Cenk's book with calling the tea party protesters out for not protesting on Wall Street. In Maher's case it's military spending instead but it boils down to the same issue; why weren't you protesting when Bush was running the show if you're really opposed to what you say you are? I'd like to see more of that in our media and maybe some of them that call themselves "journalists" instead of comedians bothering to point out the "movement's" hypocrisy.
Bill's too much of a Libertarian for my taste but there are a lot of things we agree on. This was one of them. America's "big stupid boat" is our empire. Just lay off the "entitlements" criticism Bill unless you want to explain what happens to our society and our economy if we'd eliminate it. The richest among us can afford to make sure that those who are the most vulnerable don't fall into abject poverty.
