Bill Maher And Chris Matthews Bash Every Potential 2012 GOP Candidate During Interview

Video
» 119 comments

Bill Maher appeared with Chris Matthews today and virtually no Republican was safe from Maher’s comedic insults. With plenty of ground to cover, Maher stuck around for two segments and took aim at everyone from Governor Lard (New Jersey Governor Chris Christie) to the Professor of Idiocy (Newt Gingrich).

Maher was sad to see Donald Trump and Mike Huckabee leave as candidates because Trump’s ego needed the White House and since there were so many more comedic opportunities possible. Now Maher guesses the Republicans will nominate an “empty suit” like Tim Pawlenty for the top of the ticket and most likely a “frothing loon” like Michele Bachmann to be his running mate. Yet Maher continues to be amazed how Republican candidates have to say the craziest things to win the Iowa primary and then spend the rest of their campaign trying to backpedal from such nonsense.

In the next segment, Maher didn’t seem too troubled by Arnold Schwarzenegger’s love child, since unlike the IMF Chief who is charged with sexual assault, at least Arnold got a “yes” first before he went after the household help. Instead, he suggested America is a “childish country” for spending so much time obsessing over sex scandals when they have no relation, in Maher’s opinion, to a politician’s effectiveness in doing his job.

Returning to Newt, Maher wanted to let everyone in on a secret about Newt that not many people want to say publicly: “he’s ugly inside” and “he’s ugly [on the] outside.” Matthews got in on the “fun” too, suggesting that although he thinks Newt might be the devil, he’s probably wrong since Newt already looks like the devil and the devil would probably want to be better disguised. Overall, Maher isn’t worried about Obama’s re-election, not only because the competition is weak, but because Obama finally won over middle America and the white people by successfully shooting someone in the face.

    So Maher is Matthew’s idea of having diverse viewpoints on his show, eh?

    “Isn’t Obama’s big problem is that he does everything half-assed? Maybe it’s because he’s only half black.”

  • Cecelia

    Maybe one day this country will be as sophisticated, wise, and tolerant as Maher and Matthews.

    Until then, we’re stuck with both of them…

    I am also disappointed that Huckabee won’t be in the race because he could create a significant fissure in the Republican party, by creating division and avarice between evangelicals and Mormons. Now, if Romney does well, evangelicals will have to choose between a person they consider a black Muslim from Kenya who is not an American, or the follower of a religion which bastardized Christianity.

    My hope is they will hold their nose and stay home in the general election.

    Yo, Matt. Why are you singling out Maher and Priss?

Democrat operatives posing as news journalists have made their mission clear.

  • DaTruth

    Matthews and Maher… I can’t think of two more clueless people. And what’s worse for Matthews is he should actually HAVE a clue. But his entire show now –as well as every other prime time host on MSNBC– exists to demonize Republicans. BORING.

    How about actually DEBATING people? Of course, with Matthews, a debate usually means getting one word out answering a question before he asks a follow-up, so I guess that’s out.

  • Azarkhan

    Of the 204 new Obamacare waivers President Barack Obama’s administration approved in April, 38 are for fancy eateries, hip nightclubs and decadent hotels in House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s Northern California district.

    That’s in addition to the 27 new waivers for health care or drug companies and the 31 new union waivers Obama’s Department of Health and Human Services approved.

    Pelosi’s district secured almost 20 percent of the latest issuance of waivers nationwide, and the companies that won them didn’t have much in common with companies throughout the rest of the country that have received Obamacare waivers.

  • SteveMG

    Maher’s comment don’t bother me – he is what he is; but let’s remember that MSNBC uses Matthews to anchor their news desk during the primaries and elections.

    That has to stop. He has no business anchoring their election coverage.

    None.

    If he wants to be a partisan Democrat, fine; just stay away from the news room.

  • The Lantern of Truth

    King Obama plans to abdicate after eight years of his reign .

    “WASHINGTON – Eight years as president is enough, thank you. At least that’s what Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says President Barack Obama told her the other day.

    Clinton said Tuesday that she and Obama often marvel over foreign despots who want to stay in power for decades.

    She told a State Department forum that neither she nor Obama can understand leaders who refuse to transfer power and cling to office for 10, 20, 30 or 40 years.”

  • WillP

    The bottom line is that the Republican field is weak. It is weak for a reason. The strongest candidates such as Christie, Huckabee, or Jeb Bush don’t want to lose their chance to win a general election in a very tough year against a popular, incumbent president. Why not wait four more years? Expect those three names mentioned to be part of a stronger field running on the ballot in 2016 when the chances of winning are far greater than in 2012.

    Since the Republicans want to do their best to disenfranchise Democrats by insisting on photo IDs that are quite difficult to obtain for many people I don’t blame Bill Maher for bashing them. I still remember N. Gingrich’s so called Contract for America and how it severely effected the most vulnerable in the US. Plus his personal morality of serving divorce papers to his wife just post mastectomy. Oh and Ron Paul wants to completely eliminate Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. He says he wants to help the deficit. Never once mentioning corporate welfare and how most corporations don’t pay any taxes whatsoever.

Why Ms. Tingles hates women so much I don’t know but, Chrissy is one sick hater. The way Chrissy goes after women much smarter than Chrissy, like Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin, can only be because Chrissy is jealous of them for both their brains and looks. Chrissy Matthews has to be the dumbest, stupidest, most out of touch sicko around who only knows about old movies. Chrissy looks like she was going to pass out today. Her skin was very white yet flushed with blood. I started thinking she was about to have a stroke. It is time for Ms. Tingles to retire. And Wee Willie Maher is just plain totally worthless as a human being if she is even human.

