âBill Maher stopped me out in the parking lot.â

Wanda Sykes says thin-skinned Maher was mad about her Golden Globes joke saying he should do âa little lessâ and confronted her about it outside saying it wasnât funny.
(Fact-check: many people laughed.)

(4,942 posts)when he asked if she'd be on his podcast and she said "absolutely not!"
One of my jobs involves monitoring and scheduling multiple tv broadcasts and CNN is frequently within eyesight. When they run that dillweed's show and I see glimpses out of the corner of my eye, I'm often disappointed to see people I respect on the panel. He's just a selfish pig.
A friend once texted me a clip of a segment of the show and I told him I wasn't interested because I couldn't stand Maher. Friend gets offended and said "way to keep an open mind." I informed him that I've been seeing Maher's comedy for over 40 years and even once attended a shooting of "Politically Incorrect" long before I stopped tolerating him.

(440 posts)a libertarian. There is no difference between a libertarian, a conservative or Republican. They are thin skinned and their fee-fees are always hurt.

(77,610 posts)...he is a small "l" libertarian.
He has made comments about the lunacy of the Libertarian party.
He donates to democrats & votes for democrats.
Like me, he's less party orthodox but is clearly anti-republican.

(77,610 posts)That's an interesting perspective.

(6,366 posts)He spent the last decade blasting overly serious people who cant take a joke. Thats what he is now - a whiny, entitled brat who cant take a joke and who constantly does the equivalent of woke-scolding every week on his show or his podcast.

(231 posts)miniature version of of John Fetterman. Two fools, who are betrayers of progressive causes.
FakeNoose
(42,896 posts)... which is pretty much the opposite of progressive.
I won't argue with you about John Fetterman, I'm deeply disappointed in him. He WAS a progressive until he sold out to Chump. Maybe his stroke 4+ years ago affected his reasoning ability, or maybe Chump is blackmailing him to vote R, I don't know. But I do know that he'll never be re-elected in Pennsylvania. I'm a PA voter and I supported him in 2022, and even before that time when he ran for Lt. Governor with Tom Wolf.
Not any more, none of the Democrats will vote for him again. The Repukes don't want him either, so don't believe the stupid stories about him "changing parties." It's not happening. He needs to resign as soon as possible and allow Gov. Shapiro to appoint someone who will live up to his (Fetterman's) campaign promises, because he's not doing the job.

(3,412 posts)I dont know what happened to him but he's just not funny anymore. He"s more annoying to me than anything else these days. Wanda Sykes, on the other hand, always makes laugh.

(20,999 posts)Is that hes an aging formerly liberal white guy who never got the credit he felt he deserved (which he has alluded to with the Emmy awards) and is aggrieved and resentful about all of that as a result. Hes also in his 70s now and probably knows hes lost whatever fastball he once had, which for someone in his line of work is problematic. There is a feeling of time having passed him by.
BannonsLiver
(20,999 posts)She was a semi regular guest on his show years ago but clearly, like a lot of people, has found his appeal to be very selective as he drifts to the right.
