You are referring to Governor Sarah Palin, who was also a candidate for the second highest office in the land? Once?

Excuse me. Maher said nasty things about Governor Sarah Palin every time he opened his mouth. Maher's mouth seems to have been formed for the purpose of saying foul things.

I only remember one particularly nasty epithet. Which is why people here can source it.

I think Sarah Palin deserved respect because she's a human being. I don't understand your fascination with adding "Governor" and "candidate for the second highest office in the land." I think Sarah Palin deserved respect because she's a fine and decent person and a woman to boot.

I'm curious - do you think she deserved extra respect because she was "also a candidate for the second highest office in the land"?

I hope not. I made a lot of jokes about Joe Biden during the election, and I said a lot of rude things. I plan to do so if he's on the ticket in 2012.

I only remember one particularly nasty epithet.

Let me refresh your memory, again!

A year ago on his HBO show, he called Sarah Palin a “dumb twat.”

He followed up days later in a Dallas stand-up routine by calling Palin the C-word.

Last July on HBO, he said Palin was “a bully who sells patriotism like a pimp, and the leader of a strange family of inbred weirdos.”

Last September on his show, Maher said Palin would have sex with Rick Perry if he was black.

Days after he called Palin the T-word, he appeared with then-CNN host Eliot Spitzer, where Spitzer concluded, “Your show is brilliant. I love watching it.”

We've seen, or I hope we've seen, that conservatives try to hold themselves to higher moral standards.

I made a lot of jokes about Joe Biden during the election, and I said a lot of rude things. I plan to do so if he's on the ticket in 2012.

and a hypocrite at that!
