Bill Maher announced the donation Thursday night during a comedy special
broadcast live on the Yahoo! Screen Comedy Channel
President Obama's Priorities USA Super PAC may have only raised
$59,000 in January (actually a little less), but February will look a lot better thanks to a
$1 million donation from Bill Maher, host of HBO's
Real Time with Bill Maher.
Maher announced the donation during a live broadcast of his CrazyStupidPolitics routine on the Yahoo! Screen Comedy Channel, archived above. Priorities USA thanked Maher on Twitter:
I'm sure Bill Maher would be the first to lament how screwed up our campaign finance system has become, but it's good to see he's stepping up to the plate and playing to win.
