Bill Maher Makes $1 Million Obama Donation
According to his longtime publicist Sarah Fuller, this happened tonight at the end of Bill Maher’s comedy special CrazyStupidPolitics: Live from Silicon Valley which streamed live on Yahoo. Maher brought out a check and pledged a personal donation of $1 million dollars to Obama’s SuperPAC, Priorities USA Action. According to Fuller, he explained that having a country governed by Barack Obama rather than any of the Republican candidates is “worth a million dollars” and said “this is the wisest investment I think I could make.” He also encouraged other wealthy liberals like himself to do 
the same. Maher’s pledge comes at a time when Hollywood financial support for President Obama’s re-election has been ebbing rather than flowing.
Maher’s longrunning HBO show, Real Time With Bill Maher, is currently in its 10th season. Though his liberal views are well known, Maher tried to present panel guests of many political persuasions to voice a spectrum of views. In his nearly 20 years hosting political talk shows, Maher has earned 27 Emmy nominations but has never won in what is the longest such losing streak on record. Maher also has written 5 political bestsellers. He also performs at least 50 dates a year in Las Vegas and in sold-out theaters all across the country. So I guess this all means that Maher intends to make good on his political donation pledge. What this does to his ratings will be another story. But then HBO doesn’t depend on advertising.
Maher is a genius. those of you who are on the negative end of this rope of dopes go phuque yersefs. probably rednecks, or rich spoiled mutherphuqers get over yourself..whya re you not bitchin about the phuquing GOP screwing what little life there is out of this planet
Tuning in to commentary on the current political race is like playing Call of Duty online; both inspire all flavors of so called “conservative” mental midgets to proffer brainfarts that shamelessly display their ignorance. I prefer facing you jackassses on Call of Duty; at least I then get to laugh out loud at you after nading you in the face, virtually speaking…
THANK GOD FOR BILL MAHER AND HIS IMMENSE INTELLIGENCE [AND GENEROSITY].
Maher should move to his socialist utopia, Sweden, already.
Maher is a jackass. Obama has been a gigantic failure. These two are made for each other!
Spoken like a true liberal. One who knows exactly what people should do with their money, even your Democrat brothers.
The odds are now in favor that Obama will do a guest shot on the show before the next election.
I doubt even this will break Maher’s losing streak for an Emmy, but should guarantee his 28th nomination.
Good for Bill. Putting his money where his mouth is, and being transparent about it. In this day and age of elections being controlled by whoever has the most money, why shouldn’t he be free to support the candidate of his choice, and do it openly?
And his show is great, and whatever his own views, he definitely allows a platform for those who disagree with him.
You wouldnt see that Fred Flintstone look alike Sean Hannity do this for a GOP candidate, because he enjoys fooling his braindead audience into thinking hes just one of them. A guy who makes $12 bucks an hr instead of a 25mil a yr.
There was a survey that indicated that his viewers thought they were watching a news show. He appeared on Bill O’Reilly’s show and laughed about that and said it was not his fault, but it was not a news show. Shows how smart his viewers are.
