Bill Maher: Voting for Republicans as Stupid as Voting Not Guilty for Casey Anthony

Bill Maher weighed in on the Casey Anthony verdict Friday night with a decidedly different take than most of the pundits this past week: He compared it to Republican thinking on economic issues.

If you can look at a crime where everything points to one answer and not see it, you’re a dumbass. And if you can look at the deficit and not see that the problem is that the rich stopped paying taxes, you’re a Republican.

And before you accuse me of equating the Casey Anthony verdict with Republican thinking, save your breath: I am...if you're a working-class American who still votes Republican, then you don't get to b*tch about that verdict.

Attacking Republican opposition to a higher corporate jet tax, Maher said:

Voting for them is as stupid as voting not guilty for the mom who lost her baby for a month and went looking at a wet T-shirt contest.
