Reply #10: Maher has always been all over the map politically

[Warpy]

and maybe he had a hot date with Coulter that night <shudder>.

He also seems to get a charge out of playing devil's advocate with both sides.

Personally, I always found it politic to take him with a very large pinch of salt, no matter what he was saying. I will always remember my favorite show of his, on the old PI, when he spent the entire show holding hands very sweetly with the latex sex doll.

His show is still one of the few where anyone to the left of Hitler isn't shouted down, confronted with a disconnected microphone, or expected to agree with the right wingers by the end of the show.
