One Hollywood comedian is apparently unhappy that Vice President Dick Cheney is still with us.

HBO host Bill Maher asked his guests, including former conservative Joe Scarborough, why the Huffington Post pulled comments of bloggers who were expressing disappointment that Vice President Cheney was not killed in the recent assassination attempt in Afghanistan.

Referring to the bloggers, Rep. Barney Frank wisecracked, “They said the bomb was wasted,” which was met with a combination of laughter and applause from Maher’s uni-lefty audience.

Maher argued that people should be able to express regret about Cheney not dying. He justified his position with another applause line, saying, “I have zero doubt that if Dick Cheney was not in power, people wouldn’t be dying needlessly tomorrow.”

“I’m just saying if he did die, other people, more people would live. That’s a fact,” Maher blathered.

The Left Coast Report imagines ABC executives are patting themselves on the back for their decision to replace Maher with Jimmy Kimmel.
