Bill Maher had harsh words for President Obama in his latest installment of "New Rules," accusing him of caving to "crazy evil morons" and their paranoid delusions.
Maher called the White House "cowards" for capitulating to right-wing attacks on everything from end-of-life counseling to Obama's speech to schoolchildren to the resignation of Van Jones.
"The Democrats just never learn," Maher lamented, "Americans don’t really care which side of an issue you’re on as long as you don’t act like pu**ies. When Van Jones called the Republicans a**holes, he was actually paying them a compliment. He was. He was talking about how they can get things done even when they’re the minority as opposed to the Democrats who can’t seem to get anything done even when they control both houses of Congress, the Presidency and Bruce Springsteen."
Instead of trying to win over his delusional critics, Maher said Obama should instead "stand up for the 70 percent of Americans who aren't crazy" – the "sentient majority," as he called it.

Maher has a point, and it probably applies best to the end of life counseling. Dropping the request that kids write an essay about how they would help the president was smart and the Van Jones saga was not going away, there were just too many things that would have been difficult to defend.
Great to see Tina Fey get an Emmy award.
