On Friday's Real Time on HBO, host Bill Maher ended his show by wishing that prominent Republicans suffer violent tragedies -- some of which would likely be deadly -- caused by global warming and other environmental issues so as to make Republicans take a more liberal view on environmental regulations.
The theoretical tragedies the liberal host thought up included Chris Christie having his arm torn off by a shark, James Inhofe being "mauled" by a polar bear, Rush Limbaugh being attacked by bees, the Koch brothers being "swallowed up by a fracking-induced earthquake," and Marco Rubio being "swept out to sea" by flooding and "washed up all the way back to Cuba."
Calling on the "gods of irony," the liberal host even begged, "Please make this happen."
