Bill Maher's Recovery Plan: Legalize Pot and Execute 'Two Random Rich, Greedy Pigs' at the Super Bowl

Bill Maher's Recovery Plan: Legalize Pot and Execute 'Two Random Rich, Greedy Pigs' at the Super Bowl

By Tim Graham (Bio | Archive)
February 20, 2009 - 23:52 ET

On the 2009 debut of his HBO show Real Time on Friday night, Bill Maher proposed his new solution for the economic crisis: legalize marijuana. In an interview with Rep. Ron Paul, he lectured: "When FDR came into office in '33, one of the first things he did was repeal Prohibition. He said we can’t afford this any more."

Paul was puzzled, so Maher continued: "When he was making radical changes, he said ‘look, we’re serious now. We’re gonna get serious, and people like liquor." Well, in this country, people love pot...[applause]...and if we ended that Prohibition, it’d be a giant boon of money."

He had an utterly straight face, no smirk. Paul denounced all the drug laws to such effect that Maher went back to joking. "Amen, stoner," he said to Paul.

Maher ended his show with another stirring solution to the financial crisis: executing two random rich guys to set an example: "If we killed two random, rich greedy pigs; blew them up at halftime at next year’s Super Bowl. Or left them hanging on the big board at the New York Stock Exchange, you know, as a warning, with their balls in their mouths, I think it would really make everyone else sit up and take notice."

When it came to Maher’s panel discussion guests, Chrystia Freeland of the Financial Times sounded more leftist than fellow guest Maxine Waters. First, she denounced Ron Paul’s economics: "There is this very extremist economic view, they call it the Austrian School – ‘these companies got in trouble, we should be absolutist free marketeers.’ But would you like to live in a country where economic activity ground to a halt? I think it’s too risky an operation to try."

That’s not to say Freeland wasn’t for a radical solution, but she wanted it to be socialist. "We have an insufficiently radical economic policy, particularly vis a vis the banking sector," as she wished for nationalization.

Then, after she praised the president for talking in dark terms about the economy, she followed with this stunning journalistic admission: "It’s important to prepare the ground for radical government action. It’s a radical problem....It’s really time for the government to come in and radically clean things up, and that’s what people were expecting Obama to do."

Maher’s show had one bright spot, perhaps due to Maher’s loathing of all religions. He talked about the man who created a TV station to improve the image of Muslims beheading his wife in Buffalo. He interviewed author Brigitte Gabriel, and agreed with her that the media was under-covering the story.

All three of Maher’s panelists thought new Attorney General Eric Holder was too harsh in describing America as a "nation of cowards" on race relations. Tina Brown of the Daily Beast called Holder a "total idiot" for projecting the opposite of Obama’s racial-healing tone. Maher found the most remarkable thing about it how much it riled conservatives.

"There’s a lot of seething hate out there. Did you see the HBO documentary this week called Right America: Feeling Wronged? Wow. There’s a popular black president and a minority of white people with a lot of guns. It’s not a good situation." Brown suggested some people hated George W. Bush, too, but Maxine Waters insisted "It’s not the same thing at all," and Maher agreed. "All that hate’s not gone away. It’s just gone under their tinfoil helmets."

If we are gonna execute the top two greedy pigs that caused the financial crisis. Then Angelo Mazillo and Phil Graham are it. The two most responsible for the crisis. If limited to one, just off Graham. He is such a repulsive human being.

It never ceases to amaze me

February 21, 2009 - 10:42 ET by fitzfong

It never ceases to amaze me how imbeciles like you can be so proud of their own ignorance. You haven't the slightest clue who the "two most responsible" are, so you picked the two most convenient to your lazy ideology from TIME's list. Besides Dodd and Frank, I noticed that TIME excluded Jamie Gorelick from the list. Gorelick has the unique distinction of causing both the financial meltdown and 9/11.

Old Maher must have been as high as a kite. In my BC day's I was a big stoner so I could tell. Maher must have smoked one skunky bud all by himself and then dropped some visine before this interview.

