I really want to like Bill Maher, but I find him about as charming as Alan Colmes, which is to say not at all. I wouldn’t pick him as my spokesmen, but having said that, he absolutely nails it in this quick clip. To wit:

They are running out of places to hide, and there’s still way too much time to just run out the clock. I’d give anything to see them sweating it out behind the scenes, especially Karl Rove…
