I remember thinking when I heard him say that commen..."Boy, are you
going pay for that one Bill."

His dismissal from ABC was a classic example of what happens when you

ABC decided not to renew Maher's contract for Politically Incorrect in
2002 after he made a controversial on-air remark, in which he, along
with guest conservative political commentator Dinesh D'Souza, objected
to President George W. Bush and others calling the September 11
terrorists "cowardly":

"We have been the cowards lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles
away. That's cowardly. Staying in the airplane when it hits the
building, say what you want about it, it's not cowardly."

- Bill Maher, Politically Incorrect (2001)
