Comedian Bill Maher cracked a tasteless “joke” involving Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin’s Down syndrome child — and referred to the Alaska governor as a “stewardess.”

In the monologue of his most recent HBO show, Maher noted that Palin has five children including an infant “that has Down syndrome. She had it when she was 43 years old. And it looks a lot like John Edwards.”

This shall not stand! Write, e-mail and call HBO if this disgusts you half as much as it does me!!

What a piece of whale shite

One can always tell the level of one’s intellegence by his humor. (source: my father in law).

[frogjerk]

All you Freepers paying for HBO pay this jackasses salary.

Maher is a cheap attention whore. He has no value to the nation whatsoever.

I don’t like Mahar, but it sounds more like a crack against Silky to me.

Jeez, why bother? Hip, cool, hateful lefties are the show’s only audience. Maher hates women so much he’d wear the scorn as a badge of honor.

Hip, cool, not-quite-so-hate-crazed lefties prefer Jon Stewart, anyway.

For as long as I have known of him I have disliked Maher. the more I hear about him (I never actually watch him), the worse I think of him.

Right now he is about on the same level as Charles Manson. Manson is better looking tho.

[Tax-chick]

That’s nicer than John Edwards deserves.

I think the more important question is, “Was anyone laughing?”

This guy is, and will always be, hopeless.

Too bad his mother didn’t opt for an abortion!

Maher is a pig

“This shall not stand! Write, e-mail and call HBO if this disgusts you half as much as it does me!!”

Just ignore him...

[sinanju]

It was a full decade ago, but the man actually was funny and reasonably well-balanced once upon a time.

He threw away the pretense when he went all-in lib in defending Clinton during Monica. Monica-gate unbalanced him and the rest is history.

can’t already sent them an email that I was cancelling HBO because they still have maher and got rid of inside the NFL and if they think I will buy showtime cause that is where inside the nfl went they are mistaken cause I will not watch dexter, the L word, weeds, californication or any other show on showtime that glamorizes drugs serial killers and gay lifestyles

[blondee123]

I mean Maher’s mother, just reread it & thought someone might misunderstand what I meant!!

[DogBarkTree]

Maher is a strong candidate to be one of the first thrown into a mass grave. In the mean time he makes our side look good. I’m happy to see we’ve (so far) left Nobama’s children alone.

Maher is a pig

You are giving pigs a bad rap......
