Pearls of Wisdom
The AP recently interviewed Bill Maher about his new half-hour weekly Internet broadcast, “Amazon Fishbowl.”
As usual, Maher’s political commentary was right on:
AP: How much do you think Ralph Nader is to blame for the current political situation?
Maher: I don’t blame Ralph Nader at all. Please. The people who are to blame are the Democrats for not having the Ralph Nader platform. Ralph Nader is right. I would welcome the Democratic Party co-opting Ralph Nader instead of blaming Ralph Nader. Ralph Nader’s big issue is that America, our democracy, is being slowly strangled by the influence of corporations and lobbyists and money in politics. And that is the root of all our problems. Nothing in this country ever gets done without somebody getting paid off. Everybody talks about how everything changed after 9/11. No, nothing really changed after 9/11. We don’t really have adequate protection of the homeland because it’s still a matter of pork-barrel politics.
