Joy Behar And Bill Maher Joke About Dick Cheney’s Heart Attack

video
» 19 comments


Too soon? Tonight on The Joy Behar Show, the View co-host discussed Dick Cheney‘s recent hospitalization with Bill Maher, who didn’t waste any time or sympathy before calling the former VP a Soviet robot. Yikes!




We know it’s Bill Maher’s way to be as baiting and provocative as possible, but this might be erring on the side of a little too flippant. At least Joy acknowledges that there seems to be a lack of concern in her liberal circle with the welfare of another human being, no matter how strongly she may disagree with his politics. And she’s obviously uncomfortable with Maher’s crack, immediately changing the subject. Who wouldn’t want to move on after that kind of joke at the expense of someone in the hospital?

    Maher was also making derogatory remarks about Dale Earnhardt right after he died. Maher is a classy guy.

    Sorry Mediaite, but it is no longer news when leftists display a lack of class.

    A sign at a tea party is equivalent to a guy with a TV show. No difference.

    I used to e-mail Bill Maher often after watching him get the facts wrong on his HBO show.. that and how he likes to make fun of those who hold Christian beliefs. These two people just make me feel ill whenever I hear them or see them.

    Maher doesn’t have sense enough to see it this way: If Christians are wrong, then nothing happens when they die. If Maher is wrong……..

    Darth Cheney gets no sympathy because he’s a fiendish and evil person. He had a mental patient tortured until he said that Iraq was involved in the 9-11 attacks. When Augusto Pinochet, another cowardly thug with a fondness for torture and killing (from a safe distance of course), kicked the bucket I had a good chuckle and was glad that such a wicked brute was gone for good. In a perfect world, Pinochet and Cheney would have faced justice on the scaffold, but this isn’t a perfect world.

    If that offends the sensibilities of concern trolls who are more worried about “incivility” than whether people are tortured and murdered, tough titty.

    Where did this ‘proof’ come from? The Daily Kos? Sources please.

    Jelpe, you will believe absolutely ANYTHING, won’t you?

    I wonder what scope of trauma a human being goes through to agree with Bill Maher

    >If Christians are wrong, then nothing happens when they die. If Maher is wrong……..

    And Christianity is the religion then I suppose that Maher was wrong about? What if it was Buddhism? Or Sikhism? Norse paganism?

    Such a bad argument.

    There was a time when Bill Maher was a left guy that you could see how he formed
    his opinions. He understood debate and civility. It seems though after he lost
    ‘Politically Incorrect’ he changed into a raving far left loon. Even worse after
    he got ‘Real Time’. Guess one can sell out…..

    The main difference between Maher and Olbermann is Maher laughing at his own jokes. Wonder if they next went on an extended rant about all the violent talking coming from the Right.

    Maher will be Maher. My outrage is directed at the despicable dimwit, Joy Behar. May her neck rolls tighten like wet leather under the blazing heat of the desert sun!

  • silkworm

    Maher is still desperate for attention. He and Olbermann probably goggle their names more than anyone.
    Maher is now out in the left fringe area stuck in HBO land.

    Cheney is an arrogant, self-serving coward. He conspired with other neo-cons to manipulate media outlets and Congress into pursuing two ill-conceived wars. And then screwed up by not being prepared to actually define victory and then achieve it. Except history will demonstrate, once Bush administration documents are released, that Cheney and co. actually wanted the wars we now are engaged in- hundreds of billions of dollars going into the military industrial complex- clearly all that money didn’t actually end up going toward the war effort. Cheney deserves no respect and certainly no sympathy. His behavior has been criminal and his continued vocal opposition to Bush and Obama administration war policies are factually inaccurate at best and treasonous at worst. The world will be better off without him or his ilk- so I say those voicing faux outrage at two comedians should re-direct it at a man who promoted policies that led to over 5000 American deaths and the weakening of America. To sum up, Cheney can, and will, go to hell.

  • pyrope

    Low class people make remarks like the Mahers of the world.

  • writer

    Bush was going on intelligence carried over from the Clinton administration. And Democrats in congress voted for the war. To act like Cheney is solely or mostly responsible is just an excuse for the far left to display the seething hatred it has for anyone who disagrees with them. Right after 9/11, Maher said ‘we’re the cowards’. Anyone twisted enough to defend Maher is beyond hope.
