Maher: Charlie Sheen's Childish, Needlessly Defensive, Nonsensical Behavior Like Sarah Palin on Coke
There must be something in Bill Maher's contract with HBO that requires him to make at least one joke about the former Alaska governor on every show.
In his monologue beginning the most recent installment of "Real Time," the host said Charlie Sheen's childish, needlessly defensive, nonsensical behavior is like Sarah Palin on coke (video follows with transcript and commentary):
BILL MAHER: What a week, right, people? I mean, this week Americans turned on their television sets and were witness to a pathetic disaster slowly unfolding. And then after the Oscars were over…
[Laughter and applause]
MAHER: …then Charlie Sheen started to give interviews and it never stopped. And America said forget Wisconsin, forget the Middle East. Charlie Sheen is coming off a coke high, it is funny. It is funny that he keeps waving a paper saying he passed a drug test. How is that good for his image? It just mean he's like that sober?
He said, one interviewer said, "Are you bi-polar?" He said, “I'm bi-winning. I win here and I win there.” So yes, it's childish, it’s needlessly defensive, it makes no sense. So if you ever wondered what it would be like if Sarah Palin was on coke.
[Laughter and applause]
Makes you wonder what's more childish and nonsensical - the joke or the audience eating it up like it was the funniest thing they had every heard.
On the other hand, Maher and his moronic followers were indeed made for each other.
So he's got that going for him - which is nice.

I canceled HBO a couple of years back due to the shows on. I never watched Maher, and tired of the pro-homosexual shows on all the time. Showtime just got sent packing by me this month due to the same reasons. If Cinemax keeps it up, they are next. If cable and the dish companies don't want to listen, then they can suffer the revenue loss. Just saying....
Joke?

Sarah Palin on coke? Got to admit I do not get what could possibly be funny about this. I can only ascertain that only cokeheads would get it!
Sheen has more in common with Maher than . . .

. . . with Palin.
Sheen and Maher are ego-maniacs with Leftist political views. Sheen's just ratched it up a bit.
Very true, Galvanic

Both "men" seem to enjoy the company of women who take their clothes off for money. Their words and actions speak volumes about how little they think of the opposite sex. I think Maher feels genuinely threatened by a woman who can out-think him.

It also speaks how little women think of those two, since the women they are with need to be paid to be with them.
I think your last comment Ultra C means that Maher is threatened by little girls. What freakin' wimps liberal men are.

Bill Maher? I just don't get it. He is on HBO, a for-pay channel that you can only get if you already have cable/satalite. With the advent of Netflix et al, that provide a wide selection of movies on demand, who also contracts with HBO for movie programming which was its original hook? Then we learn that Maher does a weekly show on Friday evenings at 10:00PM. Who watches a political show at 10 on Friday evenings to begin with? So, you have a has-been "commentator" on a minor pay-for channel on cable/satelite that even the programmers of the channel have relegated to the least possible day and time slot. You've got to ask yourself, who actually watches this guy? Why should anyone give a crap what he says? Conclusion: He has zero audience. If NB and other conservative new media didn't mention him, I doubt anyone on the planet would know he existed.Well she did quit on her

Well she did quit on her state to make more money. Don't know what that says about her character.

both-sides? What is that? You do gay guys and gals? You couldn't look at both sides of an issue throwing out that left-hive-mindset stupid comment. She quit due to the fact the Democrat Party was hitting her with one frivolous lawsuit after another, which she couldn't afford. She's not a Corruptocrat like Rangel, ya know? So being as resourceful as she can, she turned those scumbags into bags of money for herself. Good on ya, Sarah...I don't know the woman nor do I know an assklown like you, but with that idiotic post I know her character is way above yours. Tinhat jerk..........
And you

your immature anger is funny.
You misunderstand, both-sides---

It isn't anger at all. It is elation, because I have a liberal troll to argue with, to "debate", to go some rounds with, to insult, to slap around verbally, to excoriate if the mood strikes, to strike severely with verbiage. It is enjoyment to the max because this particular liberal troll, that would be you, sweet cheeks, thinks the sun rises and sets on his liberal ass. It don't, and even though you prove it yourself with each post of yours, I shall relish chapping both-sides of your arse to the point you will become a ranter, then a raver, then a screamer, then history. See you on the threads, putz.Lookee matthewdean

Would that it were possible to return it and obtain one with a soupcon of intelligence. 'S okay. For all that they stink up the place by posting here, when heat is applied to them, the odor changes to an acceptable aroma.

You used one of my favorite words, soupcon. Although it needs the little "5" squiggle under the c, which I haven't a clue how to produce.

Hmmm... some lib posted a link on my wall saying that some leftist organization had declared it was "Ignore Sarah Palin" week. I laughed at this, because I know they CAN'T ignore her. It's in their nature to despise her. Looks like Bill didn't get the memo.
