Who's comments were deplorable? Bill Maher's or Don Imus's?

[nkpolitics1212]

Bill Maher accidently or purposely used the N-word on his HBO show couple of days ago.
Don Imus made a joke about about the players at the Rutger's Women Basketball team a decade ago, his show on MSNBC went off the air and was replaced by Morning Joe.

1. Since Maher was referring to himself that should be an easy one

[LOL Lib]

3. Exactly. I wouldn't be surprised if somebody alerts on us though.

Next you will get accused of being a RW troll for daring to have an opinion about the use of the nword by a comedian

5. I read it as "more deplorable"

Which Imus' clearly was. Then you get to the men themselves and it's really no contest.

2. Interesting, though HBO and MSNBC are a little bit different animals.

I don't like Bill Maher. He was part of a series I had tickets to years ago and every other show was terrific (Al Franken and Molly Ivins, Michael Moore, that kind of stuff). Maher was terrible. He was so foul-mouthed and told so many potty jokes that everyone was cringing in embarrassment with the sole exception of two teenaged boys right in front of us. They were maybe fourteen and they laughed uproariously at everything and that's when I decided Maher's humor pretty much has its audience in 14-year old boys.
