calling it the "first genuine controversy" of the 2008 presidential campaign, Maher brings up last week's "shocking news" that Democratic candidate, Illinois Senator Barack Obama, does not wear an American flag pin. "So apparently, he and America are no longer going steady." Quips Maher: "Why don't you just stab the Statue of Liberty in the eye while bitch-slapping a 9/11 widow?" Obama came under media scrutiny after expressing to a reporter that wearing the pin seemed like a "substitute for true patriotism." Continues Maher, "Another in a series of bullshit non-stories that have zero effect on the troops, the war, or anything in the real world. Or, as Fox calls it: Breaking news." One personality called it "too much information," saying that Obama was showing a sign of insecurity by not simply saying he was making a fashion statement. "This is typical press hypocrisy," says Maher. "They say they want someone who doesn't give pat political answers, but when they get one, they call them a loser. They say they don't want safe robots like [Sen. Hillary Clinton], but they create conditions where only that species can survive. And then, they give cover to people like Sean Hannity, who reported on No-Pin-gate...and then had to call a doctor because his fake outrage hard-on lasted longer than 72 hours." "Of course, the Republicans are the party of Mark Foley, and Ted Haggard, and Larry Craig, and countless other closeted homosexuals... so their fixation on jewelry is understandable." Video of the entire monologue, and the remaining New Rules segment, is below. It was broadcast on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher on October 12, 2007.

Good monologue - thank you.
This guy is like a Rosie. He'll say something every once in a while that makes sense, but he's still..and always will be..a FKN loudmouthed obnoxious dual- citizen asshole, who can, as far as I'm concerned, go stuff his head down a toilet.
Law Enforcement Against Prohibition I don't like Bill Maher since I heard what he said about 9/11. Now, his attitude just bothers me. The look on his face in the still picture above says it all for me. Just the empty look in his eyes and his false confident, self-righteous, smug smirk. I don't care what religion he is, he's a phony ***hole. But still, good for Obama not wearing the pin. Wearing the pin says nothing but "I'm wearing this pin."

Yes, excellent point, thank you.

I wish someone could ask Bill Maher if people that wear Israeli flag pins are assholes too.
Read New History A large woman, wearing a sleeveless sun-dress, walked into a Pub in Dublin. She raised her right arm, revealing a huge, hairy armpit as she pointed to all the people sitting at the bar and asked, "What man here will buy a lady a drink?" The Pub went silent as the patrons tried to ignore her, but down at the end of the bar, an owl-eyed drunk slammed his hand down on the counter and bellowed, "Give the ballerina a drink!" The barman poured the drink and the woman chugged it down. She turned to the patrons and again pointed around at all of them, revealing the same hairy armpit, and asked, "What man here will buy a lady a drink?" Once again, the same little drunk slapped his money down on the bar and said, "Give the ballerina another drink!" The barman approached the little drunk and said, "Tell me, Paddy, it's your business if you want to buy the lady a drink, but why do you keep calling her the ballerina?" The drunk replied, "Any woman who can lift her leg that high has got to be a ballerina!"
ROFLMAO~
LOL!!!

A priest was walking in the district. A streetwalker came up and said "Father, $20 a throw." He smiled at her and kept walking. Turned the corner, another hooker came up...'Hey Reverand, $20 a throw." He politely nodded and continued on his way. Not much further, again a prostitute said, "Whatcha say Father, $20 a throw?" He practically ran back to the rectory and then to the convent and asked to see the Mother Superior. She appeared and he said, "Sister, what's a throw?" She replied, "Twenty bucks, same as downtown."
That's funny - thanks.
