The clip did not show the very beginning of Ann Coulter,who thinks the jurors on the Casey Anthony case were ALL Liberal Democrats. Bill is right on the money!

How I adore Bill Maher, can not bring myself to watch that she devil Coulter.

Yeah, it annoys me whenever she is on his show. She said some crap Bill let her get away with. I've seen Bill challenge guests when they say something that is so obviously not true. However, Bill and Ann are good friends and he did not want to be rude.

Bill and Ann dated for a while. I think both he and Ann lost any credibility when they went on their Chicagoesque Tour together a year or so ago. With Coulter it is all just schtick. She says outlandish things, writes books and makes tons of cash. I doubt very much she belies have the crap she spews.

He's always spot-on. And he's fair; until Bush was out of office, he criticized him for rightful things. And when Obama wimps out on stuff, he's an equal-opportunity critiquer as well, and calls him out, too.

I don't see how he and Coulter can be such good friends, as she *is* the devil and they seem to believe polar-opposite things about life, let alone politics, but so be it.

She annoyed me last night with this annoying "aha-ha-ha, aha-ha-ha" laugh, repeatedly, at whatever was remotely funny, especially during New Rules. I was like "puh-lease, Sound Man, turn her darn mic down so we can hear HIM, not HER, trying to sneak in her own vocal stylings during HIS show!" Barf.

She also made some crack about "government workers are not getting laid off like the rest of us." "Rest of us" WHO, Ann? YOU? What is her line of work besides writing inflammatory books and occasional inflammatory talk show appearances? You can't get laid off from being self-employed. I realize she's establishment for some years now, but wtf did she do before she was this crazy media whore, to give her any credibility to become one in the first place? Just wondering.

I've also heard Ann is good friends with Al Franken. Not sure if it is true but I hear this rumor often. Bill has a lot of Republicans on his show. Andrew Brietbart is another regular on Real Time and so is Daryl Issa.Bill also seems to like Bill O'Reilly because he is always on Fox and Bill's show. I like how Bill can have these Republicans on his show but get annoyed that he allows them to say some of the things he does without calling them out 'just to be nice'.

She knows Al Franken. I have spoken to him after some of their "debates". I wouldn't say they are good friends. Ann and Joy Behar are also reported to be friends. Ann is an "act" a "schtick". Much like Stephen Colbert's show. Only she is a bit more incideous.

Both of them make my skin crawl, and I'm related to him!

Obviously I love Bill Maher. I think he's right about 99% of the things he says. On occasion he's gone even further left than I am, which is hard to do and I can't remember the specifics, but most of the time I think he's dead on.

And I know it's shallow, but Ann Coulter's laugh is almost as annoying as Fran Drescher's. The bit about laying off government workers (or not) really pissed me off. That's the kind of thing Maher should have jumped down her throat about.

I love Bill. He is funny and right on the money. Could care less what others say. Here is the beginning where Ann 'claims' the jurors in the Casey Anthony trial were liberals. She also said the jurors in the OJ case were liberals. Just don't ask her to prove it.That would be considered a gotcha moment.

I honestly think in her mind the word "liberal" has been juxtaposed with a curse like motherf***er - it doesn't mean what she thinks it means.

Coulter and Franken are not "good friends." He wrote about this in his book Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them. Apparently, she referred to them as being "good friends," when they had (at the time) only met once and briefly. His conjecture was that she claims to be friendly with liberals so as not to seem overly biased. They have debated since, but Franken has written several times that he has no intention of a friendship with her.

I'm not typically a fan of Maher. I don't think being right on the issues justifies the rhetoric he sometimes uses. That said, I pretty much agree with every word in the orignial link.
