In the span of a week, Bill Maher, Kathy Griffin and Piers Morgan have all said sorry, even though the trio of provocateurs normally revel in making people uncomfortable. In fact, Maher has apologized before: shortly before ABC cancelled his show Politically Incorrect in 2002. “That’s cowardly.”Some critics read Maher’s comments as anti-American and anti-military, so Maher issued a statement apologizing and also attempted to clarify his remarks. Fast-forward a decade-and-a-half and Maher is once again in hot water following his Friday night episode of HBO’s Real Time. And then there’s Maher, whose word choice was met with many calls to #fire him.
