Bill Maher Explains Why He's Right And Rush Is Wrong

Bill Maher is funny. Rush isn't.  According to Bill Maher.

I'm a comedian – not just a guy who says he is, like Rush, but someone who – well, you saw me do stand-up last year in D.C. There’s a big difference between just saying you’re a comedian and going out and getting thousands of people to laugh hard for 90 minutes....

I let the audience be the guide. The bit I did about Palin using the word c—, one of the biggest laughs in my act, I did it all over the country, not one person ever registered disapproval, and believe me, audiences are not afraid to let you know.  Because it was a routine where that word came in at just the right moment....

[Limbaugh] went after a civilian about very specific behavior, that was a lie, speaking for a party that has systematically gone after women’s rights all year, on the public airwaves. I used a rude word about a public figure who gives as good as she gets, who's called people "terrorist" and “unAmerican.”

Actually, I think it's a difference in what liberals consider funny and what conservatives consider funny. I don't find it funny when any woman is called a dumb twat. I guess I just wouldn't fit into Maher's audience. I wouldn't fit into Wanda Sykes' audience either.
