Reply #140: What comedians are you talking about? [View All]

I don't see anyone on the comedy scene doing anything even remotely related to the political situation in the US or in the world.

Maher least of all. He's taken safe possession of the middle of the road, and his support of America's invasion of Iraq puts him squarely in Dennis Miller territory.

The irony is that even Dennis Miller is trying to beat a retreat from that ugly rightwingnut stance he assumed, now trying - and failing - to fashion himself as a libertarian.

I have never believed that democracy can be imposed on someone by murdering their people and destroying their country. The debacle in which we're now submerged in Iraq is proof of that.

Maher's point is that he'll do and say anything to advance his career. That's all.
