EPA HEAD MCCARTHY: EVEN IF WE LOSE SUIT, WE PRETTY MUCH GOT REGS TO WORK ANYWAY

EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy said that even if the Supreme Court strikes down the agency’s pollution regulations, since the regulations have been in place for three years, most plants are already in compliance on Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time.”

McCarthy predicted that the EPA would win at the Supreme Court. And added “but even if we don’t, it was three years ago. Most of them are already in compliance. Investments have been made and will catch up. And we’re still going to get at the toxic pollution from these facilities.”

Maher Battles Wasserman-Schultz Over Obamacare: Obama Clearly Lied, His ‘No New Taxes’ Moment

Bill Maher has no qualms about saying that President Obama clearly lied about people being able to keep their health care plans if they liked them, and clashed with DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman-Schultz over exactly how significant that lie was to the health care debate and whether Obamacare would have been passed in the first place without it.

Maher wondered if Obamacare had been passed in the first place if he was more honest about insurance plans. Wasserman-Schultz insisted “it was not a lie,” but Maher shot back, “Because of Obamacare, they are not able to keep [insurance plans]. To me, that is a lie.”

Rob Reiner jumped in to blame Republicans who are “refusing to make this better,” and Wasserman-Schultz reminded Maher that they hate Obamacare so much, they shut down the government.

Maher said this was Obama’s “no new taxes” moment, “a campaign pledge that didn’t hold up to the complexities of governing.” When Wasserman-Schultz stood firm, Maher told her that “the ship has sailed” on Obama’s credibility and taken a blow to his “sterling reputation for honesty.”

MAHER: VETERANS NOT BRIGHT FOR PROTESTING WITH MICHELE BACHMANN

Bill Maher disparaged World War II veterans and members of the "greatest generation" on Friday, saying the heroes who fought to preserve the freedoms that he enjoys were dumb. 

On HBO's Real Time on Friday, Maher seemed puzzled by why Republicans felt it was important to allow World War II veterans to see their memorial on their "Honor Flights"to Washington, D.C. during the federal government shutdown. He then blamed Republicans for the memorial being barricaded and mocked World War II veterans for taking photos with a Republican--Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN)--Maher asserted was "one of the people most responsible" for shutting down the memorial:

The other thing that apparently was so important for the Republicans to keep open was the World War II Memorial in Washington. That was closed, so a bunch of the World War II vets knocked down the barriers and stormed it.

And then I loved this, they posed for pictures with Michele Bachmann who showed up. Michele Bachmann, one of the people most responsible for shutting the f--king thing down. They’re the greatest generation – nobody said they were the brightest generation.

Unlike Maher, conservatives like Mark Levin understood the importance of allowing veterans on their "Honor Flights" to see their memorial. Levin said he would bring "a half million people" to the memorial if anyone from the Obama administration "lays one damn hand" on a veteran trying to see his memorial. Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin called for Obama administration employees to engage in acts of civil disobedience at the "Barrycades" and allow veterans unfettered access to their World War II memorial.
