Okay, Bill Maher made me laugh.

When Bush & an autistic teenager do a photo together...

You must be able to tell them apart.

(he had the photo and they looked a lot alike)

1. "wear name tags so we can tell you apart"

2. "mccain is so far up bush's ass

he can taste the near-beer"

3. I don't find that funny. It is sad that the pResident felt the need to

exploit an autistic teen for political advantage and sad that a comedian felt the need to capitalize on it in order to bash a self serving pResident.

4. I won't argue with you, I'd be the first to admit to a sick sense of humor

I have been involved with two autistics in my life, both whom I love to this day and consider to be amazing and wonderful human beings.

5. Wasn't saying anything about you personally. Please do not take

it as such.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

6. Didn't think you did. Just thought that it might seem insensitive to some

and wanted to take the post to clarify as the OP could lean towards another POv.

8. I thought so, too.

That photo op with the autistic teenager smacked of the worst sort of pandering politics.

"Hey, remember how great you felt when you saw this poor autistic kid sink all those baskets? Think you might be willing to slide a little of that love... my way? Cuz I'm huggin' on him right now. Doesn't seeing how willing I am to spend time with an autistic kid make you want to up my poll numbers just a tad?"

Barf.

9. Yes indeed!

:puke: He has no shame and the bushbots eat it up.
