Cheered by the semi-viral response to his tirade against Barack Obama last week, smarmy fuck Bill Maher goes back to the well, this time taking on the Democratic party as a whole. It is, once again, immensely frustrating: the fucking smarm is off the goddamn charts, and yet... he makes several absolutely correct points. This has got to stop. I cannot be the guy at the end of the bar who goes, "Yeah, but did you see Bill Maher the other night? Smarmy fuck made a lot of sense!"

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.
