The problem with Maher isn't that he's wishy-washy (he is, but that's not the problem). It's a combination of his ridiculously patronizing "condescending prick" attitude, his New-Agey pseudoscience, and his utter vapidity. I've never been convinced that Maher has all that much going on in his head, but he gets so much mileage out of mocking the truly idiotic and hypocritical (I saw him demolish Harold Ford Jr once, and I'd put him pretty thoroughly in both of the mentioned categories) that it makes him feel smarter than he is.
