Real Time with Bill Maher: Overtime
Chafee appears on Real Time with Bill Maher: Overtime, where Maher prods him about when he’s going to announce his run for president. When Maher asks what distinguishes him from the other candidates, Chafee responds:
Certainly my record, and that is one, first of all, of high ethical standards over 30 years, as a mayor, as a governor, and as a United States senator.
Maher presses Chafee on the Clintons. Chafee cites Whitewater, “travelgate” and The Clinton Foundation.
‘Pull up YOUR pants’
Maher jokes about the recent sexual assault allegations leveled at Cosby during his Real Time monologue.
It was kind of a bad week for the Cos… on the plus side, he has lots of pills lying around that can make him forget the whole thing.
Even for a guy who did a sitcom in the 1980s, that’s a lot of wacky misunderstandings.
I think it is ironic justice that a nation of black teenagers now gets to say to Bill Cosby, ‘Pull up YOUR pants!’
Debate with Maher
A debate between Maher, Affleck and a panel of guests on Real Time With Bill Maher gets heated as Maher says that liberals have failed by not criticizing homophobia and sexism in Islamic countries. Affleck responds that more than a billion Muslims worldwide are mostly moderate. Maher:
Why are you so hostile about this concept?
Affleck:
Because it’s gross, it’s racist, it’s disgusting

Well first of all, if I may: Excuse me, I started this phenomenon. When I startedPolitically Incorrect in 1993, there was no political comedy. It was the most dead subject you could choose. I remember vividly when we pitched that show and everybody said, “A comedy show about politics? That is the most deadly topic you could pick!”

I am the one who’s actually out in the country every weekend. I see this country. I know what’s going on in this country ’cause I’m out there. Ten seconds after Obama got into office they were like ‘ We want our country back’.
