If religion is Bill Maher’s favorite target, the Palin clan is undoubtedly a close second.

So the comedian wasn’t about to let Alaska’s former first family off the hook for getting involved in a melee at a party earlier earlier this month.

“Now that it has been confirmed that the entire Palin family did in fact participate in a drunken brawl, Sarah Palin must admit that President Obama’s mom jeans aren’t half as embarrassing as her mom genes,” Maher said on Friday’s edition of “Real Time.”

Maher’s zinger was a reference to the former GOP vice presidential candidate’s memorable criticism of Obama earlier this year.

An eyewitness told TPM this week that Palin’s eldest daughter, Bristol, got “quite violent” during the tussle.

But if you think the former half-term Alaska governor is disappointed in her child, think again.

“I love my Bristol!” Sarah Palin wrote Friday in a Facebook post, describing her daughter “one of the strongest young women you’ll ever meet.”
