BILL MAHER: Vote for the Guy with the Nazi Tattoo!

Politicians are prone to hypocrisy on steroids. So watching Sen. Chuck Schumer, a Jewish Democrat, rally behind a dude with an 18-year-old Nazi tattoo is something to behold but expected.

That faux forgiveness shtick doesn’t have to extend to comedians like Maher. They can call balls and strikes and still look at themselves in the mirror come Monday morning.

Except Maher just let partisanship get in the way of common decency. We expect that from the Kimmels and Stewarts of the world.

Et tu, Maher?

I would still urge the folks in Maine to vote for him, for two reasons…One, we need to restore balance in our government, and a Democratic Senate would help a lot with that.

Why? Maher suggests Platner reflects modern America, so it’s only natural that he not only is allowed to run for office, but he can actually defeat Collins come fall.

He gazed up at the enormous face. Four months it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. Oh cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving totenkopf-tattooed breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Platner.
