Bill Maher Childishly Attacks Mike Huckabee's Family for Being Overweight
As NewsBusters previously reported, Bill Maher on Friday, during a joke about Sarah Palin, bashed Charlie Sheen's "childish" behavior.
Moments later in his "Real Time" monologue, the host, while defending actress Natalie Portman, immaturely attacked former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee's family for being overweight (video follows with transcript and commentary):
BILL MAHER: Oh, yes, Mike Huckabee. Throw up that picture of Mike and his family.
MAHER: That's right, a grossly distended belly should only be achieved through marriage or bacon.
Is this really the kind of lowbrow humor the folks at HBO think is entertaining?
Aren't candidates' families supposedly off-limits?
Oh, that's right. We learned during the 2008 campaign that nothing is forbidden if the target is conservative.

If it was my family, I'd ask Maher to kindly step outside, but I'm not sure a worm like him knows what gentlemanly behavior is.
Hey, at least they went with vertical stripes

But cokeheads like Maher have no trouble fending off the extra pounds. That, and of course, always being on a medication for one STD or another.
And just think

I've yet to figure out family pictures with everyone wearing the same outfit. I think only the Flying Wallendas can get away with that.

I'll tell ya, Tugboat.....................I can guaran-damn-TEE you that THIS family won't be 'flying'!!!!!!
But, as a musician myself, I have to say that I've caught the Gov. sitting in with some pretty damn good players on his show, and he handled his bass playing duties well enough to get through the songs!!!
HBO should give you Mahers job

First of all, the mere IDEA that this superdork once again tried to insult the FAMILY of a personality-hes not even a public candidate-once again shows that Maher is amongst the lowest forms of life, and I'm talking about amoeba, ringworms, etc. Secondly, thats an OLD pic back when Mike had a few lbs, and he lost over 100 lbs, so lets see you top that personal achievement, Butthole Billy. Third, his daughter was very young then, so God knows how old that is, but if you saw her during the 08 primaries, youd see what a FOXX she is, someone that Maaher-lox couldnt DREAM of being with.
So, lets see, he attacks family, a then-candidate now private citizens body issues, and underage girls. Yeah, Maher-ron, youve hit the trifecta of delirious liberaliam! Whens he going after Barry-boy and his kids, or is that "different"?
When will liberals WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE! -Me
Ol' Huckabee cant be that bad

Yeah............I caught ol' Huckleberry on his show holding down the bass behind the legendary James Burton - who played all of the licks for Rickety Nelson, and then was Elvis' guitar player for years (I'm not sure why Scotty Moore left - maybe he didn't like the travel and mayhem), and also did stints the the Big O - Roy Orbison, amoung others. So I gotta give the Guv credit where credit is due.............
First, I don't like Huckabee

Second, his sons are hideous, both then and now and have baggage like un-lawful behavior to boot, when he was Governor that the media will dwell into in depth. First Families have always been an important factor for a lot of voters and the dog couldn't even compete with the Obama girls.
