Maher's material almost writes itself. As if it was already laying on the ground and he just picked it up. A compliment -- in that the material is not a forced, or a manipulated laugh, as say Leno might be, but rather simply highlighting, punctuating, via his delivery, a big chunk of reality, like picking up a large rock, or tree branch found on a walk. And his delivery has a cadence that I find infectious -- as if he has tapped into some common root of the earth. Earthy, punchy, but the rhythym and cadence, the flow, is like something -- again -- found out in nature on a walk -- like capturing the cadence of a river, with some thunderstorm bolts, and a gusty wind, that also becomes a soothing breeze. Or perhaps capturing a natural cadence of the brain -- common to all. As evidenced from my posts, the riff and cadence of this that and whatever, punctuated by "Have you been to (LA, fill in appropriate city) lately!!??" is either imprinted on my brain, or his routines have simply unlocked and made accessable, a natural rhythym already pulsing in my brain. I vote/endorse Bill to be White House Chief of Staff to knock heads and kick butt to get people thinking clearly. Or as secretary of state -- that could liven up foreign relations. Or maybe a new cabinet position, Reality-Grounder in Chief. Carte Blanche to roam the halls of government and politico apparatus, slapping sense into jaded hacks, kicking butt of entrenched policy-wonks, and knocking heads of the inane and simply f'ed up politicos -- but you know in a very green, hip and peace-loving way.
