Bill Maher seems like an asshole. "Sarah Palin is a stewardess" is a genuinely stupid and offensive comment, and counter-productive for someone who is backing the Democrat side.
Imagine, in Britain, a prominent Labour Party supporter calling a Tory candidate "a waitress" or something like that. It just wouldn't happen. Americal liberalism is a big confused ape. It doesn't know who it represents or why.
It just seems to me that the one thing that all mainstream political persuasions over there agree on is that the poor are despicable - its just that some of them are clever enough to use the poor to win them elections sometimes.
