People are getting stupider.
The National Enquirer is always right.
Howard Stern should get over himself.
Fame is the worst drug.
These and countless other strident assertions are contained in Does Anybody Have a Problem with That?, the collection of the greatest hits of Bill Maher's TV series, Politically Incorrect.
Bill Maher presides over the most opinionated show on television. Maher and his panels of pundits and pop stars tackle the really important issues, pontificating liberally and illiberally to produce funny, smart, provocative, award-winning TV. And now here's a sampling of those opinions that will guarantee to make you the hit of every cocktail party. According to Maher, Vietnam was a smart, noble war; AIDS ribbons are stupid; we should get rid of Santa Claus; inner children should grow the hell up; everything that used to be sin is now a disease; strippers get the most respect; and there's a lot of "convenient feminism." And he gives out eight "Get Over Yourself" awards to the likes of Newt Gingrinch, Howard Stern, and Deion Sanders.
Bill Maher has an opinion on everything, and he wants to share them all with you. Does anybody have a problem with that?

Review:
Politically incorrect humor is nothing new. It seems most jokes from stand-up comedians through the years have poked fun at race, religion, gender or sex while the rest have intended to be downright offensive. (Remember Don Rickles?) But Bill Maher has refined his humor on the nuances and sometimes ridiculousness of all things "politically correct." Host of the talk show "Politically Incorrect," he unloads a collection of his gems for this book, such as: "Should we require a seven-day waiting period to have a child, and if so, would it be called the Brady Bunch bill?" One book you won't want to take to the Rainbow Coalition meeting.
From the Publisher:
Politically Incorrect is one of the most talked-about shows on television today. Everyone has an opinion about it. In this book, which truly is the best of Politically Incorrect, Bill Maher unabashedly gives you his opinion. And most of the time, it's just plain hilarious. In Bill Maher's world, nothing is sacred and no one is safe. And that's what I love about him! This edition has a great preface by Maher and lots of photos from the show. Bill Maher always leaves me laughing--and thinking.
