Daily Beast: Bill Maher Defends Hillary Clinton: I Dont Understand Anybody Who Hates HerAs for Hillarys numbers, which have gone down consistently since she began campaigning, Maher blamed the press. Maybe thats not her fault, he said. Maybe its the press, who has it out for herincluding the liberal press, by the way. Its not that she cant handle it, its that people cant handle it. People believe what they read, if they ever fuckin read.
Shes a talent-free hack! exclaimed Sullivan.
Shes not talent-free, Andrew! And shes not a hack! Maher responded. Why do you hate her so much? Were you molested by a real estate lady? I can understand you not wanting Hillary to be president, but I dont understand anybody who hates her. She is a boring centrist. It just should never rise to the level of hatred.
If youre asking me if shes a calculating politician, yes. Is that the most desirable thing in the world? No, he continued. But I live in the real world. Id rather have a politician who calculates than one who cant.

He is occasionally entertaining, but has no credibility whatsoever. Anyone looking to him for political insights has serious issues.
