Bill Maher Says...

Bill Maher on America's obsession with political blunders.

He speaks of what he knows, Bill does. It was Maher who lost his job on ABC by saying that the 9/11 hijackers were hardly "cowards". He had a point, of course, but the implication was too much for the public to handle, apparently. They jumped on him, egged on by the media, and got turfed. It wasn't the first time he said something controversial, of course, after all the show was called "Politically Incorrect". His bread and butter was controversy.

But every controversy has its tipping point, and Bill found this out quickly.
