Video - Tonight Show: Bill Maher comments on Rove leak, Roberts and more

Maher on Rove: "It's easy to simplify it and just say that Karl Rove is a vicious cut-throat character assassin and that's not true.... he's also a beety-eyed doughy amoral putz."

Maher on Roberts: "This guys underwear is filled with warm mashed bananas. "

21. This was posted last night...info on the ex-wife of the ob/gyn B* appointe

who couldn't 'find his wife's Vagi__!'

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x4200155
Gabi Hayes started this thread last night on GD, and researched the Ob/Gyn and posted the following!

"Maher brought up Dr. David Hager, pRes. Dumbass's appointee to the Advisory Committee for Reproductive Health Drugs in the Food and Drug Administration

how many of you have heard about THIS:"

.....Hager cast himself as a victim of religious persecution in his sermon. "You see...there is a war going on in this country," he said gravely. "And I'm not speaking about the war in Iraq. It's a war being waged against Christians, particularly evangelical Christians. It wasn't my scientific record that came under scrutiny . It was my faith.... By making myself available, God has used me to stand in the breach.... Just as he has used me, he can use you."

Up on the dais, several men seated behind Hager nodded solemnly in agreement. But out in the audience, Linda Carruth Davis--co-author with Hager of Stress and the Woman's Body, and, more saliently, his former wife of thirty-two years--was enraged. "It was the most disgusting thing I've ever heard," she recalled months later, through clenched teeth.

According to Davis, Hager's public moralizing on sexual matters clashed with his deplorable treatment of her during their marriage. Davis alleges that between 1995 and their divorce in 2002, Hager repeatedly sodomized her without her consent. Several sources on and off the record confirmed that she had told them it was the sexual and emotional abuse within their marriage that eventually forced her out. "I probably wouldn't have objected so much, or felt it was so abusive if he had just wanted normal sex all the time," she explained to me. "But it was the painful, invasive, totally nonconsensual nature of the sex that was so horrible."

Not once during the uproar over Hager's FDA appointment did any reporter solicit the opinion of the woman now known as Linda Davis--she remarried in November 2002 to James Davis, a Methodist minister, and relocated to southern Georgia--on her husband's record, even though she contributed to much of his self-help work in the Christian arena (she remains a religious and political conservative). She intermittently thought of telling her story but refrained, she says, out of respect for her adult children. It was Hager's sermon at Asbury last October that finally changed her mind. Davis was there to hear her middle son give a vocal performance; she was prepared to hear her ex-husband inveigh against secular liberals, but she was shocked to hear him speak about their divorce when he took to the pulpit.

2. Rove always did remind me of the Pillsbury dough boy

and Roberts has this glassy eyed face and smile that makes you wonder if he truly is human and capable of thought.

13. Leno was squirming on this one, wasn't he?

I was wondering if one was allowed to say the V word on national television anymore and thought they'd pull the plug on Maher at any moment.

The Return of Real Time:
Real Time with Bill Maher returns from hiatus - Friday, August 19 at 11 pm.
http://www.hbo.com/billmaher/?ntrack_para1=leftnav_category0_show9


The Book:
His new book, the first since his best selling When You Ride ALONE You Ride with bin Laden, brings these brilliantly conceived riffs and rants to the written page. Appropriately titled New Rules, the book will collect some of the best of the rules derived from previously written material and will also contain substantial new material, including some longer form "editorials"--of course with a twist and bite that only Bill Maher can deliver.

22. Thanks For The Reply..,

I was just at my acupuncturist and was thumbing through UTNE and they had an article on Maher in it. I didn't get to finish it, but did read about his new book.

I'm sure it's going to be something I want to read. And I belong to Barnes & Noble, so that helps too.

Thanks again.

I loved that Leno was actually honest, when Maher called him on his book deflection. "Because I don't want to talk about the anal rape anymore!" LOL

Then Maher follows up with: "I did mention warm, mashed banana's didn't I?" ROFL
