5. Yeah, hilarious. Well, he's known to be a nasty, hateful shit

Between the flagrant misogyny and the relentless, hate-filled Muslim-bashing (funny how many of his fans try to claim he hates all religions equally, when Maher himself will tell you different), he's quite the piece of work.

I'm not surprised he's throwing scorn at Medea. A couple of weeks ago Jeremy Scahill was on Real Time and Maher seemed bored and annoyed when Scahill brought up Abdulrahman al-Awlaki. In fact, in general, I've noticed more and more RW talking points creeping into Maher's shtick. Well, common sense tells you that any man who repeatedly puts S.E. Cupp before TV cameras is not a friend.
