Congressman Slams Maher Over Army Remark: "Rep. Spencer Bachus, R-Ala., takes issue with remarks on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, first aired May 13, in which Maher points out the Army missed its recruiting goal by 42 percent in April.

'More people joined the Michael Jackson fan club,' Maher said. 'We've done picked all the low-lying Lynndie England fruit, and now we need warm bodies.'

[...]

'I think it borders on treason,' Bachus said. 'In treason, one definition is to undermine the effort or national security of our country.' "

Another definition, it seems, includes having a sense of humor. I watched that particular show and it was funnier than 99% of what's passes for comedy on television.
