Bill Maher's public service: Milo Yiannopoulos isn't ready for "Real Time" and it shows

Most people have no idea who Milo is, except that he claims to be "Dangerous." Friday night, Bill Maher showed them

Yiannopoulos came out quite saucy and self-satisfied —ain’t I a stinker? — so Maher, ever the comedy veteran, heckled him right out of the gate: “You look like Bruno.” Milo pouted, and then turned his exaggerated frown into a smirk after a beat. “You know I told [the make-up artist] to dial down the contouring.”
Despite their flirty greetings, Maher didn’t let Milo off easy. They agreed on a few things, like how liberals are too easily offended, but throughout the interview, Milo seemed squirmy, a bit flustered and obviously outmatched by his host, who wasn’t interested in gossiping about Lena Dunham, Amy Schumer and Sarah Silverman. Milo lamely joked they were funny before they “contracted feminism”, and dismissed most of Milo’s low-hanging outrage-bait as just kind of stupid.
Maher’s challenge here was not being cast as Principal Skinner arguing with Bart Simpson, and for the most part, he succeeded. “You’re wrong about certain things,” Maher tells him flatly, giving examples from Milo’s own spiels: “Black Lives Matter is a hate group. There’s no such thing as white privilege.”
Maher, a consistent atheist, also dinged Yiannopoulos for “bullshit stupid thinking” when Milo gave Catholicism a pass he doesn’t extend to other religions.
Milo insisted that he’s funny and that his jokes “build bridges.” All he cares about, he claimed, is free speech and free expression, which he described as “now a conservative position.”

He reminds me of a SNL character who I didn't think was all that funny either

I've looked up both words, and their definitions don't come close to matching the contexts in which they are used. I strongly suspect they are merely vehicles for columnists and commentators to appear smarter than the actually are.
And thanks for the greeting! 
And good job, your link works...
