Bill Maher on "Bittergate": "You know who is bitter in America? I am."

All right, the key point Bill Maher made this week was on "Bittergate," but I would be extremely remiss if I didn't mention his comment on mailing tax returns.

You shouldn’t have to pay for a stamp to mail your taxes.You are sending your money to the same people who sell you the stamp. It’s like a collection agency calling you collect.

Now, on to "Bittergate." I, for one, definitely am bitter. I believe that politicians are all elite. When proposing or signing legislation, they aren't considering the common man. They are considering their rich friends or rich corporations. Anyone who believes otherwise is foolish, fooling themselves, or just plain ignorant.

While Obama may have miswordeded his comment, he was right on in that if the common man is not bitter, he darned well should be.

Anyway, here's what Maher had to say (with some interjections by me):

Referring to voters who America has left behind economically as “bitter” isn’t an insult. In fact, it’s a compliment, acknowledging that they’re smart enough to understand what’s happening to them.

The hopeful, now those are some idiots. [Refer to my comments above. Look at what's happening in America and around the world, and it's hard to be hopeful.]

So – so, let’s separate the bitter – my people – from the idiots. If you think the Democrats are going to take away your Bible, you’re an idiot. If you think they’re going to take away your gun, you’re an armed idiot. And if you think they’re going to take away your gun and give it to a Mexican to kill your God, you’re Bill O’Reilly.

Now, at the end of last week when Barack Obama ignited the “bitter-gate” scandal, you would have thought that he had scaled Mount Rushmore, dick-slapped Jefferson in the face——and spray painted “God damn America” over Lincoln. But, he wasn’t lying. The truth is that religion and guns and hating gays and immigrants, are crutches that people lean on. So are fast-food, crystal meth and child beauty pageants, but we don’t have time to tackle all of America’s addictions in one night.

So, let’s focus on the big thing. That the people who claim to be the “non-elitists,” are the ones who constantly shift tax burdens from the people who fire you, to you. John McCain voted to repeal the estate tax, voted against raising the minimum wage, has no health care plan, and is fine with keeping the working class in Iraq for a hundred years. But, he’s a real “man of the people.” [He is so right on with this; does anyone look at the money and upbringing of most politicians and imagine they do not consider themselves elite? And compare that with the life of Barack Obama and his wife.]

And the president went to Harvard and Yale, and inherited your country from his dad. But, he’s not an elitist because he can neither read nor write. [Ha, ha.]

What does it take to label someone “elitist” these days anyway? They wear shoes? They don’t buy their groceries at the gas station? Their dog has a name and their truck doesn’t?!

You know who is bitter in America? I am. Because sh*t-kickers voted twice for a retarded guy they wanted to have a beer with, and everybody else had to suffer the consequences!
