Bill Maher: GOP will nominate Scott Walker as worst of ‘are you f*cking kidding me?’ candidates

[DonViejo]

Speaking with Buzzfeed, the host of HBO’s Real Time, admitted that he would in all likelihood support Hillary Clinton, while dismissing Republicans out of hand. Maher said that Walker is ideal for Republicans because, “he’s the worst and the Republicans, you know, they are pretty good at nominating the ‘are you f*cking kidding me?’ candidate. And to me, Mr. Walker is the ‘are you f*cking kidding me?’ candidate.”

Maher was less kind to former Governor Jeb Bush of Florida, mocking his status as the “moderate” among potential nominees.

“When he was the governor of Florida, he threw an election for his brother, he threw black people off the voter rolls, he crushed the unions, he signed the Stand Your Ground law, he put the feeding tube back into Terri Schiavo,” he said. “This is what passes for a moderate in this party? Yeah, I guess so.”

Maher was more reserved when speaking of libertarian candidate Rand Paul of Kentucky with whom he shares some beliefs, but criticized him for pandering to the GOP base.

1. I guess that some day I will ahve to give up my hatred of Bill Mahr, but It is hard to forgive him

for Nader.

ETA and for actually giving Ann Couture a place to spew

[merrily]

2. I'd wait a bit before I picked my ultimate "are you fucking kidding me" candidate.

Republicans are very capable of producing even worse than Scott.

Not saying they will; just saying it's very possible.

3. Ted Cruz?

[merrily]

4. I'm cautious.

Maybe it'll be someone who can't name three things. Maybe it'll be someone who says "Freaky deaky" and has a long time mistress. Maybe it'll be someone who tells people he's hiking the Appalachian Trail, then compares himself to King David of the Bible.

I really don't know if they've given it their very best shot yet and, this is a one vote thing. So, I'm going to hang on to that vote until I'm sure.

6. rick santorum is reportedly warming up in the bullpen.

[merrily]

7. Don't forget to google Rick Santorum frothy substance.

According to Colbert, the more it's googled, the more it comes up when people google Santorum.

9. It also helps to hotlink.

Do it like this:

Rick Santorum

11. Oh man...

12. Good to know!

5. I like Maher, but he also is largely responsible for Christine O'Donnell and Sippy Cupp. nt

[merrily]

8. The clips of O'Donnell from his show were gold in the vault for Democrats though.

They showed her for what she was.

I am not an unadulterated fan of Maher, either. But those clips did not help her in the election.

[tblue37]

13. True, but I would prefer that idiots like her and Cupp not find the spotlight at all. nt

[merrily]

14. Would a Dem have won that election without her or candidate like her?

I'm not so sure. Since then, she's not been even Palin level relevant. So, in all, she may have been a plus for the Party.

I grant you, Maher probably did not predict all that when he started having her on, though.

[tblue37]

15. In her case it worked out OK, but we still see Cupp on Maher's show and

all over the print and broadcast media.

[merrily]

16. Yep. Sippy is a different story. Coulter, too.
