More Civility: Bill Maher Calls Sarah Palin A ‘Dumb Twat’

One might think paying for HBO as a premium cable channel would entitle subscribers to high-quality entertainment selections. But for an hour Friday night, viewers were treated to a little misogynistic locker room humor with the channel’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.”

On Friday night’s airing of the show, host Bill Maher took a shot at one of the left’s favorite targets, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, by contemplating her reaction to the tragic events that have unfolded in Japan over the past nine days. (h/t Real Clear Politics Video)

“Did you hear this – Sarah Palin finally heard what happened in Japan and she’s demanding that we invade ‘Tsunami,’” Maher said. “I mean she said, ‘These ‘Tsunamians’ will not get away with this.’ Oh speaking of dumb twats, did you –”

Maher isn’t one to avoid crossing those lines and was rewarded with approval from his audience.

“I let the cat out the bag on that one, huh folks,” Maher said.

I am not a Palin supporter and am registered independent. I just cancelled HBO and sent them an email expressing my reasons for doing so. Palin is a public figure, but she is also a woman, a wife and a mother. It is inappropriate to refer to her or any other woman as a "dumb twat".

it certainly is in very bad taste to use those words no matter how appropriate a descriptor it is

He's a comedian, and it's a comedy show. Get over it.

Why is this guy on TV at all? Does he have a talent? Canceling HBO.

The reason the left wing insecure males attack her is because she is threat to their masculinity.

We make fun of liberals, and everybody laughs. We make fun of conservatives, and it's no longer funny.....my, how thin our skin is.

I wouldn't watch that Maher pos if you paid me. I feel the same about him that he feels about Sarah Palin, only more.

I do not condone the use of that word to describe any woman, including one I detest like Palin.

Rush Lumbag has said awful things about Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi and others, even compared Chelsea Clinton to a cocker spaniel when she was just 13 years old. How many of you wrote to get him canceled for attacking a CHILD?

Hmmm...crickets...thought so.

Self-righteous hypocrites.

It's HBO! Don't watch it.
Also, Maher was right.
