Customer Reviews

A man who can't lie.

Bill Maher is funny because he points out the obvious, putting down people who can't see the obvious thru his jokes. It's as simple as that.One reviewer said he (or she) use to like Bill Maher but doesn't now because of his jokes on the Bill Clinton sex scandal, saying that he avoided real issues. The fact is no one should have to answer a question of the nature that President Clinton had to answer. It's his personal life. Now, President Bush, he lies about things that are important. Like stuff that affects us, and the o-zone laye too. Back to the point, this book is good, worth my money, and five stars.

Wow...

Listen, people, Bill Maher IS NOT A DEMOCRAT.He is a libertarian... while some of his views are clearly democratic, he dispises both republicans and democrats, and for good reason.Bill is also a brilliant and funny guy, with this book clearly showing his cleaver and sharp humor.

This is a must buy for any fan of Politically Incorrect.

Hillarious. Bill Maher's cynical approach to everything is just down right funny. Well worth the money. It has 1 page summaries about many topics that have been aired on the show.

Political Correctness Ain't All It's Cracked Up To Be

Funny, irreverent, thought-provoking, daring--that is this book. Bill Maher brings his unique style and wit to this compendium of installments from his hit show. Slyly observing today's issues from his own skewed perspective, Maher skewers topics such as foreign policy, American morality, supermodels, date rape, smoking and OJ. And does it in such a way that the reader will end up reconsidering the wisdom of the trend towards "political correctness." The only real problems with the book is that it only covers shows from '93-'94, and contains no substantial quotes from his guests. But, hey--that's another book! The best thing about this book is that you can read it from back to front and it still makes sense! Thank God someone has the guts to say what the rest of us think but dare not utter aloud. Irreverent, yes, but definitely not irrelevant

Fun compilation from the hit cable TV show!

For those of you who love Comedy Central's contribution to political satire, this book is for you. For those of you who thought Al Franken's book "Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot," had too many inane observations (such as Franken's solution for rising health-care costs for the elderly), this book is definitely for you. "Politically Incorrect" takes potshots at everyone, regardless of what side of the fence they're on. Granted, "Rush Limbaugh..." was meant to be funny first and foremost. "Politically Incorrect's Greatest Hits" presents real-life issues with more down-to-earth observations, incorporating biting wit in abundance. The book is presented chronologically, with each show's topic, Bill Maher's opening statement for the discussion, and witticisms from the guest panelists. I didn't feel as though there were enough comments from the guests; however, I'm sure this did pose a problem for the book's editors, because they certainly could not print the transcripts from each show--the book would have had the thickness of an encyclopedia! This is the only fault I found with the book, and it probably will not deter you from enjoying it. The pages devoted to celebrities on overblown ego trips, (the "Get Over Yourself" segments), are especially fun to read. This book could very well hit the New York Times bestseller list in the near future
