Bill Maher riffs on Ted Cruz and marijuana

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/11/02/1252499/-Bill-Maher-riffs-on-Ted-Cruz-and-marijuana

And finally, New Rule: Someone has to tell me how a guy as useless and hateful as Ted Cruz can perform an act as pointless and cruel as hunting, and still look like he's faking it.

It's like your prison cellmate faking an orgasm while he rapes you. If he's not digging this, who is it for?

And why, Ted, why? You've already proved your total dominion over primitive creatures with brains the size of walnuts — after all, you're the leader of the Tea Party! (audience applause)

I mean, come on, you guys, you say you're for freedom, and for getting the government off our backs. Why not embrace pot? You could own greed and weed. Legalizing it speaks to all the most hallowed conservative principles, like individual rights, deregulation, and of course, taking jobs away from Mexicans.

And besides, in this age of popping Molly and shooting up with weird Russian drugs that make your skin rot off, pot is conservative. To kids, it's something the old folks reminisce about at Thanksgiving.

Two-thirds of Americans under 30 want it to be legal. These are the new voters. And by the time they're 65, they'll expect weed to be covered in Medicare Part D. (audience laughter)
