Bill Maher on Polanski

And why he's never done a show high.

As the seventh season of HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher wraps up, the politically incorrect host sat down with The Wrap's Sharon Waxman to talk politics, pot, and celebrities. Among Maher's most interesting admissions: Obama has been a "big disappointment" to progressives because he hasn't gotten corporations out of government, particularly when it comes to health-care lobbyists' involvement with the health-care bill. Hollywood's defense of Roman Polanski "smacks of what the Catholic Church does when it defends its pedophile priests" and "makes it so easy for conservatives to say that Hollywood has no values." The David Letterman scandal has convinced him that "never marrying and making no apologies for loving women just looks better all the time." Finally, being high for his hour long show is "the kind of thing I might have a nightmare about," because "marijuana is not meant for when you have to focus."
