By the way
I think I have it figured out why the President is pushing the Roberts nomination through for Chief Justice.
He must believe (erroneously, probably) in a need to overhaul the Smithsonian.
Quick, write to your Senators NOW before something happens to Fonzie's jacket or the Ruby Slippers (one known pair has disappeared already--COINCIDENCE?). Your Senators need to know that our disposable pop culture preserved in a climate controlled environment with the seriously-academic-looking museum labels under them IS IMPORTANT! We will NOT forget!

MAHER: I want to – I want to say something in support of Judge John Roberts. I am totally for this guy getting confirmed—
BEHAR: You are.
MAHER: --and it's not for the same reason that the Republicans are. It's because I say – and I don't mean this facetiously – but I think – they don't know it, but they have appointed the first gay justice to the Supreme Court. [laughter]
BEHAR: Really?
MAHER: Absolutely. And, look, I live every day with comedy writers. Comedy writers think everything is gay. Westerns are gay. Romans are gay.
BEHAR: Yeah.
MAHER: So I'm very sensitive to, no, not everything is gay. But this guy is gay. [laughter] [applause] And it's not just because – not just because all his writings reveal a very caustic wit; not just because he seems to have a big problem with women; not just because his kids are adopted; not just because he played “Peppermint Patty” in college in a production of “You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown.” [laughter] But look at this picture right here. [photo shown] This is a picture of John Roberts – okay, straight men do not pose with food. [laughter] [applause] I'm just saying…

Then, there are other things like this...
So if those ruby slippers disappear, at least you'll know whose closet to look in. ;)
I know, I'm all sorts of wrong today.

pd--You may be on to something, except for the fact that Bill Maher sees marraige, children, and monogamy in general as gay ;-)
