Chi-CityChica

I have to preface this post by saying I am NOT  a fan of Bill Maher, never have been, never will be. But I’m finding it so typical and ridiculous that even comedians who are known for taking digs at every president (some more than others…cough Bush cough) aren’t even allowed to go there with Obama. Why is HE so saintly and perfect that he is above all judgment, ridicule and even light-hearted jokes? God forbid you try to really nail him with a joke that hits at the core of the truth. Now even the leftest comedians can’t even try to dig in. In a comedy world, no one is above being made fun of, that’s how it’s always been no matter how much we all do or don’t like it. But not anymore apparently.

Here’s one tribune article with Bill Maher touching on the subject:
