The problem Maher has is that he can come off looking like a pretentious d-bag to outside observers and that gets exacerbated when he doesn't come to the table prepared with knowledge of all the issues. Overall though he's right a hell of a lot more than he's wrong, and he's great at pointing out hypocricy when he sees it.
Bolded is easily the worst part of the show. I normally sit through them, but rarely get much more than an occasional chuckle out of it. Maher's strong suit is obv panel based discussion, never been a huge fan of his stand up in any context.
