Andrew’s Overtime appearance on Real Time is up:
Earlier in the show, Rand Paul came up:
Maher says Paul’s success could be based on his aversion to “American Empire”. “Like his father, he is for not for having an American empire,” Maher said, referring to former GOP presidential candidate and his dad, Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas). “That’s the thing I love about the Pauls.”
Blogger Andrew Sullivan concurred with Maher saying, “I think Rand Paul’s attempt to say what most people in this country really understand, which is we don’t need to run the world. We don’t want to run the world. America would be in a better place if we were less interested in our own power, and more interested in freedom.”
Most of the show isn’t available online, but featured on YouTube below is Maher’s blistering take on the upcoming movie Noah and the 60% of Americans who believe the Biblical flood story is true (money quote: “Hey god, you know you’re kind of a dick when you’re in a movie with Russell Crowe and you’re the one with anger issues”):
