I don't have as much of a problem with it here as I did with Letterman, partly because he is directly commenting on the situation and the response Sarah gave rather than just making stuff up.

Maher also is more 'fair' in his humor, after making fun of Obama just the other day.

Is this one over the line too? Probably, but it's in the gray area just over on the other side of the line, whereas what Letterman said was miles and miles past the line in open country. Turning what someone said over on themselves is somewhat respectable in terms of comedy. It is nearly parody, with a dash of irony. It is separate from making outrageous claims with little to no motivation.

Maher hasn't been funny..........ever.....he should shut up and get a job flipping burgers somewhere...

Diversion?

In defending his friend, Maher thought Republicans had over reacted and this was just a case of ‘fake’ outrage. Much ado about nothing. He then went on talking about how Letterman had invited Sarah Palin and her young daughter, Willow, to appear as guests on his show but the Governor declined because she thought it would be wise to keep her daughter away from him. Said Maher, “…that’s right, he’s 62 years old, he’s gonna fuck her right there on stage…it would be very wise to keep her, very wise, yes. You know, I’d worry a little more about the 18-year old hockey players who knock up your daughters.” To which his audience of trained seals laughed and clapped and had a good old time.

He said nothing inappropriate...as usual, the right has to create issues to keep their ideas in the media...which are only paranoid sexual fantasies which apparently they love to keep talking about.

Much ado about nothing....but hey, with only 22% of the American population calling themselves republicans, you're not going to find the cream of the crop in that group...

I know the right wishes it were so, but Obama won by 52% of the people voting..and the republicans can't figure out if Limbaugh, Cheney, or Palin are their leaders now because it's clear Steele is not.

In a word (one more word than this deserves the dignity of), bullshit.

ROFLMAO....Ever hear of Intimidation at the polls?

Worries About Voter Intimidation Run High : NPR

All Things Considered, October 6, 2008 · When voters go to the polls in November — or even before then — they could face the possibility of being challenged by local political parties or fellow voters.
Just last week, the Montana Republican Party filed challenges against 6,000 voters who are registered in the state.
In 2004, tens of thousands of voters had their eligibility questioned, often by Republicans who said they were worried about voter fraud.
Now, Democrats have raised concerns that such challenges are being used to intimidate legitimate voters.
Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie recalls that four years ago, Republican challengers were brought into his state from Texas and Washington, D.C., to watch the polls. He said some questioning of voters got so contentious that fights broke out and the police were called.
"Verbal challenges we found were both designed to be abusive and discourage other voters in the line who didn't want to go through that kind of verbal abuse," he said. "And also, they were designed to slow the movement of the line to discourage voting."
Now the state has a new law. Only residents can challenge another voter. The challenges have to be written down, and they must be based on direct, personal knowledge that, for example, someone doesn't live where he says he does.
Ritchie says he wants to stop ineligible people from casting ballots. "But we do not want the process of challenging to be kind of a backdoor way of preventing people from voting," he said.
Concerns About Voter Intimidation In Close Election
Democrats are suing to prevent Michigan Republicans from using home foreclosure lists to question the eligibility of voters — even though Republicans have insisted repeatedly they have no plans to do so.
Republicans say they will be vigilant this year to protect against voter fraud. Last week, the Montana GOP challenged thousands of voters after comparing their names against change-of-address forms indicating that the individuals had moved.
"There's a large concern here, I think, among most Montanans," says Bridger Pierce, the state Republican Party's communications director. "Is our process fair? Is everything that's being done being done legally? I mean, when I go to the polls and I vote for my candidate, is there somebody who's illegally voting on the other side of the issue for the other candidate?"
The questioned voters are being notified, but how the challenges will be resolved is unclear. That's a big problem, according to voting rights advocates.
Voting Laws Vary Nationwide
Laws vary from state to state and are often vague. In 2004, Ohio Republicans drew up a list of 35,000 voters whom they planned to challenge, based on letters sent to voters' homes and returned as undeliverable — a process known as caging.
In the end, the challenges were blocked, but the incident unnerved a lot of people. Now, partisan challengers are no longer allowed in Ohio polling places, and returned mail alone can't be used to cancel a registration.
"Ohio needs to be singled out, I think, as a place that had this horrendous experience and actually took some proactive, not perfect, but very good steps to try and make sure that didn't happen again," said Tova Wang, an election expert with Common Cause.
She says the problem is that Ohio is the exception, rather than the rule.
"In most states, it's pretty easy to challenge someone's right to either be on the voter registration list or challenge them at the polling place," she said.
In Florida, she said, any voter can challenge another by signing an affidavit saying he has reason to believe the person is ineligible, but the evidence required is vague. In many states, it's up to the challenged voters to prove they are eligible by showing identification or other proof.
In Pennsylvania, a challenged voter has to find another voter to vouch for his identity if he wants to cast a regular ballot, according to Wang.
"That means they better have come up with someone who they know, or otherwise they might have a real problem and have to vote by provisional ballot," she added.
Provisional ballots are cast on Election Day but set aside and only counted after the controversy is resolved. But, there again, rules differ from state to state, and many provisional ballots are rejected.

I'd say ACORN registering people and finding their own errors and reporting it is far less an attack on our constitutional rights of what the RIGHT has been doing in VOTER INTIMIDATION>
