(4,703 posts)Maher is gaining popularity, and adding to his wealth, by means of his "organic cucumber rant" without acknowledging to his current audience the occurrence of his 2000 rant which was just much against Gore it was against Bush. To the best of my memory, Maher's 2000 rant included his exclamation, "Bush, you suck! And Gore, you are just as bad." I do not think that Maher would want a video of that rant to be uncovered and shown to his current audience.
As for your question about what self-inflicted contrition pains Maher should offer to Gore, I am not focused on what apology Maher has offered to Gore, although I will say that the apology in the above video clip (if it can be termed an apology) appears rather weak. What I would like to see is Maher looking into the camera lens and offering a heartfelt apology to those of us who voted for Gore only to see our hopes dashed possibly because Maher exhorted his 2000 audience to vote for Nader.
