Bill Maher has said a lot of REALLY dumb things throughout his career, but this howler uttered with a straight face on HBO's Real Time Friday might possibly be his stupidest.

"Do you know who the role model for every president should be? Jimmy Carter" (video follows with transcript and commentary):

(VIDEO-AT-LINK)

BILL MAHER: America needs to start defining peace as strength. Do you know who the role model for every president should be? Jimmy Carter. Because he is the one out of all of them who figured out how to sit in office for four years and never fire a shot. And every President's negative example should be Dick Cheney who even shot his friends in the face.

So Hillary Clinton, I hope you're listening to this. And I hope you remember that the reason you lost your primary battle in 2008 was because you voted for the Iraq War and some guy named Obama was smart enough to be against it. And in your upcoming campaign, I mean, if there is one, who knows? Anything could happen. I hope you know you don't have to run as an Iron Lady. That was your mistake last time. Because what good is being the first female president if you still have to be a dick?(continued)

"Never fire a shot" he says? What was the bungled hostage rescue? I was shot at when Mr. Carter was president, Bill. Where were you, in college?

Bill Maher, a glittering jewel of colossal ignorance! Thanks Rush.

[bramps]

What do expect from a man that would date Ann Coulter?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

I’m not. I’m LMAO!

Jimmah is the model only if you want 1/2 of America lining up to piss on his grave.

Go easy on him. He is irrelevant and a fool. A useful idiot.

[Trod Upon]

I AGREE! Every president should be replaced by a more conservative and more competent successor, just like Jimmuh.

...and the role model for young women should be Kim Kardashian.

[ConservativeStatement]

I wonder if this clown believes what he says or is just doing it because he knows he will get attention. No one can be this crude and stupid without realizing it.

[peyton randolph]

Jimmy Carter is the heterosexual Barack Obama.

Nothing wrong with a six pack of Billy Beer off loaded on Billy’s bro.

Which one, Maher or Carter?

I'll say this for Carter, though, at least he's no longer the WORST President in US history

Mr Maher,

To quote Groucho Marx when he was defending Chico in the movie classic, “Duck Soup” - Baravelli might talk like and idiot and look like an idiot, but don’t let that fool you. He really IS and idiot !!

And sir, you are an idiot !!

[dhs12345]

BTW, I was referring to Maher. :)

[dhs12345]

Yup. I guess... lol.

Carter is a model- for what not to do.
