Maher called out several Republican governors, including Iowa’s Terry Branstad and none other than Rick Perry, for touring a “pink slime” factory and eating some delicious hamburgers to prove to people that the whole health issue is much ado about nothing. But in looking at the bigger picture, Maher observed that this was part of a seemingly larger trend by the GOP of taking illogical positions on issues…

Maher asked how the GOP has suddenly become a party where anything and everything that did not used to be controversial suddenly is. He went down the list from Newt Gingrich questioning the necessity of child labor laws to Rick Santorum calling President Obama a “snob” for wanting everyone to go to college. Maher concluded by also reminding viewers that whereas environmental issues used to be bipartisan, there is more division on these issues than ever.
