Bill Maher & Tim Robbins DESTROY conservative writer Stephen Hayes

Conservative propogandist, Stephen Hayes, wrote the book The Connection: How al Qaeda's Collaboration with Saddam Hussein Has Endangered America and, to this day, refuses to let facts get in the way of his espousing that there was indeed a meaningful relationship between Saddam Hussein.

It was particularly enjoyable seeing this clip of Hayes getting completely destroyed and his tired talking points shoved right back in his face by Bill Maher and a very angry Tim Robbins on the season's first episode of Real Time with Bill Maher.

One of the great lines was when Maher, asking about Cheney's comments from the 90s noting that Iraq would be a post-invasion quagmire says:

"I know what you're going to say: '9/11 changed everyting'. Now forgetting that in itself is a huge lie because it didn't - if it did we'd have a draft, we'd have raised taxes, we'd have gotten off the oil..."

Also right up there is Robbins saying:

"...before we got into this war there were countless "military experts", intelligence analysts, that told us that this was a good idea, that we had to do it, that presented their information and were so terribly wrong. These people are still affecting public policy, are still considered experts. I'm sorry, but shouldn't there a law or rule that says "If you f**k things up so badly you can no longer be an expert"

I'd vote for that law. Enjoy the clip.
