hines, tweeting the remarks were insensitive. she s right. it never ends well. i ve always sort of liked bill maher s caustically independent streak. here he is on his hbo program explaining why he s increasingly mocking liberals. it s not me who s changed, it s the left. who s now made up of a small contingent who have gone mental and a large contingent who refuse to call them out for it. but i will. that s why i m a hero at fox these days. [cheers and applause] which shows just how much liberals have their head up their [bleep] howard: maher was responding to dana perino floating him as a possible presidential candidate. i think he ll stick to mining comedy gold from both sides. beat the clock. that s it for this edition of mediabuzz. i m howard kurtz. i think we ll know by next sunday whether tom brady is, in fact, retiring or not.
