    Real Time, you say?

    More like Real Time with Bill Maher where Bill tries to defend his Republican guest of the week.

      There's booing after the creepy, reptilian republican says the Holocaust can be "divisive". Bill gets instantly annoyed.

      "Stop it now." The volume goes down by a lot but not to zero. "Stop it right now." The audience is quiet. "You might not want to hear this - but my guest is one of the good ones."

      Somebody yells out "No."

      Bill does his standup mug and says "Who let him in here." He gets serious again "This isn't a maga situation and you're not going to agree with everyone. That's life. That's how it works. It's called being an adult." Maher meant that as an applause line but it didn't get the result that he wanted so he focuses on his horrible guest "Senator Vile - I apologize for the sophomoric outburst - please continue," he says with solemnity.

        Like. Clockwork.

        Jesus, you don't know how many times I heard that situation or sequence of events go while my parents were watching Bill Maher on television.
