Maher Channels His Inner Obama

The thing to remember with Maher is that he knows just enough about any one topic to make a joke about it. I watched him on The Factor once. He was asked about what he would do about Iraq and gave the Joe Biden "divide it in 3" answer. When the host pointed out that solution (according to the generals) would require more troops not less, Maher told him he didn't know the details. In other words, Maher didn't know anything beyond the immediate talking point.
