Real Time with Bill Maher

episode 61
Premiering September 23, 2005
Guests: Willie Nelson, Rep. David Dreier, Christopher Hitchens, Katty Kay, George Galloway, Andrea Mitchell

On Hurricane Rita

"There is another storm now, as you know, Rita, about to devastate the Gulf Region again. President Bush said our prayers go out, to the executives at Chevron." – Bill Maher

On Vice President Cheney

"The other event that has people on edge this weekend, Vice President Cheney will undergo surgery for an aneurysm. And while he is under anesthetic, a man named George Bush will be in charge." – Bill Maher

On the Jet Blue Emergency Landing

"We had a little disaster excitement ourselves here: The Jet Blue Airliners. An airliner full of passengers had to make an emergency landing because the landing gear got stuck, and the irony is, the crew said it could easily have been fixed if someone on board just had a pocketknife." – Bill Maher

On Foreign Oil Dependency

"We have two cars, my wife and I, that run on vegetable oil. She has a Volkswagen. I have a Mercedes. They've never had anything in them expect 100% vegetable oil. Our bus is run on 100% soybeans. So there's no reason for us to be so dependent on foreign energy." – Willie Nelson

On Margaret Thatcher

"In the 20 years or so I've been in the House of Commons, by far the best performer at Prime Minister's Questions, was Mrs. Thatcher, who more than half of the country hated. But she could wipe the floor with the opposition leader before breakfast." – George Galloway

ON American Leadership

"In this country, a smart leader is suspect. That's just the way it is. Even George Bush's father, who was a lot smarter than the son, had to sort of prove that he wasn't that bright." – Bill Maher

On Critiquing the U.S.

"We're not running our country down when we criticize it. We're trying to make it better." – Bill Maher

ON GEORGE BUSH

"His eyes are so close together he could use a monocle." – Christopher Hitchens

"Christians believe in the Prophets, peace be upon them. Bush believes in the profits and how to get a piece of them." – George Galloway
