.. of Lies Last week, in those halcyon days before 6/30 Changed Everything, I took Ann Coulter s side in a partisan pissing match.
Basically, Coulter refused to walk back her faggot insult of John Edwards in an interview with Chris Cuomo. One of her reasons was that about the same time [as my joke] Bill Maher was not joking and saying he wished [Vice President] Dick Cheney had been killed in a terrorist attack. I figured it was fair for Coulter to say that and unfair for Elizabeth Edwards to Dowdify her quote and attack her with it.
But Maher never wished upon a star and crescent and never said Cheney should die. Here s the transcript of the show, where Maher clearly 1)defends a dude in a blog comment thread who said that without endorsing the comment and 2)proposes that if Dick Cheney wasn t in office, or was dead, fewer people would die. Here s how he defended the commenter: MAHER: What about the people who got onto the HuffingtonPost - and these weren t even the bloggers, these were just the comments section - who said they - they expressed regret that the attack on Dick Cheney failed.
