Bill Maher on GOP denial:
And finally, New Rule: Now that you've lost, Republicans have to agree not to waste everyone's time spending the next four years screaming for investigations of Barack Obama over made-up bullshit. Let's not kid ourselves. The hardcore Republican base is like a stalker; rejection just makes them crazier. You think Matt Drudge was a vindictive prick before? His headline Wednesday morning was, "Senior Citizen and Woman Beaten by Black Man." You see, because McCain is old and then there was the woman, and Obama is a black man. And wait till you see Ann Coulter's new book, How to Field Dress a Liberal.

You know, there's loyal opposition and then there's just opposition. Let's not do the '90s again, except for the part where we have peace and prosperity. You know, there was an entire industry back then dedicated to making Bill Clinton's life miserable over expensive haircuts and old land deals and the Lincoln Bedroom and getting blown. But this ain't the '90s. We've got two wars, a melting planet, and the only thing keeping the economy from total collapse is Sarah Palin shopping sprees.

So, you know what phrase I don't want to hear used frivolously for the next four years whenever Barack Obama forgets to put the kids in the car seat? "Disrespect for the rule of law." Dick Cheney ordered prisoners tortured by name. That ship has sailed.

I don't want to hear Sean Hannity say that, "Barack Obama announced that his daughters would be getting a puppy. A puppy from where? Probably a Chihuahua that came in from Mexico illegally. And how do we know this isn't a dog that pals around with terriers?"

You know, when Obama starts a pre-emptive war, and then f*cks it up, and makes torture our official policy and outs a CIA agent, and purges U.S. Attorneys, and tries to put his cleaning lady on the Supreme Court--and doesn't act on global warming, and appoints as the head of FEMA an ex-dildo salesman who was his college roommate--you know, that kind of stuff, believe me, I'll be with you. But, until then, I don't want to see Republicans freaking out if Obama isn't singing the National Anthem loud enough, or they find out he gets his suits made in France.

If he puts a moon roof in the presidential limo, he's not making himself Fuhrer; he's just trying to get the smell of stupidity out of the seats.

And, mostly, I don't want to hear about ACORN. Your guy lost by eight million votes. Just because you don't know any black people doesn't mean they don't exist.

So, that's it. No special prosecutors, no trumped up investigations. If Republicans really want to look into something for the next four years, my suggestion: try a mirror.

This will be fun to watch until the inaguartion, I must say! :popcorn:

4. His new rule about Joe The Plumber was the best.

New Rule: As his first official act, Barack Obama must raise Joe the Plumber's taxes. I'm not saying he should raise all middle-class taxes. Just Joe. Congratulations, plumber's helper, you're in a tax bracket of one. Complete with your very own tax form, the 1040FU.

5. You know it's coming, though
so we'll have to be ready to slap them into the middle of next week. Then kick their asses on Thursday.

They'll never learn any other way.

8. Now they want Obama ,..
to send his children to public school to prove a point to black people that he is sending them to public school. These are some desperate,silly,assed bastards. OBAMA DON'T LISTEN TO THESE SILLY MOTHERFUCKERS IN THE MEDIA! Blacks don't care if the girls go to public school and even if they did why should he they have been going to private school all along. The media is going to start this black/white shit on every issue. Blacks know that Obama will be the President for all people and its about SECURITY. The media is already starting with these non issues...

9. He must have seen Gingrich's talk on Cspan.
I've been trying to figure out how to say what I saw when watching that. Maher said it.

By the way, plan on being hassled overtime by the Assholes. Plan on it.

Also, this is why the Daily Show will never die. Republicans are a never ending source of irony.

12. Bill ROCKS!
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this week's Real Time is the season finale. I'd guess he'll be back in January. If he comes to your town live - check him out! I saw him in Akron, Ohio this summer and it was FANTASTIC!

16. So true, so funny
Republicons got nothing to offer but whines, corruption, bad ideas, lies, and fail.

20. "Senior Citizen and Woman Beaten by Black Man."
I'm surprised Drudge didn't suck down a bullet around 11 PM on the 4th.
