2005

Political comedy about the Government (domestic and foreign policies), the president, the public's own ignorance and faults, and so forth.

Unlike a comedian like George Carlin who may go from topics in the 'big world' in his act to things in the 'little world' like spotting the random things in life, Maher is very much a comedian of the times, on the attack but clear about his political allegiances.
