Maherisms

Finally there's a comedian under fire for inappropriate remarks, and it's not me.  Bill Maher

In Iran, the women get to vote. And it's great, because they're already wearing the booth.  Bill Maher

There is now going to be a Chrysler Fiat...all the reliability of a Fiat, combined with the youthful appeal of a Chrysler.  Bill Maher

On Interviewing

I don't like the guy who begins the show and it's all about him. The show should be about the guest.  Larry King

If you're in this business 52 years, you've got to be doing something right.  Larry King

On the Right Wing

There's no one end of the spectrum that owns all the nuts.  Fran Townsend

It's all about guns and government and it is absolutely a right-wing phenomenon.  Chris Matthews

The right-wing radio has to take responsibility for creating a context of hate.  Ben Jealous

I don't think it's true, that all Republicans are racist...but, if you're a racist today, you're probably a Republican.  Bill Maher

We need more people in [the Republican] party like Colin Powell.  Ben Jealous

I'm happy to report, I am a RINO [Republican In Name Only].  Fran Townsend

On Judges

On a nine-person [Supreme Court] body, you want different people to bring different perspectives to play, so that their judgments have to do with the entire country and not just white men.  Ben Jealous

It's ridiculous to have judges elected.  Fran Townsend

On Transportation

You, too, would romanticize the car if you had gotten laid where I got laid.  PJ O'Rourke

On President Obama

I don't want my president to be a TV star. Because TV stars are too worried about being popular, and too concerned with getting renewed.  Bill Maher

We have a president who has made some very tough decisions. Call him a socialist or call him a communist when he's trying to save capitalism is kind of ungrateful.  Benjamin Jealous

You're confusing the fire with the fire brigade. Barack Obama is the fire brigade.  Chris Matthews

I'm glad Obama is president, but the "audacity of hope" part is over. Right now, I'm hoping for a little more audacity.  Bill Maher

On the Bailouts

This is socialism for the rich.  Benjamin Jealous

You've got to let failure happen.  PJ O'Rourke
