FLashback-Maher:"Blame Starr if condidit"
Brent Baker
If Gary Condit is responsible for getting rid of Chandra Levy, Ken Starr deserves some of the "guilt." So reasoned Bill Maher, host of ABC’s Politically Incorrect, last Friday night on CNN’s Larry King Live.
In a comment MRC analyst Brad Wilmouth came across on Wednesday, on the July 27 CNN show Maher argued that "if it turns out that this beautiful young girl is gone, I think, and he [Condit] is responsible in some way, you have to look to Ken Starr for a little bit of guilt" because, thanks to Starr, a criminal case is now made out of affairs so, Maher claimed in referring to a politician’s lover, "it's almost like you have to get rid of them." Maher contended: "I think that's what Gary Condit was going through his mind, is, you know, I can't get caught with someone. If she's coming to me and saying she's pregnant..."
Here’s the exchange in full on the July 27 Larry King Live. Maher was quite serious in tone and was not just telling a bad joke:
Maher: "But the other thing I wanted to say is, I do think, if it turns out that this beautiful young girl is gone, I think, and he [Condit] is responsible in some way, you have to look to Ken Starr for a little bit of guilt."
King: "Why?"
Maher: "Because, you know, Ken Starr made it so that you, in the old days, you had an affair with somebody, and you know, okay, you had an affair. The press didn't report it. They didn't make a political criminal case of it. Now, it's almost like you have to get rid of them. That’s really what-"
King: "Ken Starr put that [unintelligible word, sounded like ‘o-jiss,’ may have been ‘aegis’] on them."
Maher: "Yeah, I think that's what Gary Condit was going through his mind, is, you know, I can't get caught with someone. If she's coming to me and saying she's pregnant or she's gonna, you know, go to the press-"
King: "You're going to figure out a way to blame Ken Starr for something, aren't you, Maher?"
Maher: "I'm telling you."
King: "Boy."
Maher: "It’s like, that's a whole new wrinkle in it." K
ing: "He always causes us to think differently."
Just when you thought liberals had run out of things for which to blame Ken Starr. So much for encouraging personal responsibility and avoiding "mean-spirited" personal attacks for which media liberals regularly castigate conservatives. -- Brent Baker

MORONMAHER !!!
THEY--
spelling cops are everywhere
Perfect logic for a clintoon lover.
LOL
Don't worry, maher supporters can't spell.
With leftists, you quickly learn not to look for any depth or insight. That's a given.
But Maher is astonishingly infantile in his 'reasoning process' here. So much so that I don't believe that he is sincere.
Although his success is modest, it's still sufficient to make it extremely unlikely that his intellect could be this poorly formed. This is no more than disingenuous chum, cynically distributed in an effort to appeal to the prejudices of his slack-jawed fans.
Since the show is taped in LA, you can guess the audience in the studio.
