Nasty Bill Maher Speculates on ‘the Bones of Prostitutes Rush Limbaugh Killed on Vacation’

[See NewsBusters for more.] HBO host Bill Maher was his usual nasty self on Friday’s Real Time. Joking about Cuba and America’s relationship with the communist country, he sneered that the United States’s decades-old embargo “means endlessly patching up their old DeSotos and Edsels with whatever they can scrounge, old tractor parts, chicken wire, the bones of prostitutes Rush Limbaugh killed on vacation.” This is the same Maher who gleefully joked about the death of Supreme Court justice Antonin Scalia. So, we shouldn’t be surprised. Maher’s Limbaugh joke also came with the standard bashing of America: “Before Americans can laugh at how pathetic Cubans are for driving those old, patched-up cars instead of getting new ones, we have to explain why that's what we're doing with our health care system, our voting system, our energy policy and our infrastructure.”
