Bill Maher Ginsues Small towns and Sarah Palin
Bill Maher Ginsues Small towns and Republicans
Real Time with Bill Maher New Rules – 9/12/08
“New Rule, just because you live in the middle of nowhere doesn’t make you are more “authentic” than me. It just means you have a much longer drive to the airport.”
“Ever since Sarah Palin came along, this election has been falsely framed as a contest between “salt of the earth”, Small time Maverick Westerners and Snooty Eastern elites.”
Mitt Romney implied that “The East Coast is where all the Liberals, with all there bad ideas come from. You know, bad ideas like the Declaration of Independence and The Constitution and The Bill of Rights. As opposed to the brilliant ideas that come out of the West like Frontier Justice and wearing cowboy boots with a suit.”
“The ideas this nation was founded on came from the most Cosmopolitan people of their day, The Founding Fathers. Who believed in Science, who looked for Europe for wisdom, and had no use for ignorant hicks like Bush and Palin.”
“Cities are about diversity of thought, small towns are about, well, Crystal Meth!”
“The is so much Meth in Sarah Palin’s town, I am suprised she didn’t have a kid named “Tweaker”!”
I am going to see Bill Maher speak soon at a meeting of Democratic Heavyweights that I was invited to. Should be good.
The Rest is Up to You…..

Cities are not about diversity of thought. Diversity of race, height, religion, sure, but not thought. Almost everyone I know here in NYC hates Bush, hates Palin, loves Obama, only votes Democrat and does yoga. We have black liberals, white liberals, Asian liberals, tall liberals, short liberals, Christian liberals and Jewish liberals, but it’s still a hivemind.

@Ricky Raw–you need to hang out with a more varied crew. I’m guessing that there are some Wall Street players who loved Bush last week and will love him even more when he bails their asses out next week. NYC elects Republican mayors on the regular yo.

“The ideas this nation was founded on came from the most Cosmopolitan people of their day, The Founding Fathers. Who believed in Science, who looked for Europe for wisdom, and had no use for ignorant hicks like Bush and Palin.”
I’ve been watching Maher for years, and I don’t always agree with him, especially when it comes to religion.
He nailed this though.
To hear Giuliani call Obama ‘too cosmopolitan’, and used car salesman and former Mass. Gov, mitt romney, call out ‘eastern elites’ made me want to puke. I’m allergic to hypocrisy.
Is McCain still gonna take a ‘weed whacker to regulation’, Mitt?
Still think hes gonna ‘get the government out of business’, huckabee?
I don’t think I’ve heard a more powerful line out of Maher’s mouth than that one.
