Very funny.

High. Flippin'. Time.

The other thing they abuse "the French" for, of course, is losing to the Nazis. Dude, look it up: everybody lost to the Nazis except Britain, the U.S. and the USSR, and Hitler never even got the chance to invade the first two. If you're going to bring up WW2, you'll have to acknowledge that the real war was in the East, and the rest of the Allies were basically Stalin's little helpers. Nope, you don't want to go there, so lay off "the French".

Next time you'll enjoy a tong on a nice tong, think about us :P

How could he have missed President Bush's little sally as to the trouble with the French being that they have no word for "entrepeneur"?

The French Made the Concorde with Us Brits

i would add : "the French présidents don't have to explain to the court their sexual relationships. Actually French see it as a prouf of the good health of their leader !"

The French would not exist if The United States have not save them TWICE!!! Keep thinking you are the shit. Just remember who your daddy is

To be fair, the US would not exist if the French didn't save it first.

Hello,
This man is about as funny as a dead horse, and as stiff as one to. I really think he is not one to be talking about health care in France or any where else as far as that goes. This video post shows anybodt one thing, and that is people that do noit know what the hell they are saying get to run there dam big mouths on a very stupid TV show on HBO, and get away with saying idiotic things about America, and I think maybe the fool should move over to France and live out whatever time he has left on the earth in Frnce, and maybe he will be real happy there. He has a lot of rights here in America, and I would like to see what happens in France to his rights. The only thing about this fools show now that it is on HBO is that the BULL*&(& that comes out of his mouth is more crazier than before.

Thanks,
Larry Crumbley

Larry Crumbley,
How is it "idiotic" to say we should respect another country's achievements?

Posted by: Drew | Jun 20, 2007 5:21:58 PM

Drew, you're arguing with a man who thinks that no one is able to exercise liberal democratic rights outside the United States.

I'm not sure what is dumber...Bill Maher or the French?

Posted by: Michael | Jun 20, 2007 7:37:45 PM

ok then Larry, give examples of how Bill Maher doesn't know what he's talking about? you spend more time talking jibberish, than backing up your shit talk. i think Bill Maher is funny. his show is a hit on HBO, so i guess a lot of people would agree. go back to watching your Lifetime channel with the rest of the pussies.

I watch Bill Maher all the time. He and his writers are some of the funniest on television. I love his humor, and agree with roughly 90% of what he says. I'm not here to insult anyone, but people who accuse Bill Maher, or Keith Olbermann, or Bill Moyers or anyone that back up their claims with facts, of being left wing, calling them names, telling them to leave America, when all their doing is pointing out things that we should recognise to better ourselves as a nation. I love it when they argue that Bush is doing a great job, and then can't furnish me with a single piece of information leading to the great job that he's done. Oh, they say he has faith! Well, that's not enough I'm afraid. I love my country, as do most of the people that live here, but there is something really wrong with the Government's decision making for the rest of us. This does not make me a bad American. We need the Bill Mahers out there to point out issues that most of us take for granted. Let O'Reilly, and Limbaugh, and the rest of the common American rednecks try to badmouth others with the faith platform, or distorting the truth to mold it into some mutant reality if it makes them feel better about themselves. They are about as much fun to watch as Mr. Maher. Ofcourse for different reasons, but just as entertaining. Just remember what a WISE man once said; "If you argue with a moron, people won't be able to tell the difference"...