Only a person out of their right mind would have said such things. those kind of Statements should be treated as terroristic threatening which is a punishable offense.

Why would we execute rich, greedy "pigs"? Afterall, who would pay all the taxes in this country? Maybe we should eliminate the welfare queens, the illegal aliens, the anchor babies, the convicted rapists, murders and molesters in prison. Hmm, think of the money we would save? Oh, and stop sending money to other countries :)

The Left's Hate For Money

February 21, 2009 - 07:19 ET by mtdavs

I DO NOT for the life of me, understand the left's hatred for anyone making a decent income. Is Bill Maher being paid minimum wages for this job he's doing here? Obviously, I think we know the answer to that.

If he thinks hanging 2 rich, greedy pigs at the SuperBowl will help in some way improve the Economy, I take that to say, he's volunteering to be one of them? I'm quite sure, he's not exactly making peanuts. But, then again, it's ok for a Leftie to be rich just not a Conservative, right???

communistic all the way

February 21, 2009 - 07:43 ET by JohnMcGrew

...that we should be using it to light our homes.

Pot should be legal. But there are some problems. When the pot legalization crowd extrapolates the billions that the government would collect in taxes, they do so based upon the current street price, which is 98% risk-based due to the fact that it's illegal. Once legalized and most of the risk of growing, transporting, and distributing is gone, the price will plummet.

Then we will have to listen to the left whine about how it's marketed to children and what-not.

In a few years, the exact same people who fought for legalization will just be complaining about evil "big pot", and how they need their profits confiscated to anti-pot and more health and welfare programs. The government will regulate retail price via taxes, and the illegal importation and trade that exists now will re-emerge.

But at least a few hundred-thousand more bueaucrats will be on various governments payrolls.

Oh, and the Maher execution would be better held on pay-per-view.

Lets see him start in Holy Wood and work our way through the entertainment industry and once done with that the sports industry and congress. Oh, wait, that would be just like the Star Tribune and their Union problems. It is okay top promote hate, death, and unfairness until it hits in the belly of your own stink.

Maher is bloodthursty

February 21, 2009 - 09:29 ET by ClericalGal

Why does Maher wish death on those he disagrees with? He thought the world would be a better place with Dick Chaney dead, wished Rush Limbaugh would have OD'd instead of Heath Ledger, and now he want two unnamed "rich greedy pigs" publicly executed. Not to mention wanting Sarah Palin to be shot as a reincarnated wolf. This last example is telling. Maher is a member of PETA (google it). So he cares more about animals than human beings. He would scream and yell if actual pigs were executed, but has no qualms about humans that he dislikes dying a horrible death. What a gem of a guy (not).

Suggesting that the lives of rich people have no value. Casually...happily.

I've said this so many times...if any consevative speaker, comedic or otherwise, called for the death of some character from the left in such a fashion...yeah... yeah...we all know....

I would compare Maher to a cockroach, but I don't want to insult cockroaches.

Cockroaches serve a purpose however limited. Maher does not.

How long 'til he gets an invite to the White House? I'm sure this anti-American slime mold...(Should I malign slime molds in such a fashion?) and our dear leader will have much in common, and a good time would be had by all.

You don't suppose he's talking about..

..you know who. Two really rich and pompus greedy ones. Yea - those two. I think they served as P and VP during the era of exceptional greed and fraud of the late 90's. You know, when the rich got really rich - when CEO's pay went thru the ceiling - when the entire economy was based on greed and fraud. Yea those two - the two that left the country in crumbles and generally unprotected from terror attacks. Well, maybe he was talking about Raines and Johnson.

February 21, 2009 - 17:05 ET by Edward Cropper

Maher says stupid things to get press coverage. This inane creep should be
ignored by conservatives . He must be a Muslim, because he is a sorry piece of
Shiite.

Just a word about Bernie Goldberg. I am happy to see Goldberg be so
vociferous about liberal bias, but I still remember his CBS days when he was
right in the pact, and it is a little hard to accept his sudden switch and his
remarkable financial rewards for doing so
