Bill Maher Is Getting His Mark Twain Prize After All

Last week, word got out that Bill Maher was set to receive the Mark Twain prize, which tracked in every way. Trump notoriously seized control of the Kennedy Center, so why wouldn't he give it to a comedian who made a sycophantic visit to the White House? However, none of this took into account that Trump has the emotional temperament of a Walmart bag stuck to the foot of a stray cat. So, within minutes of the report, the White House fired off frantic denials. Karoline Leavitt swore up and down that Maher would not be getting the award, and you'll never guess how that ended: Maher is getting the award. As for why he'd accept while openly acknowledging that it's coming from the meritless husk known as the Trump Kennedy Center, are you not familiar with Bill Maher? He won't shut up about it from now until his smarmy skin turns so translucent that he just vanishes into the light. Congrats? (Mediaite)
