The HBO late-night host Bill Maher apologized on Saturday for using a racial epithet during an interview with Senator Ben Sasse, Republican of Nebraska, on a live broadcast of his show on Friday night. HBO denounced the remark as “completely inexcusable and tasteless,” and said it would be edited out of future airings.
Shortly after 10 p.m. on Friday, Mr. Maher, the comedian and host of HBO’s “Real Time,” was talking to Mr. Sasse on his program about the boundaries between adolescence and maturity, and how adults in California still dress up for Halloween.
When Mr. Sasse said this did not happen in his state, Mr. Maher said, “I’ve got to get to Nebraska more.”
Mr. Sasse replied: “You’re welcome. We’d love to have you work in the fields with us.”
Mr. Maher said: “Work in the fields? Senator, I’m a house nigger. No, it’s a joke.”
Mr. Maher said Saturday in a statement: “Friday nights are always my worst night of sleep because I’m up reflecting on the things I should or shouldn’t have said on my live show. Last night was a particularly long night as I regret the word I used in the banter of a live moment. The word was offensive and I regret saying it and am very sorry.”
HBO issued its own statement on Saturday, saying, “Bill Maher’s comment last night was completely inexcusable and tasteless. We are removing his deeply offensive comment from any subsequent airings of the show.”
The episode comes at a highly charged political moment, and at a time when comedians are facing increasing scrutiny for the political content of their material.
Last month, Stephen Colbert, the host of “The Late Show” on CBS, was criticized for a crude monologue joke he made that implied a sexual relationship between President Trump and President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia.
And this week, CNN ended its association with Kathy Griffin, the comedian and co-host of its annual New Year’s Eve program, after she appeared in a photograph holding what looked like Mr. Trump’s bloody, decapitated head. (Ms. Griffin has since apologized. Her lawyers say she is being investigated by the Secret Service.)
Loveless said:Since this forum seems to be mostly full of conservatives and Roosh's blog talks more and more about laissez-faire economic policy, I am sure a liberal like Bill Maher will not get much love here.
But the guy has been espousing some great Red Pill wisdom for nearly 20 years. He shits on marriage all the time, and has said he is like the escaped slave who brings news of freedom to his married friends. His game is also supposed to be tight. Howard Stern once said that if he was better looking he would need three penises.
His New Rule from last week's Real Time episode contained more Red Pill wisdom about the demise of the American male.
Here is a link to a shitty link to the New Rules segment (the good stuff is at 2:12).

My favorite lines:
On Manti Te'o: But, doesn't it say something about the state of our manhood that this primal warrior never even had sex? Because his girlfriend only existed in "fairyland." And, sadder still, why was this dumb jock such a hero to so many men in the first place? Grown-ass men who were "let down by him."
Red-blooded American males whose mood on Saturdays is dependent on how well a 20-year-old kid tackles a 19-year-old kid. Middle-aged guys who wear replica jerseys with the name and number of their favorite boyfriend -- I mean, player. Guys who get in fights with other guys in other replica jerseys over whose 20-year-old is better.
And that's why we wind up idolizing other men who do the masculine things we're not doing: football players, soldiers, action stars who solve every problem with violence. [slide of George Bush] Tough guys who start wars for no reason. Generals who conquer ragtag armies from third world countries...these are the vessels of our outsourced masculinity.

Also, I don´t get the conservatism that´s coming out of ¨the manosphere¨, Roosh especially often sounds like he´s a fan of George Will and Rush Limbaugh. Oh well, different strokes for different folks I guess, that´s why I try to get all the positive good stuff out of this forum and blog, and disregard everything else.
One last thought, why is it that guys in the ¨manosphere¨try to equate conservatism with masculinity? Like if you prefered Obama over Romney than you are an emasculated beta mangina male feminist. It´s pretty much completely baseless in my opinion. Personally, I don´t even get why Roosh or anyone wastes any thought on those feminists, I take the mantra that if you ignore them they don´t exist. It´s not like all this feminist shaming and hate is having any impact on society, outside of an extremely small percentage of jaded men who follow the manosphere like it´s a cult.
I couldn't agree more. In my view its totally possible to separate the public sphere and private spheres of life. In the public/political sphere I believe there are problems that government should solve with things like taxation and regulation. This just seems to go against the trend I am seeing emerge in manosphere blogs which are starting to widen their scope from just game and travel to things like the theories of macroeconomic policy and welfare programs. Believing in universal healthcare shouldn't make me an emasculated blue pill. I want to rack up as many notches as possible and live a life unencumbered by restrictive societal norms. That is what I thought being Red Pill is all about.
