Rick Santorum…the little creep that could.
- Bill Maher in his opening monologue

Poor Mitt Romney, he’s got the money, he’s got the organization, he’s got the name recognition. He’s got one weakness, an inability to get votes.
- Bill Maher in his opening monologue

Rick Santorum is against birth control, he’s against ordaining women as priests, he thinks two women kissing is immoral. See, this is the difference between me and Rick Santorum; neither one of us got a lot of dates in high school but I just didn’t spend the rest of my life taking it out on women.
- Bill Maher in his opening monologue

You have to be careful not to do things that will not topple a regime but are likely to get more people killed. You can make a case for arming the rebels in Syria if they had a realistic chance of military success as the rebels in Libya did once they had NATO and air force. But in Syria, you don’t have the critical mass, you don’t have the territory.
- Peter Galbraith

This was intended to stir up the culture wars. This was intended to get the donors, folks who are socially liberal, a lot of female independents for who this is a very big voting issue, to come out in force.
- Reihan Salam on the contraception controversy

Over twenty states are already doing this, the fact that Massachusetts was doing this even when Mitt Romney was governor, this is nothing new. The problem with this is that the President of the United States’ name is Obama and he proposed it. If he proposed anything, they would be against it.
- Rev. Al Sharpton on Republican response to the contraception controversy

Let’s just call Valentine’s Day what it is, a ‘flowers for blow jobs exchange program.’
- Bill Maher

There would be a lot more resolution on this issue if at least one state voted for it in a referendum.
- Maurice ‘Mo’ Rocca on legalizing gay marriage

You would have tyranny by the majority; you cannot have rights voted on.
- Rev. Al Sharpton on whether or not gay marriage should be voted on by the people

If you have a company that’s failing and you give it a fifty billion dollar gift and then you give it a twenty billion dollar tax break on top of that, it’s gonna make the balance sheet look a lot better.
- Reihan Salam on the claim the automotive industry is succeeding

New Rule: It is not a tell-all if we already knew. Thanks, woman who’s come forward fifty years later to ell us JFK liked to get laid. Good to know. And thanks especially for the details, like how he once made you blow his friend. Which confirms my long held theory of a second shooter.
- Bill Maher in his ‘New Rules’ segment

New Rule: Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone must drop the story that they were both in the hospital for shoulder replacement surgeries and admit they're part of a super-secret experiment to create a Republican who can beat Obama. Sylvestenegger will combine the patriotism of Rambo with the indestructability of The Terminator. Scientists are looking for a third donor to provide the brain but in the meantime, are confident he can capture the nomination as is.
- Bill Maher in his ‘New Rules’ segment

This week's guests were Peter W. Galbraith, Rev. Al Sharpton, Zanny Minton Beddoes, Reihan Salam and Maurice “Mo” Rocca.
