“Maher was born in New York City, the son of Julie (born Berman), a nurse, and William Maher, Sr., a network news editor and radio announcer.[6] He was raised in his Irish American father’s Catholic religion, remaining unaware that his mother was Jewish until his early teenage years.[7][8][9][10] Maher’s family stopped attending church services when Maher was thirteen, due to his father’s disagreement with the Catholic Church’s position on birth control”

NOT our fault!
Probably Bush’s fault, however.
