From HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher:
Confronting an assertion that the new Republican budget, cutting $10 billion from Medicaid and adding over $100 billion in tax cuts for the rich, was a necessary setting of priorities to cut our huge budget deficits, Martin Short asked:
Would you say that the rich have gotten poorer under George Bush?
Discussing new polls showing George W. Bush’s approval rating at only 44%, Bill Maher said:
The American public always wanted to vote for a guy — and Bush was the perfect guy — who they’d want to have over for pot roast. And George Bush is that guy. He does that well. You’d like to have him over for pot roast. He reminds you of yourself.
Well, now he’s been over, he’s had the pot roast, but he’s getting drunk, and now he’s talking about stem cells and Terri Schiavo and gay marriage, and now he’s the guest that won’t leave.
