Bill Maher Attacks Ann Romney Again: 'She's Brought Up Five Very Shiny and Remarkably Lifelike Boys'
For the second week in a row, HBO's Bill Maher went after Ann Romney, the wife of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
On Friday's Real Time, the host said, "I'm not attacking Ann Romney. She's brought up five very shiny and remarkably lifelike boys" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
TODD BUCKHOLZ, DIRECTOR OF ECONOMIC POLICY FOR PRESIDENT GEORGE H.W. BUSH: My wife pointed out a stay-at-home mom in Boston with five boys. Do you know what it's like changing snow pants and snow sweaters in Boston?
BILL MAHER, HOST: What’s it like without help? [Applause] You know, I mean, it’s, look, I have not, I mean Fox News was up my a-- this week about I was attacking Ann Romney. I wasn't attacking Ann Romney last week. I was just pointing out that going to work is a very different thing than staying home. I don’t know. I was going by my own experience having sh---y jobs.
CHYSTIA FREELAND, REUTERS: I'm the only person who's a mother here and I'm a working mother, and I have to say for myself when I step out the door on to the streets to go to my office, I breathe a sigh of relief. I find being in the office easier.
BUCKHOLZ: Absolutely, it is a respite. There are so many women who do go to work just as she said.
MAHER: And that’s fine. Again, I don't have the experience of both. So I take, I don’t know, I was never a mother. I did have sh---y jobs. I’m just saying it's different. It’s different. And I'm not attacking Ann Romney. She's brought up five very shiny and remarkably lifelike boys.
[Applause]
FREELAND: But Bill, I do think that ever since the 1960's the Right has had, women, stay-at-home mothers have felt since the ’60s that feminists and the Left have looked down on what they do, and we shouldn't. We should admit, you know, we should say actually staying home with your kids - of course, it is an economic luxury - it's also really, really hard work. [Unintelligible]
MAHER: It’s just hard to see when you think about, you know, a poor, single mother on food stamps, it's hard to think of Ann Romney as the casualty in the war on women. That’s all I’m saying.
Like much of the rest of the liberal media, it's very clear that Romney's family are safe targets this campaign season.
Of course, don't expect any quid pro quo regarding Michelle, Malia, and Sasha Obama.
That, after all, would be in poor taste.

He's a self loathing hater that likes to beat up black women I think he has deep issues with women because he attacks conservative women much more harshly than he does the men, but like I said he is a woman beating coward, plus HBO pays him a lot of money to make sure communism is cool and if you disagree you're a square.
Maher is cool?

He keeps losing anymore hair he is going to look like Mr. Magoo. He's a misogynistic pig, a Narcissist Personality Disorder victim as well as liar and Liberal Psychopath. In other words, he's a Progressive Commie.
I wouldn't expect too much

I wouldn't expect too much quid pro quo regarding the Obama girls because most conservatives have the decency to leave them alone and focus on the numerous dangerous, failed policies of their father instead. We all know that liberals march to the beat a different drum. At least with the Romneys all of their children are old enough to defend themselves, unlike the 14 year old daughter and baby WITH DOWN'S SYNDROME of a certain female conservative who shall go unnamed...
Warning!

Bill Maher is your brain on drugs. You are what you smoke. A dope.
To more fully comprehend the Left, one must read “Leftism As Psychopathy” by John Ray, M.A., Ph.D. Caution, it might scare you a little bit.

Yeah you are Billy. In your case, it's just half a word, spelled "mutha******."
What a gay-in-denial! I cannot believe how much he hates "real" women. Just watch the limp wrists flying around as he talks in the clip above.
Face it, Billy. You are soooooooo gay.

He admitted in the show that it bothered him that FNC roasted him all week for his misogynist comments. He needs O'Reilly's approval like a 5 year old boy looks to his Daddy.

Did she? I don't know, but I thought when they were first married they lived in a basement apartment somewhere, which leads me to think she didnt have help.

On one hand you have the 5 fine decent men Mrs Romney raised versus the 1 nasty gutter dwelling hedgehog Mrs. Maher spawned. Somewhere Bill Maher's mother is probably drinking herself into a stupor.

Coulda called her a 'nasty nag' also, since she has been referred to as 'the first Clydesdale'..............
And what is Mooooooooooochelle's work record anyway??? Something like her husbands??? I think she was working part-time as some sort of 'adviser' to a hospital in Chicago for a pretty good salary, which doubled or tripled once Boy Baraka became a do-nothing state senator. I guess these days her two primary job qualifications are telling people how to live, and then going on vacation to rest after all that hard work!!!

Yes it does. There is very little I wouldn't put past this hateful, spiteful person.
I guess it's only fitting with the nation suffering the worst president in history that we also must suffer the worst first lady. And I use the term "lady" only because it describes her position, not her personally.

In reality this is classic Maher and how he morphs in an out of topics. The single mother on food stamps is not part of the dialogue regarding the feminist issue with stay at home moms. Rather it is part of another important dialogue on our pathetic war on poverty.
