Bill Maher gets 'Religulous' over Sarah Palin!
The Dish Rag ran into Bill Maher at a screening of his new film "Religulous."
The film is directed by "Borat" director Larry Charles.
We wanted to know Maher's take on Gov. Sarah Palin, her religious beliefs and how will that play into the religious right voting for McCain.
How much does he need that vote? Is Palin a ploy to get that vote and then will he shut her up for the next four years?
Or could she (shudder) end up being president?
"If McCain wins the White House, it's going to be because of Sarah Palin's vast army of religious lunatics that got him there -- and then they will own him," Maher, never one to mince words, said. "And then he'll die. And then she'll be president.
"So this is really the time for my rationalist friends to stand up, speak up and take our country back from the forces of organized superstition. God help this country if Palin ever got into any kind of position of power.
"She's completely and utterly unqualified in every way."
Gee, Bill. Tell us how you really feel.

Palin has the nerve to talk about Obama - when she infact is one step away from being a felon. Troopergate, tax evasion, witchcraft. This is the best John McCain could do????
What a mixed up kook. He's woried " the forces of organized superstition" and so who does he want to help??? "God help this country if Palin ever got into any kind of position of power" Sounds a little mixed up to me.
Bill is a great comedian, but his political views are just as radical as those on the far right that he constantly bashes. There is NO politician that comes without baggage. Sarah Palin is just as qualified as Joe Biden... at least she has executive experience and not just age in her corner.
Sarah Palin is a big joke. I simply cannot believe that McCain would pick her except in an emergency! He must be terrified at losing AGAIN that he would pick a big mouth like Ms Palin who should stay home and look after her children that need her as one has Down's syndrome and the oldest is pregnant. This should tell you something about what her priorities are!!
I received a forwarded email, circulating the evangelical circles, that a pastor in Lebanon, Ohio had a divine revelation from God, TELLING him that Sarah Palin was GOD'S choice for this hour...a prophetess for these final days, and she is to be like Queen Esther of the Old Testament...and will save the U.S. Apparently, he met her (along with McCain) in Lebanon, Ohio, and told Sarah this, and she was moved to tears, and thanked him for this prophecy.
If the owners of this blog are interested in having me forward it to you with telephone numbers and all, you can let me know by email. I think this is very scary indeed. Imagine if the tables were turned and some pastor had spoken these words over Barack Obama....John McCain and Sarah would be going crazy, and Sean Hannety's head would be spinning around 360 degrees in overdrive, and pea soup would come spewing out of his mouth!!!
I do believe in God, by the way, but I am VERY scared of McCain, who is a hothead, and Sarah Palin, who is getting too empowered for her britches. Now she's even contradicting McCain...she's a know-it- all, and a climber, and I don't want a SIX PACKER as president.
We are just getting rid of SIX PACKER!!! The guy most likely voted that you would want to have a beer with. If I saw humility in Sarah, it would be a step in the right direction. But she is out of control!!! Common, you simpletons in America. Pull the wool off your eyes!!!
Bill's got it right. Palin is an unfunny joke. She's clueless AND ambitious. Twice she's referred to the "Palin and McCain administration". McCain won't last long if they manage to get elected. They're trying to keep the Troopergate report from coming out, so they've got a lot to hide. She's corrupt, clueless and dangerous for the nation. She's not fit to govern Alaska.
She is completely and utterly unqualified in every way. Simply put, and I couldn't agree more. She was picked because she's a woman, not that she's an appropriate candidate for the position. Bill's views are radically left, I'll admit that. But as a self-labeled moderate, I tend to agree with him.
There's not enough or taxx system to do all this. What Next? More taxes or **** the poor? Interesting!
What a waste!
Maher is not even a comedian .He is idiot jerk !! He is the most obnoxious fool on the planet!
Obama is less qualified than Palin ! Democrats must be fools!
