Maherisms

That's how you know America is a great country -- when your Supreme Court justice has the same backstory as your lap dancers.  Bill Maher

The last time Rush Limbaugh talked to a Hispanic woman, it was his maid getting him his drugs.  Bill Maher

If I wanted to start my day depressed, I'd watch 'Fox and Friends.'  Bill Maher

Americans will do anything to each other for money.  Bill Maher

They say, 'If only we had a government as good as the people.' Unfortunately, we do.  Bill Maher

Don't say we're all a faithful people...I'm a logical people.  Bill Maher

On Food

What happens on your plate represents your most important engagement with the natural world, and the biggest impact you have on climate change.  Michael Pollan

We learn how to make food that never dies.  Michael Pollan

If you had six months to live, you'd eat a Twinkie...and, of course, if you ate Twinkies, you'd have six months to live.  Bill Maher [to Michael Pollan]

By and large, we're eating sick animals... If the whole world ate as much meat as we do...we will need 2.3 more worlds to feed everybody this way.  Michael Pollan

On Republicans

Bush used the word 'evil' to describe anything he didn't like.  Michael Pollan

I think the way for the Republican Party to regain power, which I think will come soon, is to be the party of ideas again.  Fmr. Ambassador John Bolton

I think if [Reagan] was alive today, Rush Limbaugh would be trying to push him out of the Republican Party.  Bill Maher

On North Korea

I have faith in the North Koreans. I know that if you just give them enough time, they'll act like themselves.  Fmr. Ambassador John Bolton

One of the risks of the North Koreans having nuclear capability is that, you know, Kim Jong Il will sell his mother for hard currency.  Fmr. Rep. Heather Wilson

I think that the risk of proliferation of nuclear weapons is, in fact, the gravest threat that the United States and its friends and allies face in the world today.  Fmr. Ambassador John Bolton

On Role Models

I was fortunate enough to go to Brown and then on to Harvard Law School, because I had mentors in my life.  Hill Harper

â¬SI would suggest that all of us take pride in the fact that we have the Obamas in the White House. It's not just about black people/white people.  Hill Harper

On The Supreme Court

I hope that we have experienced, thoughtful people on the Supreme Court, irrespective of their race.  Fmr. Rep. Heather Wilson

I think the problem with Judge Sotomayor's quotation about the Latina and the white male shows that she doesn't fully understand her judicial oath of office.  Fmr. Ambassador John Bolton

The [California] Supreme Court here disappointed gay people, I think, who want to get married -- although I don't know why that's a disappointment.  Bill Maher
