The Celebrity Section

I’ve been watching HBO’s Real Time With Bill Maher for about a month now. Even though it sometimes makes me cringe, it seems there’s something good on there every week. Now the show is going on summer vacation, so this blog may not have so many quotes from comedians and foreign dignitaries for the next few months.

Bill Maher on liberals:

We don’t hate America. We love America. We just want it back from the cretins who’ve taken it over.

Al Franken on the people who opposed having a paper trail on electronic voting machines:

If they wanted people not to have conspiracy theories, they would have a paper trail. So, if they wanted to actually play this clean, and not get people doubting — if you really believe you’re gonna win, you don’t want people doubting that you won. You want the certainty.

The Republicans don’t mind a little doubt, so long as they have the power. If they can make the doubters look paranoid, then heck — that’s just a bonus.