    Oh it’s not just Pelosi:

    (Las Vegas Sun) – Nevada got a partial waiver from the health care law — a significant development that Democrats are dismissing as par for the course and Republicans are claiming as a political victory.

    The Health and Human Services Department announced late Friday that Nevada had secured a statewide waiver from certain implementation requirements of the Obama administration’s health care law, because forcing them through, the department found, “may lead to the destabilization of the individual market.”

    Hey libs, if Obamacare is SO great, why are these Dems rushing to secure so many waivers?

    Maher at his best! it’s interesting that rightwingers really flock to Mediaite because it’s infinitely more interesting, challenging, informative and certainly funnier than anything they’ll find on rightwing websites which are truly awful, predicable and boring. It’s obvious that the Republican Party as presented by Maher and Matthews is not fit to govern, and that’s the God’s honest truth.

    Yes, Seek, what we need are more “HANDOUTS”….let the few who pay taxes support the lazy azzes collecting welfare…..got any more “goodies” that you DUMBOCRAPS can dream up for the “po folks”?

    You’re right! We need to give more money to corporations that don’t pay taxes! Grandma don’t need her social security! Starving children are only bringing the country down!

    When the rich were taxed at 90% in the 50′s America was at it’s most prosperous. We need to bring back the middle class. Tax the wealthy appropriately.

    You’re going to bring back the “middle class” by taxing the wealthy? How does that work? Money goes directly into your bank account? Economics wasn’t your strong suit was it? lol

    We “flock” here? No, first I check theblaze and guess which stories won’t be covered by mediate. It’s rather easy really. Then I go to Drudge – same thing. I know if there is something against the republicans it will appear here. Besides Gammy, we are helping keep you educated. Once you open your front door and find out the real world isn’t how you think it is, it could be catastrophic for your health so we are performing a public service. You’re welcome.

    p.s. I’d keep God out of it, or I wouldn’t venture out in a thunderstorm – nasty things could happen when you lie.

    Got an A in economics, thanks (the teacher was a Republican). Warren Buffet said that he doesn’t pay enough taxes. There is now a consortium of wealthy people who feel that they don’t pay enough taxes. Unfortunately, corporations like the big 5 oil companies who just went in front of congress to explain why they’re recording record profits, record salaries and bonuses while squeezing every penny from middle class America hire bigger lawyers and lobbyists to guarantee that they pay little or no taxes, or even get billions in tax funds from the U.S.

    If you tax the wealthy appropriately, it will increase revenues to the U.S. Treasury, decreasing the debt and allow a re-investing in the infrastructure and educational systems in the U.S. Look at history. The most prosperous time in the U.S. was in the 50′s when taxes for the wealthy were at 90%. Look at history, the Renaissance was built from the middle class:

    And that’s how it works. Now get up off the floor and stop laughing. I know you disagree and that’s o.k. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion.

    No, I think that the more money you make, the more you should contribute to society. It’s ok with Warren Buffet. It was o.k. with me when I owned a restaurant making $2 million a year and it’s o.k. with me now that I’m only making $48,000.

    Thanks Fish, you knew I wouldn’t agree. The Government has just become so bloated and more waste and fraud is apparent to everyone. That is the problem with Government; they should look at Companies and how they attack waste and fraud and cull it.

    That’s the part that makes my blood boil, along with Greta – that is her bailiwick. I worked for Companies that because they had to answer to shareholders, their records were impeccable. The left is so insistent at making Companies the bad guys that it becomes comical to me when I see the Oil Company Heads being questioned. These companies aren’t doing anything illegal. It’s a show – everyone knows it. Nobody has the balls to touch corruption and fraud within the government, and with the size of the budget it would be so easy to streamline operations and save billions of tax payers dollars. It’s the big elephant in the room that nobody wants to touch. Why not?

    It’s very easy to go after the wealthy and demand they pay more. Buffet has his wrapped up tighter than a drum. There is nothing stopping him from cutting a check and saying “I think you guys need this more than I do” – but no. He talks the talk. There aren’t too many Buffets btw.

    So, you think because I’ve worked my ass off all my life and made a considerable some to enable me to enjoy my retirement that I ought to let the government redistribute what I’ve earned to you? How much of your (ahem) two million per year did you give up as a “contribution to society”–aside from the money that was confiscated from you by your government? Be honest, Jesus is watching.

    BTW, Mattews, if you want to talk about racism, ask Maher about these gems: Bill Maher on how he expected BHO to act with BP: “I was expecting a “real black president”– you know, the kind that “lifts up his shirt so they can see the gun in his pants.” “We’ve got a ‘mother@!#$%ing problem here?” Shoot somebody in the foot.” “Isn’t Obama’s big problem is that he does everything half-assed? Maybe it’s because he’s only half black.”

    Those things don’t indicate racism. They indicate white guilt and extreme stupidity. Bill Maher is perhaps the dumbest person I’ve ever seen passed off as intelligent. I really doubt his IQ is higher than 80

    I love how this is reported on, and there’s zero mention by the writer of the complete insanity of a news organization presenting itself as honest, and then vomitting this forth onto the tv’s of 27 people.

    The funniest part wasn’t where you said the Oil Companies aren’t doing anything illegal even. It was the part where you didn’t name any of these upstanding straight and narrow companies you ‘used’ to work for!

    Say it ain’t so……you mean the putrid piece of flesh that gets so much bandwidth and praise from the lefty locals around here is really a vile woman hater that has no problem using race to malign someone he supposedly cared for or, the president? Oh, my, he sure gets a great big pass around here, heh.

    No, Maher is Matthew’s idea of having Maher on his show. Sometimes a comedian is just a comedian.
