Maher's a scab, no surprise to anyone paying attention to him.
- Yeah. He's also despised by most of his peers, so it's not like he can join anyone in raising money for his staff - like the daily talk show hosts who started a podcast to raise money for staff salaries.
  It's not supposed to be easy, it's a strike.
  Fucking Scab Maher, lol...
  
  He totally peaked in that House movie where he played himself.
I was really happy not hearing Maher’s name for, like, 2-3 months.
Dammit.
Bill Maher has been a sniveling rat for as long as I can remember so this tracks. Eat shit you fucking scab
Fuck Bill Maher
I'll take King's opinion over Maher's on pretty much any topic.
Cunt scab.
I wonder, he usually has guests, most of them are probably part of SAG or the WGA, I assume the quality of his show is going to tank (f on where it already was)
- This isn't the first time talk shows resumed without writers. The quality last time was absolutely terrible.
  The irony though is that last time it helped resolve the strike. Letterman, who owns his own production company, struck a separate deal with the union. That meant that his show was the only one with writers, and it put a ton of pressure on his peers. But most of them were large, corporate production companies, so they had to swallow terms they didn't like.
Man is afraid people will realize he's no longer relevant. In effort to avoid this, he gives proof of irrelevance.
- I highly doubt this. He gave a good reason to scab, even if I disagree with his decision.
  
  Did he though? I bet the staff wouldn't be struggling so much if he paid them more in the first place. Nvm there's plenty of other ways to help your staff as proven by others.

As always
- People’s role models are a direct reflection of themselves.
- Eh. I like Maher but I don't support this move.
