Bill Maher sincerely believes you shouldn’t be insulting to six million dead Jews unless any of them believed anything or were sincere about anything or had any beliefs he didn’t like.
If you don’t know: Bill Maher had dinner with Trump and had nice things to say about Trump’s social skills and table manners. Which led Larry David to pen a satirical op-ed for the NYT about “My Dinner With Adolf.” Which Mr. Maher did not take kindly to:
“First of all, it’s kind of insulting to six million dead Jews,” Maher told Piers Morgan in an interview on the set of Maher’s podcast. “It’s an argument you kind of lost just to start it. Look, maybe it’s not completely logically fair, but Hitler has really kind of got to stay in his own place. He is the GOAT of evil. We’re just going to have to leave it like that.”Popehat still wins. Maybe you don’t lead with the “6 million dead Jews” card? Especially if you’ve spent decades building your own glass house. It’s a pretty sanctimonious redoubt for a guy who’s made a career of mocking the sacred.
He going to go after Mel Brooks next? Are there any more thin skinned than the nothing-sacred iconoclasts? Larry David hit the target, apparently.
