HBO's Bill Maher is clearly getting tired of liberals.
On ABC's
Jimmy Kimmel Live Tuesday, he said of New York City
Mayor Michael Bloomberg's nanny statism, "That makes me want to join the
Tea Party and marry Ann Coulter" (video follows with transcript and
commentary):
JIMMY KIMMEL, HOST: Mayor Bloomberg is somebody that…
BILL MAHER: [Sighs] Ohh.
KIMMEL: Now, what do you think of his efforts to protect us from carbonated beverages and the like?
BILL
MAHER: I don't like it. You know, I think it gives liberals a bad name.
I really do. It makes liberals look like bullies who want to tell
people what to do. And they never met a regulation they didn't like. I
mean, obviously we do have a problem with child obesity. I don't want
our children to be 99 percent Mountain Dew. But this is not the way to
go about it.
You know, I mean, because, first of all, we all do something that
hurts our health, you know? We all eat stuff we shouldn't. Probably the
optimal food for primates is bread, fruit, lawn clippings and rain. But
at a certain point that gets old. And we just don't want, I mean, we
don't want to be a nanny state like this. I mean, you know, I don't know
what Mayor Bloomberg has in mind, but there's something wrong about the
seventh richest man in the world sitting in bed at night thinking, “You
know what people shouldn't do? Drink too much Sprite. Let's make that a
law.” That makes me want to join the Tea Party and marry Ann Coulter,
you know, and that's not where I want to be.
