Don't always agree with Bill Maher, but he always makes me laugh and he is always angry about the right issues.
New Rule:Stop Saying Iraq is Another Vietnam, it's Another Enron by Bill Maher. From The Huffington Post

James Dobson and pals are crying in their cool-aide. The Two Republican front-runners are not making the grade for the evangelical elite. Mitt does not believe in Jesus the right way and while Giuliani is pro Armageddon, a plus for these End Time, the former New York Mayor is not interested in nationalizing a woman's uterus nor has Rudy bashed gays. What kind of assholes are Dobson and his super secret club the Council for National Policy? They can not give support to any of the other hardcore GOP Christian candidates, like Brownback, because none of them even have a chance of winning the primary, so instead they are threatening to support a third party candidate.
