Slate V Podcast Feed show

Summary: Bill Maher is giving $1 million to Priorities USA Action, a pro-Obama Super PAC. Maher announced the donation at the end of a streaming hourlong special of his CrazyStupidPolitics show on yahoo.com. Super PACs, as we've learned mainly from Colbert's "Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow," can raise unlimited amounts of money to support political causes, however they can't "coordinate" with their favored candidates. In a statement released after the show, Maher said that if Obama beats any of the Republican contenders it would be "worth a million dollars" and that "this is the wisest investment I think I could make."
