Political Contribution of the Day: Bill Maher may have been standing on stage at his own comedy show, but when he brought out a check for $1 million to hand over to an Obama Super PAC, he wasn’t kidding around.
The talk show host was performing his “CrazyStupidPolitics” show in San Jose as part of a first-of-its-kind live-streamed comedy concert for Yahoo, when he surprised the audience — and Yahoo — by announcing his plans to donate a million dollars to the pro-Obama Super PAC Priorities USA Action.
Maher’s wears his politics on his sleeve, so his support for the president was not a surprise.
Speaking with Anderson Cooper about Obama’s potential rivals, Maher said that, with the exception of Ron Paul, the Republican candidates have “horrible society-killing ideas about America,” and charged them with “act[ing] like God created the world in January of 2009, and then Barack Obama completely screwed it up.”
Prior to Maher’s generous contribution, Priorities USA Action wasn’t doing too well, having amassed less than $59,000 in the month of January according to FEC documents.
