Saturday Morning Stupid

Maher last night. Now I'm with most of you idiots, I wouldn't spend five minutes watching Bill Maher unless SE Cupp was on the panel.

That's how I roll.

The other guests are Cory Booker, newly-elected Mayor of Newark and some goober who works for the Daily Beast.

The set up from Maher is that he doesn't understand why Obama would nominate a "cypher" to the Supreme Court. Great straw man, presumption being a) she isn't a partner idealogue like Obama and b) flat-out admission of same wouldn't kill her nomination (which it most assuredly would).

It's a fun discussion, except for Jon Cryer, he's a bit of a buzzkill. Maher eventually moves on to "Losing Our Religion" and asks Cupp to affirm that religious people are deluded, and her response is "I am not a militant atheist".

I find that refreshing. Should you accuse me of sucking up I will respond "shut up, you.. you."

Also a good retort from Booker on the "religion causes most wars" whine from Maher. "Bill, humans cause wars."

Ok that was the second best retort. The first best from Booker was "oh please." Third best was telling Maher "you're a fucking idiot."

I might have messed that last one up.

Anyway, good morning morons. If this isn't palatable there's always bacon and coffee. Also, a warning, it leaves you hanging when they start digging into the book, but I wasn't willing to jump through the HBO hoops to see if I could embed more of this. The set up was entertaining enough.
