New Rule: Maher Rips the 'Bluster' on the Right: 'Bullying Isn't a Masculine Virtue' - video link


VIDEO here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/bill-maher-rips-the-%E2%80%98bluster%E2%80%99-on-the-right-%E2%80%98bullying-isn%E2%80%99t-a-masculine-virtue%E2%80%99/

Bill Maher is getting tired of conservatives touting their masculinity while dismissing liberals as p***ies and p***es, and in his show-ending New Rule Friday night, he said that Democrats need to stop letting Republicans claim that “they’ve got the big balls” because, as Maher put it, being a bully is not a real masculine value.

Bill, it's because they have NO BALLS that they continue to make such claims. They're hoping (ridiculously, of course) to deflect attention away from that fact, while all the time unconsciously pointing right at it all the time.

- The Republican Party -- ''The party made of mostly males but who have no balls.''

Attention encourages them. It's far better to let the creepier ones stand on their own - maybe just forward them around a big. 8-)

He can be a jerk, but not many writers/comedians can match his ability to get an insight, make the point so clearly and make you laugh.

I can see "bathrobe bluster" soon becoming shorthand for describing all outbursts of faux manliness from chickenhawks, bullies, and friends.

It had everything from Erin Brokovich to Howard Dean to Carley Fiorina to Willy Nelson. Guests, I know I skipped one and I'm sorry, but I'm an absent minded old woman, trying my best. There were some great quotes. Here's one: The Republican Party has grown from Teddy Roosevelt who spoke softly and carried a bit stick" to Chris Christie who "Speaks Loudly and is a big dick". 8-)
