1. Politico is owned by the same rightwing, creepy family that got Bill Maher pulled off of ABC.

He got bagged for saying that, in essence, the Nahn Wun Wun hijackers were assholes, but they weren't "cowards" as it takes a fair amount of fortitude to fly a plane into a building knowing you will die. That family owned the ABC outlets in several cities, including Washington DC--and they became OUTRAGED and pulled the plug. Of course, a political show that doesn't get seen in DC is toast. Thus ended POLITICALLY INCORRECT.

Instead of this ruining Maher, he rose from the ashes on HBO, with an hour long show, more moxie, better guests...and NO CENSORSHIP. He went from a GOP annoyance to their worst nightmare...!
