Rabid Homophobia on Display
Jan. 18th, 2008 09:07 pmAnd I used to like Bill Maher.
Maher was a guest on Jay Leno's The Tonight Show the other night. It all started out well. Maher was doing what he does best, insulting politicians. He had one bit about "All Democrats are..." (I don't remember what he said, but I know I laughed) followed by "All Republicans are homosexuals," which confused everyone until he clarified, "But not your garden variety homosexuals. No, the Republican party has your Larry Craig, sex-in-public-bathrooms-homosexuals, your Mark Foley, harassing-Congressional-pages-homosexuals..." etc.
It was funny. (For those of you not in USA, the Republican Party is the party which opposes same-sex marriage and hold themselves to be "holier-than-thou," so Maher's pointing out the hypocrisy of the myriad of recent scandals worked.)
( Then things went downhill. )
