The Democrats and the teachers' union are way too cozy... It's a little like the Vatican -Bill Maher
"The Democrats and the teachers' union are way too cozy, and that nothing can be done unless the Democratic Party makes a bit of a split with the teachers' union and says we're not going to back you no matter what. It's a little like the Vatican."


More Maherisms:

"In Congress, the Republicans there, they also put down a last guard action. They put forth a lot of amendments to embarrass the Democrats...they put forth an amendment to ban the government from providing Viagra to convicted sex offenders. Like that was a big problem. The pope heard this. He said, You can convict a sex offender?'" -Bill Maher

"You're not a patriot unless even when you lose, it's still your country." -Bill Maher


"As you can imagine, the Republicans are taking the defeat well. About as well as Tiger Woods took to marriage." -Bill Maher

"Emergency rooms will be used the way they were intended to be used: not for primary care, but for when the average freaky American get some strange object up his ass." -Bill Maher

3. Oh yeah ... That must be it.
It's democrats that need to show teachers that they won't blindly support them. /sarcasm

in reality I think that it's the DNC that needs to learn a lesson before they have to find out what happens when teachers stop supporting THEM no matter how many times teachers get the shaft.

4. The teachers now...
I'm just waiting for them to come after the nurses and doctors next. After all, diabetes is rising, as is obesity, COPD, Congestive heart failure, cancer and people are still dying. We are obviously not being effective.

Maybe the government should just ban trans fats, pollution/chemical pesticides, cigarettes, soda pop and junk food/fast food and instead of mandating people pay insurance companies, they mandate exercise. I bet not only will people live healthier/longer, children's test scores will go up too.

I'm sure we'd all be up in arms about that too.

7. Aftra Maher
Billy:"The Democrats and the teachers' union are way too cozy, and that nothing can be done unless the Democratic Party makes a bit of a split with the teachers' union and says we're not going to back you no matter what. It's a little like the Vatican."

This proves, as if it needed to be, that this smarmy little punk has no idea what is going on today.

It would be so sweet if the Democrats would target AFTRA like they are the Teachers unions.
Little Grey Hair would likely switch positions like he switches hookers.
Because aftra all, who would want to be around him for more than 10 minutes.
Unless they were getting paid.

Bill Maher: Paid millions and millions of dollars a year for a few good jokes
and lots of divisive, frequently contradictory, and sometimes completely fabricated bullshit.

Teachers: Paid thousands of dollars a year to try to educate future generations.

What a country.
