Are you in need of a quick "Pick me UP"? Here it is!

Although most may have seen this already,
This is how Bill Maher ended his show the other day.

I LOVED IT! :thumbsup:

"Mr. President, this job can't be fun for you any more.
There's no more money to spend--you used up all of that.
You can't start another war because you used up the army.
And now, darn the luck, the rest of your term has become
the Bush family nightmare: helping poor people.

Listen to your Mom. The cupboard's bare,
the credit cards maxed out.
No one's speaking to you.
Mission accomplished.

"Now it's time to do what you've always done best: lose interest
and walk away.
Like you did with your military service
and the oil company
and the baseball team.
It's time.

Time to move on and try the next fantasy job.
How about cowboy or space man?

Now I know what you're saying: there's so many other things
That you as President could involve yourself in.
Please don't. I know, I know. There's a lot left to do.
There's a war with Venezuela.
Eliminating the sales tax on yachts.
Turning the space program over to the church.
And Social Security to Fannie Mae.
Giving embryos the vote.

"But, Sir, none of that is going to happen now.
Why? Because you govern like Billy Joel drives.
You've performed so poorly I'm surprised that you haven't
given yourself a medal.
You're a catastrophe that walks like a man.
Herbert Hoover was a shitty president, but even he never
conceded an entire city to rising water and snakes.

"On your watch, we've lost almost all of our allies,
the surplus,
four airliners,
two trade centers,
a piece of the Pentagon
and the City of New Orleans.

Maybe you're just not lucky.
I'm not saying you don't love this country.
I'm just wondering how much worse it could be
if you were on the other side.

"So, yes, God does speak to you.
What he is saying is: 'Take a hint.' "

2. We watched this last Friday night when it first aired.

Bill Maher has just the right mixture of seriousness and frolic.

We love his show!

4. Bill's off target at times, but this was good!

Thanks for sharing!

[FrenchieCat]

6. Agreed....

But yes...this may have been his finest closing statement!

[applegrove]

5. Yes someone posted it the other day. He is right on. Much needed

laughter. At the situation we are in.

7. It was a good show--Plan to watch again, just for George Carlin's

comments. Totally worth sitting through it again!

Thanks for sharing this!

[FrenchieCat]

9. Yep....Carlin was dead on.......

Calling it like it truly is.

Blustering GOP boy was really in a hard place!

[bliss_eternal]

13. I SO did NOT feel sorry for him.

He was so typical, defending their most obvious oversights, just pathetic. Even when he attempted to criticize the GOP, it sounded more like a commercial FOR not against them.

:eyes:
Then he said he was Libertarian?! Go figure...

[Lecky]

8. That was pretty brutal...

good for him!

[silverojo]

10. I just forwarded this to all the Dems I know.

:headbang:

[giant_robot]

11. Thanks for giving me an idea...

...I'm going to forward it to all the republicans I know. :evilgrin:

[fooj]

12. Thanks for posting this...one of his best shows this year!

Peace.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

14. A great satirical rant. Needed to be said. Thanks!

[teryang]

15. How much worse could it be?

Bushco is the other side.
