Maher's 'Joke': Hopes Palin Reincarnated as Wolf Shot From Plane
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/20/2008 11:40:40 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

H/t reader Harry S. Imagine that a prominent media conservative jokingly hoped, in any way shape or form, that a member of the Dem presidential ticket would be shot. How long until the MSM and various others demanded he be fired, a Secret Service investigation launched, etc?

But when Bill Maher jokes about Sarah Palin being shot? Silence, except for the raucous laughter of the studio crowd. Maher offered up his violent fantasy on this past Friday's Real Time on HBO in a regular feature devoted to exploring foreign countries to which people might consider moving in the event of a McCain victory. India was the subject of the week, which led to Maher's invocation of recincarnation, and his "hope" for how Sarah Palin would come back . . . .

Segment begins 1:13 into the YouTube here.

What a twisted soul.

You're assuming he has a soul... I wouldn't go that far.

Pray for W, Gov Palin and Our Troops

Maybe Maher will be reincarnated as a toilet in a boy's school.

i’d say he’s far uglier than Helen.

But he is not as ugly as Sandra Bernhard.
