“Politically Incorrect”
Before there was “Real Time with Bill Maher” on HBO, there was “Politically Incorrect” on ABC. Known for his controversial statements, the comedian spoke his mind regardless of the repercussions back then too and it cost him his job. Maher’s show was pulled off of network TV after a groundswell grew when he disagreed with President Bush who had called the 9/11 terrorists cowards. Maher said the U.S. was the real coward lobbing cruise missiles from 2000 miles away. Needless to say, with the tensions running high because of the recent 9/11 attacks, the show was pulled off the air in June of 2002.
