On Alternative Energy
All the money is going to war right now. We spent eight years wasting our time, not putting any money into alternative energy sources, because we've spent a trillion dollars trying to defend the scarce resources in the Middle East, which we've obviously made no progress doing. And that's the tragedy. We've just wasted eight years and gone ever closer to this cliff right now. – Jeffrey Sachs
On the Race
I like [Hillary]. But I've made no bones about it. I'm for Obama before her. But, I don't like it when people tell her to drop out. I may be turning into an old white woman, but that pisses me off when the Obama people do that. She's losing by a hair. – Bill Maher
It's fine for her to say that she has experience, but, like Arianna says, it's a totally different thing to say that your opponent is a liability who is going to, you know, lead Osama bin Laden to strike against the United States. – Matt Taibbi
On Intelligence
I was thinking, Bill, what's the difference between bad intelligence and gossip? It's like "He's got WMD's," and "I think he broke up with somebody!" – Garry Shandling
