"It's a title the comedian can claim now, to the tune of one million dollars, per an email from his publicist:
Comedian Bill Maher announced tonight that he will donate one million dollars to President Obama’s re-election campaign. At the end of his groundbreaking comedy special, “CrazyStupidPolitics: Live from Silicon Valley,” which streamed live on Yahoo!, Bill brought out a check, making a personal donation of one million dollars to Obama’s Super PAC, Priorities USA Action. His explained that having a country governed by Barack Obama rather than any of the Republican candidates is “worth a million dollars” and that in his own financial interests, “this is the wisest investment I think I could make.” He also encouraged other wealthy liberals to do the same and give until it hurts.
On the one hand, I don't know that the "Politically Incorrect" guy is likely to set off a trend of seven-figure donations from the left, and it would hardly be shocking to see Maher's donation become the target of criticism from the right.
On the other hand, it's a million dollars."
