:rofl:

[SpiralHawk]

1. In spite of my usual restraint and dignitude, ROFLMAO

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Ichingcarpenter]

8. LOL.... yes great play on words and bats and shit and Palin

I like.

[October]

2. lolol!!! Hilarious quote, really! /nt

[Zax2me]

3. What else do you expect from a misogynist asshole?

BTW don't laugh too hard, he'll attack progressive women just a quick.

[spanone]

14. he's on the spot here, regardless or your opinion of him.

[pintobean]

4. I guess he has reason to know this.

[Logical]

13. ???? Maybe the lest meaniful insult ever. Try again. n-t

[pintobean]

17. Don't sweat it

It wasn't directed at you.

[scarletwoman]

5. Hey, calling a politician's kid "shit" is almost as classy as calling one "dog"!

Great stuff! :eyes:

[alphafemale]

7. Bristol isn't twelve and has chosen to put herself in the spotlight.

That cockroach is fair game.

[MineralMan]

9. She is a public figure, after all.

Or is that a pubic figure?

[alphafemale]

10. bushbaby is also the child of a politician.

At what point of publicity whoring do they become fair game then?

[Beaverhausen]

22. Bushbaby? You are aware that Brisol has written an autobiography, right?

and that she is a spokeswoman for abstinence, earning a quarter of a million dollars last year? And that she will star in a reality show next season?

Bristol should stay out of the kitchen if she can't stand the heat.

and who is bushbaby?

[MineralMan]

25. Who is "bushbaby?"

Is this something I'm supposed to know? I don't really follow celebrities, much, so you'll have to use real names for me to understand about whom you're writing. Thanks.

[alphafemale]

27. bush2 bushthelesser bushbaby chimp dumaya yeah. that un

[scarletwoman]

20. See, I just don't get the point of hating on Bristol because of who her mother is.

I know Bristol's no prize as sentient beings go, but she's not actually causing any harm beyond occasional bouts of mild nausea.

[MineralMan]

24. Bristol is trying to be a celebrity. Unwanted attention comes

with that trade. In fact, it's essential to that trade.

She has chosen her path in life, and will be subject to the same crap all celebrities put up with to maintain their celebrity status.

A "memoir" at 20? Really? A reality show? She wants the notoriety? Well, here it comes.

[alphafemale]

32. yep. Don't cannonball into the hottub and yelp about the burn in your orchid pit. nt

[Logical]

15. "kid"?? Really? n-t

[Mz Pip]

19. She's 20

not a kid. Not innocent either. I doubt she cares what people call her as long as the checks keep rolling in.

[tabbycat31]

28. anyone on Dancing With the Stars is fair game

[REP]

34. Bristol Cities* has written a book about her long, important life

She's not a teenager caught in the crossfire. She's pinned the target on herself.


*Cockney rhyming slang. Bristols = Bristol cities = titties

[MineralMan]

6. Poor Bristol. Picked on by that nasty man...

And she's an accomplished writer and stuff. Not many people write a memoir at age 20, you know. Shame on him! Shame!

[pintobean]

16. A piece of shit

calling someone a piece of shit doesn't impress, or amuse me. Good for you, if you're that easily amused.

[Logical]

18. Cannot wait to hear how Maher hurt your feelings. n-t

[pintobean]

21. Good

n/t

[MineralMan]

23. One entertainer trashing another entertainer?

Who cares. Celebrities all. I truly do not care about this. It's irrelevant to any damned thing.

I'm not really a Maher fan, and don't care about Bristol Palin in any way, except that I'd rather not be reading anything about another 20 year old spoiled brat.

Momma Duck Palin? Another nonentity, as far as I'm concerned.

So, what one celebrity talker has to say about another one is just bullshit, no matter how you look at it.

[backscatter712]

33. The people claiming this is sexist are really stretching.

They're desperate to cling onto something that would let them cry out, dive for their fainting couches and act all poutraged.

[rhett o rick]

11. Just wait until Karl Rove is directed to get Ms. Palin out of the spotlight. nm

[GKirk]

12. You DO realize what a creepy headline that is...

...don't you?
on edit: I guess she's of legal age so it's not quite so creepy, but still...

[LiberalFighter]

26. Generally shit doesn't fall from a bat unless a baseball player sticks one in it.

If from the bat that flies... I wonder how much shit can fall from it.

I think Bill got it all wrong.

[MineralMan]

29. Never been in a bat cave, I guess.

There's enough bat shit in many bat caves to bag up and sell as fertilizer.

[LiberalFighter]

31. Still requires a lot of bats.

[MineralMan]

30. This isn't the only time Maher has used this phrase.

He applied it to Rand Paul, too. Equal opportunity insulter:

[7wo7rees]

35. Best laugh of the night. n/t

[Taverner]

36. Now that Bristol has made the decision to be a public person - she's fair game

She did write that book about Abstinince, despite not having been - and then just remembered that she was "raped" which cheapens the accusation of rape...

No, she's fair game. Fair game.

Fire away

[GreenTea]

37. Real Time withh Bill Maher is the absolute best fucking weekly show & progressive show on televison!

Yes, it is you uptight, humorless, angry moronic moderate jealous FUCKS!

[LaPera]

38. You got it bro.......nothing else even comes close!

I watch the live feed or Tivo Maher's HBO show but I NEVER miss it!

[GreenTea]

39. I subscribe to HBO ONLY for Bill Maher's Show...... and.......

the funny & extremely liberal - "Curb Your Enthusiasm" (which begins it's 8th season on July 10th 2011). Only HBO' Larry Sanders has been better written, funnier & on the money in television (sit-com) history. (But don't bother with the final sixth season).
