Hell Freezes Over
First, Bill Maher praised President Bush. In a piece from Newsbusters (via Instapundit), Maher says:
“I have to say, watching George Bush talk about Israel the last week has reminded me of a feeling that I hadn't felt in so long I forgot what it felt like: the feeling of pride when your president says what you want your president to say, especially in a matter that chokes you up a bit. I surrender my credentials as Bush exposer - from the very beginning - to no man, but on Israel, I love it that a U.S. president doesn't pretend Arab-Israeli conflict is an even-steven proposition.”
Good for him. My respect always goes up a notch for anyone who demonstrates the ability to either criticize his own side, or give praise to his opponent when it's due.
As an example of the latter, witness Cal Thomas' glowing review of the new Oliver Stone movie World Trade Center:
I have a long list of favorite patriotic movies, including "Victory at Sea," "Yankee Doodle Dandy" and "Sands of Iwo Jima," but Oliver Stone's "World Trade Center" is right up there with the best of them. It is one of the greatest pro-American, pro-family, pro-faith, pro-male, flag-waving, God Bless America films you will ever see.
Good for him, as well. A lot of people have forgotten the emotional impact provided by 9/11 and returned to a victory-for-my-party-at-all-costs mindset. It's good to see that Stone evidently hasn't.
