Bill Maher: Repeal 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Because It Will Make Rush Limbaugh "Explode"

On "Real Time" Friday night Bill Maher suggested that this weekend was the perfect time for President Obama to announce that he would repeal "don't ask, don't tell," due to the fact that Obama will be speaking to a gay rights group on Saturday and because of the march for gay rights in Washington Sunday. Maher referred to "don't ask, don't tell'' as a policy that "never made sense to begin with."

The HBO host then delivered some particularly amusing reasons why Obama should end the policy. "Forget all the good arguments for repeal, like, because it's the right thing to do, or because it was promised in the campaign," Maher said. Instead:

"Do it because it will make Rush Limbaugh explode like a bag full of meat dropped from a helicopter," he said. "Do it because it will make Sarah Palin go rogue in her pants."

@CaramelMarshmallow Some soldiers might feel uncomfortable fighting alongside a black man. He should have to paint himself white to make the intolerant comfortable, right?

@CaramelMarshmallow your sexuality is your own business, and yet there's no equal policy for heterosexuals is there? and we allow women to serve in the military alongside men so sex is already an issue.

I'm pretty sure no one volunteers to maybe go to war & get killed in order to get a date.

in my country not only do we allow homosexual and transgender soldiers to fight but just 6 months ago we passed a law allowing women to serve on the front-line we are now the second nation to do that but we are the first nation to actually send our women to the front-line because the other country (Norway) do not send soldiers overseas (even on peace-keeping missions)

@webmaster2089 Huzzah! This one applies to trangenders as well as gays :)

[ThePhantom135]

Let me see if I got this correct: if a heterosexual man brags about his sex life to his friends in the army, he's allowed to stay. if a gay man even hints at his sexuality, he's discharged. ??? Such bullcrap.
