What the hell is wrong with Maher? He's outraged by media coverage of nutcase RFK Jr.

12. How could I forget 2 of his latest Hits?! - MUSK and his take on Gays

* MUSK. As could have been predicted doing as ROGAN did, he received MUSK onto the regular HBO show like royalty (although he says he hates royalty). He kissed MUSK ass for the entire segment (the one-on-one part at the intro) and kissed it at the "Overtime" part when the Intro guest is supposed to sit in but when MUSK was a no show, saying, "He had to leave to save the world." The most he can dismiss is that MUSK "sometimes says crazy things" but he can be excused for all the genius that he is. MY take is that MUSK is another billionaire/oligarch who trades on doing and getting anything he wants.

* MAHER's take on Gays. His calling card has been Libertarian *FREEDOM* - drugs, sex, whatever. I assumed this included sincere acceptance toward Gays. The only Gay I had ever seen him interact with was Andrew SULLIVAN on the HBO show, on the panel where the discussion issues were basically generic politics, not specifically Gay issues, so nothing different. But on the "Random" thing, to the couple of Gay guests, he acted giddy and clearly "separated" himself as very very hetero - making Beavis/Butthead type references to sexual activities and asking along the lines of circumcision, but most of all harping that where he draws the line on all things is anal sex, that he cannot even think about it, how poop is involved, yukking and yukking like a middle schooler, like how Tweety/Chris MATTHEWS and BARNICLE acted like spit-balling Catholic school kids. I forget who the guests were, but they appeared to have expected a serious discussion of general issues, only to be treated like poop.
