He's right.
Maher is really odd. Sometimes he is spot on about shit and comes off like he's actually paying attention and other times you're wondering if he lives under a rock.
Probably spot on when he knows its so blatant that he can't spin it. Lol.
Kind of like Rush, usually he's bat shit insane, but every once in a while, when the stars align just right, he throws off the persona and displays a stunning amount of intellect.
