Real Time with Bill Maher

episode 104
Premiered May 25, 2007
Guests:Ben Affleck, PJ O'Rourke, Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) and Michael Moore.

On Monica Goodling

Remember when Ashcroft was the Attorney General, and they covered up the statue of Lady Justice because it was bare-breasted? They literally put a drape over it. Turned out, that was Monica Goodling who did that. She just said that she found the whole idea repulsive. Not nudity. Justice. – Bill Maher


On Health Care

Why are we the only western, industrialized country that doesn't have free, universal health coverage. It's absolutely insane. – Michael Moore


On Iraq

I'm looking down there and there are just tanks and missiles and planes and more helicopters, and 160,000 American troops, and all the trucks and the missile batteries and stuff that goes with this. It's like wall-to-wall war, 360 degrees of war. War all the way out to the horizon. And looking down at this, I'm going, "Shit is it more expensive to steal oil than it is to buy it!" – PJ O'Rourke

We basically overthrew a secular country and formed a kind of sectarian religious warfare within a country. – Ben Affleck

There's one thing you must never, ever say about the Middle East: "It can't get worse." – PJ O'Rourke


On Darfur

The Republicans keep saying, "We can't pull out of Iraq because it could turn into a genocide." But there's a genocide going on right now they don't care about. – Bill Maher


On Edwards

John Edwards is a very serious guy who talks about poverty and has really interesting positions. And he does happen to look a little bit like a Buick salesman. So, that's what people kind of focus on. – Ben Affleck


On Blowback

I think it's been known for quite a few decades that our foreign policy has what the CIA calls "blowback." It has unintended consequences. You can go back to 1953, when we put the Shah into power, or us supporting Osama bin Laden and radicalizing the Islamics to go after the Soviets. – Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX)
