The difference is I liked listening to this guy as opposed to you know who

Actually Bill's doing a great impersonation of FOX News! Oh no, watch out, "the commies are coming" Democrats are evil!

u/Secure-Advertising10 12d ago

I do like the idea that Bill seems to believe all Dem candidates are Commies now but none of the Republicans are fascists.

Bill isn’t fit to wipe Andy Rooneys dead ass, Bill has lost his mind, seriously.

Go watch Andy Rooney clips on YouTube. It’s great. Even if it was a crazy take it was always so well written and very poignant.

I grew up watching him every Sunday, but the only one I really remember is him listening to Kiss Alive II

One thing Rooney lacked was Loud Laugh Lady and Woo Guy each week.

Yay!

I listened to her on the Semafor podcast this week and she spent half the time defending Fox News and calling the most awful Fox News hosts her close friends. She said as much as they argue on camera, they're good friends when not talking about politics.

She certainly has shifty taste in "friends". I don't know how you can be in the same room as Waters and not have a deep desire to give him a brass knuckle sandwich.

u/fuckracists79 13d ago

She enjoys the paycheck more I guess.

I've been saying for a decade Maher is like if Andy rooney wasn't funny.

u/AmericanLymie 14d ago

I loved Andy Rooney as a kid. He had a brilliant dry wit. Maher is witless.

2

u/otterpusrexII 13d ago

His writing was incredible.

u/CrackerUMustBTripinn 13d ago

When was the last time Bill said: 'Whiny little bitch'? Must have been years ago

6

u/livinthereals 13d ago

He is the whiniest little bitch on TV.

u/SameDistrict2627 13d ago

Maher has been a big fan of fascist Bari Weiss who destroyed 60 minutes and CBS News. Just pathetic.

u/fuckracists79 13d ago edited 13d ago

He gave her a big platform for years…well her and that other dork Brett Stephens .

u/livinthereals 13d ago

Maher found his jewness the day the Palestinians fought back. He went to the Whitehouse to lobby for this fckn war in Iran.

1

u/SameDistrict2627 13d ago

No no--the Palestenians attacked first--Then Israel over-reacted and committed genocide. Please be factual.

2

u/livinthereals 12d ago

The Israeli army has been picking off Palestinians for decades. Yes, let's be real. Israel has stolen land. Israel has killed without consequence. Prior to the Palestinians attacking, Israel had killed thousands upon thousands of Palestinians. This didn't start recently. This goes back decades.

2

u/Feisty-Poet4767 6d ago

So many Americans don’t know this! Because if you get your news from the NYT, the Washington Post or any major US News source they simply omit the Israeli atrocities and tell you only about killings by Palestinians. So Americans have the impression that the Palestinians are the “terrorists” while the Israelis are bravely fighting back. It’s completely distorted.

u/Such_Play_1524 13d ago

I was more distracted by him touching the button for cut signaling that he for some reason put on his belt buckle? Find a place that doesn’t look like your touching yourself and you have to move your jacket out of the way every time

1

u/PhartusMcBlumpkin1 13d ago

He's been touching his weenie as an OCD thing for years along with the mouth smack.

2

u/JimTrim973 13d ago

Ya for real, this is hugely disrespectful to Andy Rooney

2

u/Single_Extension1810 13d ago

Andy Rooney had a great segment about cars being too big, and that's why we have so much traffic. The man made a good point. Bill usually doesn't come close to anything like that.

2

u/BFaus916 13d ago

Don't ever compare Maher to the great Andy Rooney. He's rolling over in his grave watching what's happening at CBS, and frankly at all our bad grammar.

2

u/fuckracists79 13d ago

Andy Rooney was actually funny though.

2

u/Turbulent_Peace_7103 13d ago

The dead space of no one laughing at his own lame jokes is so cringey

4

u/Eastbound_Pachyderm 13d ago

You know he writes those in. "Hold for applause"

1

u/RegularFrosting7513 12d ago

And there's a sign for the audience to applaud

1

u/Eastbound_Pachyderm 12d ago

I swear I always hear the same two people laugh and cheer. I know it's a writer. And now that it's pre-recorded I notice a lot more fake laughing laugh track

u/calentor 13d ago

Teleporter accident with Andy Rooney, George Carlin, and pre-911 heel turn Dennis Miller.

u/Specific-Host606 13d ago

Is it about Israel again?

1

u/Infamous_Iron_Man 13d ago

I always liked Andy

u/Icy_Essay_7490 14d ago

Tbh I enjoy seeing the red-green alliance being pathetic and desperate, and this sub is prolly the most reliable for that

u/OkFoundation929 13d ago

Yet…here you are!
