Smarmy fuck Bill Maher takes it to President Obama, saying that he should spend less time worrying about his public image and more time actually taking care of his job. It's difficult to properly express just how much my disdain for Bill Maher makes it hard to concede that he's pretty much right; I keep wanting to point out how bad (and old) some of the jokes are. Still, for a smarmy fuck, he's got a point; I just wish it were delivered by someone who is less fucking smarmy.
I hate having to agree with people I'm repulsed by. It's sort of like having to defend a lame artist like Andres Serrano against people who claim his work is not art.
PJ O'Roarke out-smarms everyone. Why he has a place at the media buffet is beyond me. I would rather drink my own urine than listen to one more acid reflux inducing "quip" from the self-important ass-pole. Sorry kind of off topic–but I see fury everytime the PJ is brought up.
Maher is smarmy as hell, but almost always expresses opinions I agree with, which makes him OK in my book. He should stick to panel moderating, where he really excels, and lay of the "jokes."
Spiers, where can I find a Visio drawing of the Blumenthal Scale? I need it for work.
Remind me never to have this guy or Keith Olbermann give me instructions how to exit a burning building.
I take solace in knowing this man will spend his last years painfully alone and unloved.
Ha! Not likely.
Balk, it could have been worse. He could have let P.J. O'Rourke deliver that speech. P.J.'s smarminess is far smarmier than Maher's.
Yes, but it was almost worth it for the uncomfortable Chris Matthews cutaway.
No.

He used to be very very funny, at least in the written word.
I like his books. Though I have not read anything of his in the last 10 years. What is he like now?
I dunno. On the Sidney Blumenthal Scale of Smarmy Fuckitude, I think Maher's about a 7. Which still makes him somewhat watchable.
But yeah.

I find B. Maher unsmarmy. I apologize in advance for my contrarian stance.
It's refreshing to know that I'm not the only non-Foxbot who can't stand this pompous ass.
I actually disagree with sac, I think he's a terrible moderator who can obviously only hear himself speak.
this would've been easier to take if he didn't bury the important kernel in a pile of awful jokes, inane whining, and self-aggrandizement.
