Left In Alabama:: Maher Challenges Tuscaloosa
So, of all the cities and towns to choose from in the state of Alabama — nay, the nation — he chooses, as the horribly racist place least likely to vote for Barack Obama, Tuscaloosa, a college town with a 43 percent African-American population. Idiot.
While Cullman would have been a far more realistic choice for Maher….he is far from an idiot.
I really don’t see Alabama going blue… don’t beat up on Bill for making a realistic point.
Alabama won’t, but Tuscaloosa will. I don’t take kindly to being smeared as racist.
shoulda picked hoover.
Wheeler’s right, of course. But think about it. “Tuscaloosa, Alabama” sounds hayseed. He’s a comic; he’s gotta milk funny-sounding names for all they’re worth, whether he knows what the hell he’s talking about or not.
I’m with Maher 95% of the time, but in this case he is an idiot. Should have done a little research.
At least he didn’t tell the joke about elephant hunting.
