In recent years, a few teenage right wingers have gained some nototriety - Jonathan Krohn and Caiden Cowger chief among them - and Bill Maher closed tonight's Real Time with a rant that began with them. Simply put: if a teenager can perfectly deliver your message, there's something wrong with that message.
On tonight's Real Time, Bill Maher offered some advice to the Occupy Movement: get organized and take it to the next level. Maher wants, and believes it to be possible, that with the right moves, the Occupy Movement can be as important for driving Democratic ideology as the Tea Party is for the Republicans.
On tonight's Real Time, Bill Maher closed with a rant about the claim that President Obama is radical in his views. It makes little sense to Maher that the right has such a problem with Obama when Obama hasn't exactly been the bastion of liberal ideology some thought he would be.
It's graduation time and that means various notables are giving commencement addresses like nobody's business. Last week, Mitt Romney spoke at Liberty University, which provided Bill Maher with a jumping off point on tonight's Real Time. I know this is gonna shock you, but Maher isn't a big fan of any part of it.
It's become clear that Joe Biden going off script during last week's appearance on Meet the Press accelerated President Obama's statement on gay marriage, which is fine by Bill Maher. On tonight's Real Time, Maher made a plea for more of Biden's gaffes, so long as they lead to Democrats saying what they actually…
On tonight's Real Time, Bill Maher closed with rant about the state of our country's political discourse. "The only politics we understand is scandal," he said, "and the only scandal we understand is sex." Maher recounted many politicians who are not held accountable for their lies until those lies involve sex. It all…
Bill Maher closed tonight's Real Time with a rant about how the GOP has begun to politicize issues for no other reason than being reactionary. He cited pink slime, the environment and Rick Santorum's opposition to college as evidence that the GOP isn't interested in much besides saying no to what they deem the liberal…
Earlier this week, Miami Marlins manager Ozzie Guillen was suspended five games by the club for his comments about the longevity of Fidel Castro.

On tonight's Real Time, Bill Maher talked a little about the current cycle of statement and apology that we've been dealing with. In his view, we need to let people say the ridiculous shit that we can't stand because if we don't, then we will be nothing but a nation of Mitt Romneys consistent only in our desire to…
As Bill Maher put it on tonight's Real Time, making Kony famous without bringing him to justice isn't enough. By just making him famous, we put him on the regular celebrity track in this country which includes getting his cell phone hacked, hooking up with other celebrities and eventually getting into politics.
Bill Maher ended tonight's episode of Real Time with a speech inspired by Rick Santorum's recent comments about the ills of college, and therefore knowledge. As with most things Santorum, and Maher for that matter, it cycles back to religion.
On tonight's Real Time with Bill Maher, Maher ended his show with a short rant about the bubbles that both sides of the political aisle live in.

At the tail end of tonight's Real Time, Bill Maher took a moment to ruminate on the way conservatives treat President Obama, whether it is heckling him during the State of the Union address or, more recently, Governor Jan Brewer throwing her finger in his face and then saying she felt threatened. Maher believes that…
While two Real Time with Bill Maher panel guests got flak today for making sexually charged jokes about Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum on last night's show, it seems nobody batted an eye at the anti-Bachmann, anti-Sarah Palin rant with which Maher ended the broadcast. Until now, at least.
On last night's Real Time, Bill Maher said a lot. He made fat jokes about secret-hoarding New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, compared Michele Bachmann to Sarah Palin, took a final taste of Weiner, and more. But none of that matters, because this clip—which features Maher's joyously jarring 30-second summation of HLN…
After confessing on Monday that he tweeted a picture of his penis, Anthony Weiner's online dirty laundry quickly piled up. And on tonight's Real Time, Bill Maher and Jane Lynch gave one such piece of it—Weiner's X-rated Facebook exchanges with Vegas blackjack dealer Lisa Weiss—the dramatic reading it deserved. The…
Since retiring from his CNN show in December, cuddly curmudgeon Larry King has written a book, embarked on a stand-up comedy tour, and even hawked breath mints, so it was no surprise that he found the time to show up on the panel of last night's Real Time with Bill Maher. And in true old-man style, King had one…
When Bill Maher brought up Senator Jon Kyl's intentionally false statement about Planned Parenthood's propensity to perform abortions on last night's Real Time, panelists Ed Schultz and Michael Steele disagreed with each other about the egregiousness of Kyl's fib. It was contentious, yes, but boy oh boy was that…
