Unethical Quote of the Month: Bill Maher

Vigilante commenter “A Friend” has now sunk (or risen?) to defending comic Bill Maher after supergluing himself onto the New York Times hill to die on, but undeterred or intimidated, I declare this latest from HBO’s manipulative hypocrite yet another “Unethical Quote:

“Let me tell you, folks, if the standards on the Left are going to be this high, and politics is going to be this much of a cock block, we’re never going to win elections or have any more babies.”

—-Maher, reacting to the season eight finale of “Love Is Blind,” the latest stupid romantic link-up reality show. A nurse named Sara Carton, bailed out of her dream wedding to a sales consultant at the altar, telling him that he just wasn’t woke enough.

Bill Maher is trying to suck up to non-Trump Deranged sane people and conservatives to salvage his HBO ratings and popularity, and here is another example. Who knows what Maher really thinks, or if he believes in anything other than his own career, how much money he can make being a public asshole, and still getting dates with attractive starlets young enough to be his daughters. Here was his whole lament, so “A Friend” can’t say I’m quoting the jerk “out of context”:

The season eight finale of “Love Is Blind”: The bride, an impressive, attractive nurse named Sara Carton, walked out on her dream wedding to sales consultant Ben Mezzenga. They were at the altar, all dressed up, almost to the part where they eat cake and do the electric slide, when Sara broke the news to her man that she just couldn’t go through with it…. it was because of Black Lives Matter. Because if there’s one thing we know about the young liberal women of today, it’s that they are very, very high in their standards. About everything….He never really thought about it. And that’s when Sara realized she’d rather die alone. It wasn’t just Black Lives Matter. Ben also didn’t have much to say about the vaccine, and his position on trans was basically, ‘I don’t know, I guess.’ How dare Ben not throw himself enthusiastically into doing The Will of the Party? Let me tell you, folks, if the standards on the Left are going to be this high, and politics is going to be this much of a cock block, we’re never going to win elections or have any more babies. This inclination from certain liberals to always and immediately excommunicate instead of communicate is what makes them so unlikable. The guy must also have a nice car and make over 100K a year. Okay, but you know, how many 6’2″ Grand Prix drivers are there? How are the Democrats going to blow it this time? This is how. Posturing, purity tests, the politics of ‘I unfriend you if you’re not exactly with me a thousand percent.’”

Bill slipped up, you see. He signaled to the seal-clapping woke fanatics in his audience that still supporting the racist, lying scam movement and organization Black Lives Matter is showing “high standards.” In fact, doing so is irrefutable proof that someone is either a bigot, a moron, a sucker, or a con artist. It’s signature significance. Saying you support Black Lives Matter is like saying that you think Harold Staasen will stage a political comeback, or that you’d bet on Joe Bidden in a “Jeopardy!” match, or that you are Marie of Romania.

When have “liberals” (the correct term is progressives, though that label has been so thoroughly disgraced that they may go back to calling themselves liberals again) displayed “high standards” lately? Nominating Kamala Harris to run for President is insisting on high standards? Tim Walz? Karine Jean-Pierre? Letting any illegal immigrant across the border is a high standard?

All Bill cares about is getting laid. He’s easily as much of a misogynist as Trump, and he proves it again with this rant. Somebody needs to tell Bill that if it weren’t for his car, his bank account and his expiring celebrity, he’d be relegated to the swampy side of the female gene pool. Women certainly aren’t attracted to his personality.

He also let the mask down when he said, “How are the Democrats going to blow it this time?” Blow what? They are at an all time low in trust and popularity with the public, and deservedly so. The Squad just came out with another demand for reparations. Sure, let’s transfer trillions of dollars based on race when the national debt is exploding already. That’s going to cause a Democratic resurgence for sure. Communists (Bernie, AOC), racists (Jasmine Crockett) and idiots (Walz) are the faces of the party. What is there left to blow?

I might be able to think of an authority less qualified to lecture on “standards” than Bill Maher, but right now I can’t think of one.

  1. “like saying that you think Harold Staassen (sic) will stage a political comeback”

    Okay. Cracked me up big time. But Jack, as erudite as it is, given the fact it’s got to be largely younger than those of us in the red zone, I suspect most of the commentariat will have to look that name up. Mabe I’m wrong, though.

    • Petty and surely irrelevant, but I noticed that Bill Maher pronounces erudite as er-ee-oo-dite… It’s like GWB pronouncing nuclear as noo-kyoo-ler.

      • Sounds like something they’d have Bugs Bunny say when he was out over his skis. Of course, Maher is a humorless, nasty Bugs Bunny.

        • I just watched (until I couldn’t stand it any more) an old “Murder She Wrote” episode in which young (but still hideous) Maher played a guy who talks his wife into helping him with a con. Bill had a career arc similar to Jon Stewart: he couldn’t cut it as an actor, so he used whatever acting skills he had to pretend to be a truthteller. Hey, it worked!

          • The mullet is what killed the episode for me. I finished the full series a couple of weeks ago. I found the first few seasons entertaining but got annoyed when Angela Lansbury took a break and we kept getting episodes with Keith Michel and Len Cariou. I really missed Cabot Cove after she went to New York part-time. By the end, I only watched for William Windom.

            • Once the show was established and especially after Angela installed her son as the producer, what used to be star-studded guest cast members descend to the B and C list—hence Maher. I do give the show props for having the new Cabot Cove sheriff who took over for Tom Bosley (doing the worst “Down East” accent ever) asking Jessica, “What is it with this town? I dealt with fewer murders in New York City!”

              • They were also trying to set up Jerry Orbach for a spin-off along with Michel and Len. That’s Angela giving her old Broadway pals work…it’s amazing to me that the show came out of the same group that created “Columbo.”

                • They actually spun off Jerry Orbach into the short-lived “The Law and Harry McGraw” – seems unavailable for streaming” – but I loved Harry’s character. He, like Grady Fletcher, eventually got ditched.

                    • Okay, I’ll grant you that Orbach was a much better actor than Michael Horton who, did you know?, married the actress who played his wife on the show and is still married to her.

                      But Ron Mazak as the new Sheriff Mort Metzger was a hoot. I did enjoy his reaction to Cabot Cove being the murder capital of the world.
