So Bill Maher, with his latest "witty" quip, believes women are not capable of handling the U.S. presidency because women such as Margaret Thatcher have caused problems. To blame either gender for the world's problems is ignorant beyond words, but especially blaming women, who have largely been left out of the political process until recent years, is absurd! This is more fuel for my argument that Maher is a creepy, chauvanist asshole who is way less clever and culturally important than he believes himself to be.
I would say something about humorless feminists,but I consider myself one....
If you read the Times article on Frey, it says that a Hazeldon counselor who had been on Oprah before, told an Oprah producer BEFORE FREY WAS ON OPRAH'S SHOW, that his descriptions of rehab were not true.
So, Oprah knew beforehand that he lied about his rehab experience.
Why do we keep letting this guy style himself as a "rancher" and a "cowboy" when the most basic skill needed by either is one he lacks, the ability to ride a horse?
It was a JOKE, Bill Maher is a comedian. Sensitive, sensitive.
The man honestly hates women. He dates the kind of women that men who hate women love to date.
That's why he ended up getting sued for palimony by his last girlfriend. It was a BS lawsuit, but in a way, he totally asked for it, because his negative attitudes about women keep him from dating the kind of women who aren't just using him for money or VIP lounge access.
Bush isn't a rancher. He's a trust fund baby who pays people to maintain his family home with the appearance of a ranch.
Bush is a brush clearer, not a rancher. And his estate down there is not a ranch, not remotely.
But letting that go, what on earth would make anyone assert to Bush that he'd love the movie?
Was that deliberately provocative, or just dumb?
Maher is a misogynist wanker, he always has been. I feel like I need a shower just watching him on the telly.
If "Brokeback Mountain" had come out five years ago, would Bush have run for the presidency as the make-believe cowboy? The only consolation is that this movie may spare us from future politicos who come out of their gated communities, take off their silk ties, put on a Stetson fresh out of the box and pretend to be cowboys.
And for the Bush fans out there, sorry, but cowboys don't come from New Haven, Connecticut and they don't get their schooling at the Phillips Andover Academy in Massachusetts.
She thinks all men are heartless jerks.
Guess what kind of guys she picks to date.
It's a nice little closed universe she lives in.
It bugs me that Bill Maher is that way because he's a major spokesman for medical marijuana, and it's not helpful to the cause that he's so hooked on carping about women.
