Schumer Defends Maher Because He's 'On at 11:00 at Night' MAR 11, 2012 • BY DANIEL HALPERS

Oh, so it’s OK to be hateful if you do it late at night. Got it.

New episodes of “Real Time” air on Fridays at 9:00 p.m. PST, an hour after they’ve finished taping at CBS/Fairfax.

So, um, that’s way before eleven. Unless he’s implying, like many of East Coast Ruling Elite, that only time zones east of the Rockies count.

Real Time with Bill Maher is available on HBO On Demand and HBO Go — anytime and any place you please. Schumer thinks people are idiots.

It looks like the blue ribbon committee to formulate and disseminate Democrat talking points has concluded its meeting on this matter. Expect to hear the result of this confab over and over from the drones in the coming days.

The RNC leadership is pathetic. Where was this “leadership” when Obama and the MSM turned the contraception and abortifacient mandate and the “Fluke” saga into a war on women and helped drive down the female vote for Republicans?

How do we organize a national boycott on the advertisers of HBO and any other cable network that has this piece of scum on their channels?

They don’t call the Nappy headed Senator “Chuck the Schmuck” for nothing.

Good point. About the only time I ever hear or see Priebus is on Greta. Other than that, nothing. They haven’t gotten a dime from me since 2008.
