Signs of the Apocalypse: Bill Maher and the New York Times Criticize Obama?

It's a sign of the Apocalypse. Leftist comedian Bill Maher has written a piece in the Los Angeles Times criticizing Obamessiah. Even Maher's had enough of the ceaseless media coverage and Obama's apparent addiction to media attention. Really?

Here are a couple amusing blurbs:

Blurb the first:
President Obama should just join the cast of "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!" It's not that farfetched; he's been on everything else. I'm still a fan, but there's a fine line between being transparent and being overexposed. Every time you turn on the TV, there's Obama. He's getting a puppy! He's eating a cheeseburger with Joe Biden! He's taking the wife to Broadway and Paris -- this is the best season of "The Bachelor" yet!

Blurb the second:
I mean, selling the personal part to stay popular, I'm all for it, but you got us already. We like you, we really like you! You're skinny and in a hurry and in love with a nice lady. But so's Lindsay Lohan. And like Lohan, we see your name in the paper a lot, but we're kind of wondering when you're actually going to do something.
Hmmmm.

An even bigger sign of the Apocalypse -- Maher actually wrote the following:
Remember during the campaign when John McCain attacked Obama for acting like a celebrity and we all laughed at the grumpy old shellshocked fool? Well, it turns out he was right.
Oh, my!

Add to this another sign of the Apocalypse: Obama-loving New York Times (!) actually printed a piece complaining that Obama blames Bush too much. Well, whaddya know? Maybe I'm actually not a bitter, ignorant, right-wing nutjob racist hatemonger for making the same criticisms (well, among others).
