Bill Maher has advice for values voters: pick Hillary
Late-night talk show host Bill Mahr had a special message for "values voters," on his program Real Time with Bill Mahr, broadcast Friday.
"New rule: if the choice in '08 is between Rudy and Hillary, values voters must do the Christian thing and choose Hillary," the comedian said to a spate of audience applause. "Of course, I think all religion is nuts, but at least she practices it the way Jesus suggested: privately - like a Dick Cheney energy meeting."
He added, "Plus she's raised an admirable daughter while Rudy's kids couldn't hate him more if they were New York City firefighters."
Mahr's observations came in response to the Value's Voters summit in Washington, DC where the Republican presidential candidates gathered over the weekend to vie for the support of the nation's evangelicals.
"It's kind of like a Star Trek convention only the virgins are angry and they think outer space is just a theory," Mahr explained.
The often-controversial host concluded by saying he found contradictions in the beliefs of the voters who claim they are so moved by candidates positions on social issues.
"It's almost like 'values voters' don't believe Jesus was right on anything," Mahr said, going into an impression of would-be attack ad on the Messiah. "Jesus Christ: wrong on gays, wrong on taxes, wrong on torture and wrong for America."
