Dickheads of the Year by Bill Maher
http://www.rollingstone.com/photos/gallery/17538811/dickheads_of_the_year

Here's the Erik Prince write up:


We used to have rent-a-cops. Now we have rent-a-soldiers. As CEO of Blackwater, the most notorious private-security contractor in Iraq, Prince has his own navy, air force and spy agency. This guy is building nothing short of a parallel national-security apparatus. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but he's a super-Christy Jesus freak who looks on the Crusades the way rednecks pine for the Confederacy.

1. I may not always like old Maher
But I can't disagree with this list.

My favorite line? His suggestion that Rudy's campaign slogan be "Not on my watch...AGAIN."

2. Is that last one true?
Pot misdemeanor arrests went from under 1000 to almost 60,000 the 1st year Rudy was mayor?

11. yep
zero tolerance

and in a decriminalized state too, the folks spending a night in jail in NYC would only have risked a 200 dollar ticket elsewhere in the state.

4. Hey Bill, Rudy will make us be safe, didn't you know?
God help us all. Rudy or Clinton? That is going to be our choice. We quit.

Ron Paul is looking good.

6. We would gladly vote for Edwards, he is not going to make it -
have you not figured it out yet? Your choice is going to be decided by February and MSM is telling us it is between Obama and Clinton.

We quit.

If that is our choice, we quit.

15. And even though they're acting like it's a horse race, it isn't

alarm. Must be a malfunction? Rolling Stone would not do that to us. ?

19. No, because he is the ultimate dick head...unaturally alive, but a Dick non-the-less.
The fact that blood is circulating to it his head is another story. Some people should just be left to natural causes and die, don't you agree? But he's unnaturally alive. Alas, poor DICK...

But, this ghoul's heart still beats. Guess it has to do with his fucking excellent health care which nobody but Dick Head should be privileged to use. Hey, doesn't it just make you feel all warm inside knowing that WE PAID for his multiple stent replacements and pacers, and medications?

23. Cheney's Dickhead number has been retired, but look for him to
be inducted into the Dickhead Hall of Shame.

12. Bill Maher is a gate keeper for the leftist schills.....
call the republicans stupid and inept, wolfowitz and
Bush and Cheney morons, And all of the sleeping Americans can believe that we still live in a democracy, and the democrats will come to the rescue. Wake up sheeple, 9/11 was government sponsered terrorism, to consolidated power!

22. If you're gonna call someone a shill...
...then maybe you should learn to spell the fucking word, eh? Of course, correctness and accuracy aren't very important to the MIHOP freaks now, are they?

14. MAHER's cred is shot. He plays footsie with O'LOOFAH & his choices here are SAFE ones
Except for PRINCE and Shrub, he didn't get to the down and dirty root dickheads: LIMBOsevic, CHEENEE, the NeoCons, etc. MAHER's commentary, here and overall, is basically the "If I ruled the world" type of college bull session.

18. There are so many dickheads, he probably had to give some attention
to the dickheads that deserve greater recognition.

16. it's ironic
that Bill Maher would have a "dickheads of the year" list.

He's usually funny, but he's also a dickhead.
