Bill Maher, appearing on “Larry King Live” earlier this week, helps us understand the secret lingo being used by such geniuses as Newt Gingrich when they say things like “Kenyan anti-colonialist”:
Needless to say, Maher has caught some flack for using “The N Word”, but not a ton, since no less than Queen Sarah herself was so vocal in defending Dr. Laura Schlesinger a few weeks ago. Seems context really IS everything, eh?
Not in the clip, but quoted elsewhere is this remark from Maher about overstating American greatness:
I am not like Mitt Romney, whose book is called ‘No Apology, The Case For American Greatness,’ Really? You know always waving the big foam number one finger. We’re not number one in most things. We’re number one in military, we’re number one in money, we’re number one in fat toddlers, meth labs, and people we send to prison. We’re not number one in literacy, money spent on education, we’re not even number one in social mobility. Social mobility means basically the American dream, the ability of one generation to do better than the next. We’re tenth. That’s like Sweden coming in tenth in Swedish meatballs.
Mmm, Swedish meatballs…
