Bones Drones and orange Tones

What do drones, bones, and orange tones have in common? Bill Maher makes jokes about all of them on the the Real time with Bill Maher show episode 271 (aired on 02/08/13).

You have got to see Bill's take down of Donald Trump. Here's the set up. Last year, Trump offered to donate five million dollars to charity if Obama would release his college transcripts. Bill did a bit on his show where he offered to donate five million dollars to charity if Trump could prove that he wasn't the love child of a human woman and an orangutan. He was making fun of Trump's "birther" nonsense. Recently, he got a letter from Trump's lawyers suing him for $5 million. Bill thought the letter was a joke; turns out, Trump is serious.

Bill's response on the show was to pile on the insults. He said that Trump didn't know the difference between a joke and a contract—he thinks a joke is a legally binding agreement. He said that Trump should have sucked it up like other celebrities who become the butt of a joke.Instead, Trump got so angry that he couldn't stop throwing his feces. He said Trump really did look like he had orangutan heritage because the orange color of his hair is matched no where on earth except in the color of the hair on an orangutan.

Trump had sent Bill a copy of his birth certificate to prove that his father was not an orangutan. This launched a bunch more jokes. It was a short form birth certificate just like Obama's. Bill demanded to see the long form. Bill said that Trump's birth certificate was obviously false because it had a bar code on it—bar codes were not available in 1946, the year shown as the year of Trump's birth. Bill demanded more proof that Trump does not go to family reunions at the zoo. Ouch! This was the "I-almost-feel-sorry-for-the-man" moment of the week. But I don't feel sorry for Trump because he so richly deserves the ridicule that he has brought upon himself.
