    Who cares? Are you a member of the family?

    Maher is the TV version of a radio shock jock. He makes a lot of 'politically incorrect' jokes but occasionally, his commentary is insightful.

    Are you a member of Obama and/or Biden's family?

    It's a joke in that it's clearly hyperbole.

    It's insightful in that Palin was clearly unfit for High National office.


    The fact that I have to explain these things to you is proof of your [personal attack deleted]
    obtuseness.

    You said it so it must be right, pickle. I am stupid.



    And calling a family "inbred weirdos" is simply political hyperbole. Got it. Thanks for your help!

    I don't always like Maher's style but I agree, he's been consistent in his point of view on these issues and I think we need more people like that who have a platform.

    Thanks for the link soulflower.
