Gotta qualify this from the beginning with the fact that I LOVE Bill Maher's show and his biting commentary. But my God, he's singing to choir! We. Frikken. Get. It!
Ninothemindboggler has yet another Bill Maher diary with his spot on and entertaining commentary: http://www.dailykos.com/... and I want to thank him for that.
And you know, that's just great! However, the problem is that his target audience is already on board. We get it and we love it but, he needs to address the larger, willfully ignorant audience that only listens to the mainstream media and AM radio. What would it take to clean up his monologue a little bit and go head to head with Limpbag or those other idiots at Faux News that dominate the radio dial? Trust me, their audience would eat it up if for no other reason but to call in with their dumbshit comments. At least THEY. WOULD. BE. EXPOSED. TO. IT! for the first time ever.
Seriously, I appreciate the occasional expletive deleted but he is wildly entertaining without it. Others such as Al Franken have tried but they don't have the quick wit or spontaneity to pull it off. Bill is a unique talent in our arsenal and he needs to get it out there. He needs to be on basic cable and AM radio and, I'm absolutely certain that the monolithic broadcasters such as Clear Channel Networks would pay as much, if not more for his programming than they are currently paying Limpbag.
His targets are awaiting...lock and load!
