A little late for the Spanish lessons but here´s a quick Spanish-Gringolese:
Mario Vargas Llosa = Mario Vargas Yosa
Jorge Luis Borges = Horhe Louis Borhess

work on your Spanish Bill. Esp saying Borges.

I didnt get this one, this one points out the stereotype that americans are self centered and ignorant about everyone else. It's Bill Maher signature not being like that (funny though)
-
I don't believe Bill was taking a stab at these Latin American writers which are worldly respected and invaluable contributors to literature... seems more like an attack to a general american ignorance regarding non-american writers and/or artists in general to me. The Kanye West comment and the stereotypical generalization gave me this impression. Wouldn't make allot of sense otherwise, Bill would be in obliviously bad company in this. But maybe I'm just trying not to feel disappointed at Bill.

@Edgehead10075 Wait...you never saw Rosie's stand-up routine, and so, you conclude she isn't a talented comedian? Makes no sense. I *did* see her stand-up routine, and she is hilarious. Frankly, I can't think of any talk show host who is "great." But that's because talk shows use a tedious, repetitious format.
Also, you're *tired* of hearing "that having a show means you have talent." I've never heard that...ever.

Bill, I'm a gonna let you finish, but Arsenio had the best late-night talk show ever!

1. That´s Jorge Luis Borges. And yes, he was great, please read his stories.
2. There are only 6 latin american writers arwarded with the nobel prize: Garcia Marquez, Octavio Paz, Pablo Neruda, Miguel Angel Asturias, Gabriela Mistral y Vargas LLosa.
3. According to George Steiner and Harold Bloom, most of them are truly great.
4. But greater than all of them was Borges, by far.
5. And he was robbed like Yourcenar, Joyce, Proust, Orwell, etc.
6. I love Bill, but this... is just stupid

-
