THEATER REVIEW: BILL MAHER, VICTORY BEGINS AT HOME (2003) * * * 1/2 (3 and a half stars out of 4).
External link:
I found this show to be much, much funnier than his TV show. My favorite joke from the show was this: You know who I really feel sorry for? Whores. Because, if you're a whore, what do you wear now so that people will know that you're a prostitute?
At the end, he asked people to come up and asked him questions. So, I got up and pointed out that a guest on his show once misspoke, and nobody caught it, saying of France that "If it weren't for us, they'd all be speaking French," which I thought was funny because it had a lot of truth to it, so I asked Maher, why does he think that the people who are so critical of France for being ungrateful for our participation in World War II, are always so quick to forget that if it weren't for the French, we'd all still be British Subjects. It was basically a paraphrasing of my April 18 blog entry on this. Maher responded that he agreed with my criticism, but added that France helped us because it was in their interest to hurt England, and we helped them in World War II because it was in our interests, so the whole issue of gratitude is irrelevant. This is The Official Record.
