like they will say, yeah, bill maher nailed it last night he is super smart. then he says you guys like that guy? and he goes obama is kicking ass. you think he is doing a good job? they are a wake up call for the radical liberal nut bars. the fact -- thought we were on the same page with global warming. they were humiliated and i didn't even tease them. >> the flat line in the last 15 years and the future flat line of 15 years says, you know what -- maybe we need maury search. i won't even pound them on it. >> once it all came out and realized they were wrong i never said hahaha. then you go to l.a. and they say it is still going strong. in fact, we are winning so much we are sick of you naysayers. okay, we are naysayers now. i feel sorry for them. >> is this fair? imagine he used the same policy about religion. the newspaper would go nuts and people would go crazy. >> i think this move on climate change is unnecessary. it is like taking something you definitely know and like you said just beating it to death. religion is a whole different thing. there saw lo
