This is a few days old now but I figured what the hey...Apparently Bill Maher has been slapped with a $9 million palimony suit by an ex-girlfriend (Nancy Johnson, a centerfold model and former flight attendant also known as Coco Johnsen) who alleges that the HBO star subjected her to physical and verbal abuse, including 'insulting, humiliating and degrading racial comments.'

Turnabout is fair play if you ask me. This is a louse that takes every opportunity to insult parents, children, those of religious faith and anyone with traditional values (Bill O'Reilly) and he deserves what's coming to him. A palimony suit is the sort of thing that happens when a person such as Bill Maher has no moral compass. Essentially, he whines about religion because he's an overgrown child who wants instant gratification without the benefit of community guilt spoiling his "buzz".
Bill Maher needed a good humbling. I hope when this smug liberal comes back next season for "Real Time with Bill Maher" on HBO, he will have learned from both the shellacking his side took in the election and from this palimony suit that moral relativity argument holds no water in this country...and eventually, you get yours.

What about the other "smug" Bill who was just slapped with a lawsuit? You know, the one with the "traditional values" whose own legal mess, luckily for him, got overshadowed by the election. So if you act like a jackass on tv, you get what's coming to you. If you act like a person with high moral values on tv, but are the opposite once the camera is off, then what?
I wasn't blogging when the O'Reilly thing happened, but here was my take on it: First, whenever the issue came up, O'Reilly was very humble, called himself stupid and seemed to have taken responsibility for whatever he actually did. It's still not clear how much of what's in the lawsuit was real and how much was either fabricated or blown out of proportion. Second, while almost anything said in the work place can result in consequences of some kind, if O'Reilly was attempting to cheat on his wife, as some reports indicated, then I believe he got what he deserved if not a whole lot more. I don't hold O'Reilly to any lesser standard then Maher. The difference I see between the two is, even if O'Reilly is a slime off camera (and I don't think he is) at least on camera he's trying to instill a sense of values of that's been lost in parts of America. Maher (in my opinion) voices opinions that are solely for the purpose of feeding his needs for instant gratification and nothing more...to whatever end for the country at large.
