Bill Maher Mocks Texas Gov. Perry Over Evolution and Swine Flu
Mocking the stone age science at the Texas State Board of Education has now gone viral — late-night
comedians have the rest of the country laughing at us. Bill Maher de-pantsed the
governor on last Friday’s episode of his HBO series Real Time with Bill
Maher:
"He [Perry] appointed a creationist to head the Texas State Board of
Education, which is shocking. Texas has a board of education?!?"
Ouch.
And Maher surely speaks for scientists everywhere when he scolds Texas
politicians who had a sudden come-to-science moment last week when confonted
with the outbreak of swine flu.
"You can’t crap all over Darwin and stem cell research and global warming,
then come crawling back to science when you want Tamiflu."
Watch the whole embarrassing segment (warning: Maher’s language includes swearing).

Billy has the contagious virus going around MSNBC called the "Olbermann Syndrome." Maher's so called "comedy" routine never included a smidgeon of intelligence but now it's even worse, he now sounds like a cross between Mel Gibson and Keith Olbermann . As the syndrome progresses it will cause Billy to fall into the "Chris Matthews phase." This will lead Billy to start spitting when he pronounces certain words, it’s similar to Sylvester the Cat's lisp. Sylvester's lisp of course was much worse but at least the people he talked to stayed dry. The next phase is the Dylan Rattigan phase and he will find himself starting to spend time in Hugh Hefner's grotto and believing the women when they tell him "you were great" or he will start believing the info coming out of MSNBC. The last stage of the syndrome is called the Lawrence O'Donnell psycho phase. This phase will start with an eye "tremor" or eye itch, similar to the one that Inspector Dryfus had (Inspector Clouseau's enemy) in the Pink Panther movies . The angrier you get, the more it twitches. The more it twitches the angrier you get. And of course with this last phase, he will start believing the notes the Progressives have him reading.
