When you have to stoop this low to be "funny" you need to STOP.
I saw the episode last night. Big deal, Christine was talking about her college days when she was quite clear she did unhealthy stuff before she was born again. This sounded quite unspectacular and half-joking. But, yes, in her Christian activist days in the nineties she went on Bill Maher a lot and she was quite confessional. Bill has a ton of old clips.
It was the rest of that hour that was jaw-dropping. Bill goes on with Mikey Moore and they basically commiserate on how dumb and bigoted and unenlightened we Americans are and how smart and amazing they are. He unleashed another obscenity-laced diatribe of juvenile insults against the “tea-baggers”.
He spends so much time cutting down just about everybody not as smart and hip and cool as he is. I’m amazed he can still pull together a studio audience, it was even more disgusting and unfunny than usual. I imagine people watch it only to see what a human lizard looks and sounds like.
Aren’t we not supposed to bring up that Obama went to a Muslim Madrassa when he was young? What’s the difference?

He’s the reason I won’t pay for HBO. Well, one of the reasons. I will watch it when they give it away for free, but I can’t stand the idea of a dollar of my money going to Bill.
I hope people can see what this is about like you can. I do think this is extortion. It seems he is threatening her to release more unless she comes on his show.
