What This Comedian Said Will Shock You (Hardcover)

Although I don't always agree with him 100%, Bill Maher is one of the most lucid, coherent, and sensible comedians, social commentators, and political pundits currently in the business. He's not always right (e.g., his prediction of the 2024 election), but he seems to be right on the money most of the time. His wit is razor sharp, but his language is not safe for school or work. This doesn't bother me because I'm an open-minded grownup, but I imagine it would be off-putting for some. I'm glad he's honest about everything, especially calling out some the extreme left-wing "wokeness" that has driven many away from the old school moderate/centrist liberalism that used to exist. (It's probably in large part what cost Democrats the election.) I realize his commentary can be polarizing, but if you accept it with critical thinking and intelligence, the great majority of what he says will not only make sense, but also ring true.

Purchased as a gift for some ultra liberal frinds %26 family. They tell me they enjoyed the read. Have not read the book personally.
