Over the course of time, I've seen Bill Maher devolve into a "grumpy old east-coast jew" or worst yet; a pathetic version of Dennis Miller - a true no-talent hack and someone NOT funny ... !! -
I believe this is best demonstrated by the less then humorous writing and out of date POV comments, the generally poor, same-old, same-old guest list. I never have to see / hear anything buffoonish Andrew Sullivan has to say again!!
If this were a clown-show, I could appreciate it more! But, it's supposedly programming meant to appeal to insightful discussion and irony.
Unfortunately, the host and the content no longer are up to the job ... !!
