Bill Maher Defends Clint Eastwood: He Spoke To A Chair For Ten Minutes And The Audience Loved It

[Bucky]

18. Oh, Bill Maher always defends his Hollywood buddies.

He's a business man and he's loyal to his friends and nice to people who can help him do well in business. He's friends with Ann Coulter and defends her character, of all things, pretty frequently, even when he pounds her down on ideas and individual issues. I'd admire the distinction more if the core problem with Ann Coulter wasn't precisely her lack of personal integrity.

Eastwood's different. He's a professional, patriotic, and responsible person who just happens to be wrong on the issues. He only ever presented himself as an entertainer. I kind of agree with Maher on Eastwood, but it's good to remember that this is also a smart career choice on Bill's part.
