Look Who's Keeping Them Honest

Bill Maher's Debating Tactics

If you think CNN's Anderson Cooper is "keeping them honest," you might be a liberal. In fact, you might be a delusional liberal. Of all people to ask an opinion on the GOP candidates for the 2012 presidential election, Cooper chose Bill Maher, a hard core liberal whose opinions are so far to the left, he makes Obama look like a moderate. Maher  has appeared as a guest on CNN many times and has even hosted the Larry King Show before it became the Piers Morgan Leftis Insultarama-thon.

In Cooper's interview with Maher, the angry, incredibly unfunny comedian was asked about his take on the candidates and said that if he had to vote for one, he would vote for Ron Paul. It figures.

Cooper then asked about his take on Weinergate and Maher, through the miracle of verbal ju-jitsu, said that Dick Cheney was "more psychotic than Weiner," evidently because Cheney had gone bird hunting, whereas Weiner merely showed his bird to young women on Twitter.  It was a glowing example of liberal morality and social networking for Democratic members of Congress.

To keep things in perspective, realize that Maher holds virtually no conservative values and supports issues such as: legalizing marijuana (you can tell he fires up just before his shows), legalizing prostitution, abortion, euthenasia, gambling, and same-sex marriage.  He supports the Kyoto treaty on global warming and thinks Al Gore is a genius, in spite of the fact that all of his Harvard scores were significantly lower than G.W. Bush's, and Gore had to drop out of Vanderbilt due to poor grades. But Maher cried at "An Inconvenient Truth," and can't wait for the sequel.

Maher was also a board member of PETA and it is likely that he gets along better with livestock than with most humans. In spite of this, many on the far left think he's a genius, like Rachel Maddow (rhymes with "Mad Cow") and Joy Behar, the braintrust of The View. The biggest surprise that Maher revealed is that he actually does believe Weiner should resign, but it's likely he feels this way because it's for the good of the party rather than any moral issues this guy could possibly have, in light of what he supports. (He even supported "Swift Boat Kerry" over Bush, but that's because neither Kerry nor Maher are "swift."

So CNN will continue keeping them honest, just as long as it's not them, nor anyone on the receiving end of Soros money, like, say, the Democratic party.
