Liberal comedian Bill Maher confessed that he’s not actually an atheist in a Monday Funny Or Die video.
He said that he just plays an atheist and is actually quite religious.
“Stephen Colbert is not really conservative,” he explained. “This is an act. This is what we do. This is Hollywood.”
He’s even friends with conservative Ann Coulter. But what do they do together?
“We pray. That’s what we do,” Maher said.
He did assure viewers that he does in fact smoke weed.
“I’m crazy, not stupid,” Maher said.
Watch courtesy of Funny Or Die:
The fact that mAnn is his BFF is quite disturbing. P. J. O’Rourke or Christopher Buckley as a conservative BFF I could understand, but mAnn?
I’ve been praying that Bill would start praying.
How can he spend time with Ann Coulter without a shield to avoid looking directly at her? I am assuming he smokes a lot of weed with her–he might forget to avoid her direct gaze and give a whole new literal meaning to the term ‘stoned’.
See this shed, out back here? The rickety shed that is entirely empty of any contents? This is the shed full of fucks-I-do-not-give regarding anything Bill Maher does or doesn’t do or say.
But isn’t professional political outraging a mode of spectacle which combines commentary with theatrical performance?, to borrow from Wikipedia’s language on a similar topic. Two performers can be friends, although one plays a face and the other plays a heel.
I can accept Bill Maher hanging out with Ann Coulter.
But for some reason if John Oliver were to confess that he hangs out with Ann Coulter, my head would metaphorically explode.
“This is an act. This is what we do. This is Hollywood.”
“I’m crazy, not stupid, Maher said.”
The current political acts are tired and stupid.
