Bill Maher admits his cowardice

[misanthrope]

without realizing that is what is he is doing.

“I’ll tell you this, I’ve never said this publicly, but it’s true,” Maher recalled. “We went into the little merch room after the Oval Office. And he started yelling at me about the bit I did many years ago about the orangutang.”

-SNIP-

Since that meeting, Maher noted there have been “no jokes about his weight, no jokes about his hair, his makeup,” etc. Maher made it clear that digs about First Lady Melania Trump were off the table, too.

Maher shared that his writers recently pitched a joke about the president’s hand, but he said that he shut the bit down. “I’m 70. That could be my hand tomorrow,” Maher stated. “So I’m not making fun of physical deformities and that stuff.”

Maher gave in to the bully.

1. And there it is.

[NotHardly]

13. Now that is a true coward

[MustLoveBeagles]

2. Disappointed

I used to like him

[Cha]

3. He sure as Shit Did. Not just a "bully" But

a Neo Fucking Nazi who kills innocent people for fun and war games.

Oh and is Killing America.. but Maher is okay with that.. it's "Off the table"

[Silent Type]

4. He violated that every show since meeting.

[SocialDemocrat61]

7. So Maher is lying

Not surprising.

[PJMcK]

5. Stopped watching Maher some time ago

He makes me angry. I don't need his nonsense.

[maxsolomon]

6. most every outlet of american media has left MFer's clown costuming off the table. not just maher.

When was the last time you heard his ridiculous combover bleached pompadour discussed? Or that he wears orange bronzer EVERY DAY? His obesity? That he wears lifts in his shoes?

But remember that time John Kerry wore biking shorts? All over the news. He wasn't heteronormative!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

8. I stopped watching Maher a very long time ago

Maher ceased to be funny a long time ago. Now it seems that Maher is also a coward. Who is surprised by this?

[twodogsbarking]

9. Bill Who?

[paleotn]

11. The only pain people like Maher will ever feel is exactly that.

Obscurity.

[twodogsbarking]

14. He, at times, seems to demean people for his own delight. That is weird.

Might be unfair for me to say as I don't watch him but I have in the past.

[paleotn]

10. Bill Maher is all about Bill Maher and very little else.

Really, there's very little difference between him and the orange, narcissistic jackass. A different color of narcissistic jackass I suppose.

[Martin68]

12. Proves Maher is and always has ben a total phony. I used to think he was intelligent and funny. What really offends me

after all his diatribes against wokeness, now he justifies pulling his punches against Trump by saying he will get old someday so he won't make fun of the President's physical weaknesses. So he emphasizes with Trump but not the rest of us. Fuck him.

[Hassler]

15. He's always been a weasel. No surprise that

He comes across like Lindseed Graham

[iemanja]

16. Why are people surprised that Maher is a POS?

He always has been.

[Prairie Gates]

17. Fuck Bill Maher

[orleans]

18. keith olbermann has talked about him on his podcast. he doesn't like him at all. lol nt

[Abolishinist]

29. Would that be the same Keith Olbermann who made disgusting comments about those fundraising for childhood cancer?

Who was suspended for his controversial remarks about Penn State on Twitter?

On Twitter, Olbermann got into it with students and fans over the school's annual pediatric cancer fundraiser called "Thon." The Penn State dance Marathon known as "Thon" began Friday night at the Bryce Jordan Center in State College and wound up at 4 p.m. Sunday. Hundreds took part in the annual dance marathon over the weekend which raised more than $13 million for pediatric cancer research and care.

The fund's mission is to conquer childhood cancer by assisting children treated at Penn State Hershey Children's Hospital. The fund ensures that all expenses a family incurs are covered, from medical bills to gas and food money and household living expenses.

A PSU alum sent Olbermann a tweet saying "We Are!" with a link to the news on the Thon.

That's when Olbermann responded "pitiful."

Who threatened CNN commentator Scott Jennings with “you’re next motherf—er,” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination?

Whose romantic partners have included Fox broadcaster Laura Ingraham, former US Senator Kyrsten Sinema, MSNBC anchor Katy Tur, and Olivia Nuzzi?

“We thought for many years that he was losing it, and I say this honestly and out of concern for another human being,” said Sage Steele, a former ESPN anchor who previously worked with Olbermann at the network. She now hosts the Sage Steele Show on YouTube.

“He needs some serious help,” added Steele. “It’s actually heartbreaking to see, especially for those of us who grew up watching him.”

When you attempt to score points by dragging in a third party, the bare minimum is that the third party not be laughably flawed. Otherwise your "argument" collapses under the weight of its own irony.

[orleans]

31. yeah yeah yeah that "same" keith olbermann. you don't like him. i do. give me a fucking break.

[Dave Id]

19. Maher is his own biggest fan

He laughs at his own jokes when his guests or audience don't.

[misanthrope]

25. To be honest, they aren't "his" jokes

His writers came up with them.

[TomWilm]

20. Not making fun of Tr*mps physical deformities is a very OK policy ...

... but this coward also stopped satirizing all the orangutan's political actions.

[Iggo]

23. Physical deformities and grooming choices are two different things.

[Chicagogrl1]

21. Bill Maher only thinks of Bill Maher

He used to rip the magats when it was fashionable. He tones it down now because he thinks its best for him. He’s a fair weather POS!

[Martin Eden]

22. In that meeting, Bill Maher was a useful idiot for Donald Trump

Trump is mentally impaired, but he proved to be the dumber of the two.

[ToxMarz]

24. The most powerful man in world in the most important DEMOCRACY in the world

has always and should always live under a a very incisive and critical microscope. His health and ability to serve this country are tantamount to the duties of the fourth estate reporting. Bill Maher now says he just gets a pass because 'I'm old too and I wouldn't like it'. Then don't run for President Bill or Donald.

[Jack Valentino]

26. He *might have* seemed *fresh* in the late '80s or whenever he showed up, but

he is WAY past his 'sell by' date.... trying too hard to be 'relevant'
when he clearly is no longer....

[womanofthehills]

27. He just said he's no longer doing his commedy routine on the road

He said he’s afraid he will be killed. He said it could be from either side as he offended both sides.

He also said the younger comedians are not as good as him. Narcissistic I would say.

[SocialDemocrat61]

28. If he were still making money for stand up

he would risk it. My guess is he just doesn’t attract an audience any more because he’s not funny anymore and everyone now sees through his BS.

[Faux pas]

30. He's always been

a sniveling little weasel

[Greybnk48]

32. Why are there daily Bill Maher updates on DU, and none for anyone else?

This has been for weeks. The guy is not a Democrat, he's not smart, and he's not funny. I don't get it.
