Top 10 Real Time with Bill Maher Monologues

Since I started watching his show in mid-2010 Bill Maher has been my political hero. Forget Michael Moore or even Jon Stewart, Maher gets my vote for the best pundit on American television.

If you've never seen his show 'Real Time with Bill Maher' it airs on HBO Friday nights at 10pm. It isn't broadcast in Australia however so I've been watching it from a few different sources. You can download the audio of every episode here http://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/real-time-with-bill-maher/id98746009

Otherwise http://www.mediaite.com/ usually has some of the highlights from each week's show and there are plently of good clips on youtube.

Maher ends his show with a segment called 'New Rules' which he uses as a platform to analyse and satirize American politics and culture. His monologues are often outrageously funny and absolutely spot-on. Enjoy!
