An Inclusive Litany

7/27/01

Bill Maher, host of ABC's inappropriately named late-night show, "Politically Incorrect," interviewed on CNN's "Larry King Live," July 27, 2001.

Maher: I do think, if it turns out that this beautiful young girl is gone, I think, and he [Condit] is responsible in some way, you have to look to Ken Starr for a little bit of guilt.

Larry King: Why?

Maher: Because, you know, Ken Starr made it so that you, in the old days, you had an affair with somebody, and you know, okay, you had an affair. The press didn't report it. They didn't make a political criminal case of it. Now, its almost like you have to get rid of them.

[Ed.: Maher's comment is included here because, by his own design, one cannot be certain when he's being serious.]
