    Agreed Conrw, Maher is a lightweight

    Maher says "we all love Gore. . ." the guy he always called 'Bore' as in 'Bore and Gush' back in 2000.

    He is neither well-intentioned nor well-informed. He says in this interview that Gore did not campaign on the environment in 2000 (big sin, the environment didn't even poll measurably for voters in 2000). Just look at Gore's acceptance speech. The economy first -- understandable -- some acknowledgments, and then right into his own environmental record.

    That's just my quibble. I think his biggest sin is that he is not funny enough.
