I've got a heavy man-crush on Bill Maher, so much so that it aches my heart. His anti-religion views are right up my alley (sorry, God), and his deft mix of political clarity and edgy humour is often spot on. Not only that, but his HBO show Real Time With Bill Maher is home to some of the sharpest political commentary and debates on television, and are often must-see in these historic times. Maher is currently doing the rounds to promote his new faith-mocking documentary Religulous, and this morning, got himself in some hot holy water with the feisty ladies on a Barbara Walters-less The View.

The incident occurred when Maher insinuated that co-host Sherri Shepherd was bonkers for believing in Noah and his Ark, and that she's spoken to God. Maher then suggested that "We should call Belleview," and at that point Whoopi chimes in and takes them to commercial, with Maher never to be seen again. Looks like some women on The View don't like it so much when others express their own. Quite lame. And the dust-up couldn't have gone over well with Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who is reportedly upset about being picked on as the show's sole conservative, and as a result, is considering splitting.
