bonnie Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 Donald Trump Issues Statement Regarding $5 Million Lawsuit Against Bill Maher By Noel Sheppard | February 04, 2013 | 15:47 As NewsBusters reported Monday, Donald Trump is suing HBO's Bill Maher for the $5 million the comedian offered to the real estate mogul if he proved that he wasn't the product of his mother having sex with an orangutan. With the suit having been filed in California court hours ago, NewsBusters has obtained a statement from Trump via his EVP and Special Counsel: DONALD J. TRUMP SUES BILL MAHER FOR CHARITY $5 MILLION DOLLARS PROMISED TO CHARITY! For information call Michael Cohen, EVP & Special Counsel to Donald J. Trump (212) 8**-**** [number redacted by editor] Donald Trump today filed a lawsuit against talk show host Bill Maher for the $5 million dollars he committed to pay Mr. Trump for charity while being interviewed on the Jay Leno Show. Mr. Trump is hereby demanding the $5 million dollars and issued the following statement: “I don’t know whether this case will be won or lost, but I felt a major obligation to bring it on behalf of the charities listed, namely Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, American Cancer Society, Hurricane Sandy Victims, March of Dimes, and the Police Athletic League. Bill Maher made an unconditional offer while on The Jay Leno Show and I, without hesitation, accepted his offer and provided him with the appropriate documentation. Prior demands for payment went ignored by Mr. Maher despite the fact that the beneficiaries of this suit will ultimately be the charities named above, who would share equally the $5 million dollars…something I am certain they can desperately use.” For some background, Maher while appearing on NBC's Tonight Show in early January offered Trump $5 million if he could prove he wasn't "spawn of his mother having sex with an orangutan." The following day, Trump's attorney sent a letter to Maher that included Trump's birth certificate and demanded that Maher "remit the $5 million to Mr. Trump immediately and he will ensure that the money be donated to the following five charities in equal amounts: Hurricane Sandy Victims, The Police Athletic League, The American Cancer Society, The March of Dimes, and The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute." As Maher has yet to fulfill his commitment, Trump has filed suit saying on Fox & Friends Monday morning, "I had an obligation to the charities." Where does this go from here? Let's hope Maher does the right thing and sends a check without further ado.

Ted Oplinger Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I suppose It takes a bigger mouth to call out a big mouth Indeed, it does, Laz. Blessings, Quote "As iron sharpens iron, so also does one man sharpen another" - Proverbs 27:17 "The offense of the cross is that the cross is a confession of human frailty and sin and of inability to do any good thing. To take the cross of Christ means to depend solely on Him for everything, and this is the abasement of all human pride. Men love to fancy themselves independent. But let the cross be preached, let it be made known that in man dwells no good thing and that all must be received as a gift, and straightway someone is offended." Ellet J. Waggoner, The Glad Tidings "Courage is being scared to death - and saddling up anyway" - John Wayne "The person who pays an ounce of principle for a pound of popularity gets badly cheated" - Ronald Reagan

bonnie Posted February 5, 2013 Author Posted February 5, 2013 How anyone could have a bigger mouth than Maher, I don't know. Trump is outspoken, but he has a much better grasp of reality than Maher. Quote: Bill Maher on HBO’s Real Time outdid himself last night.Maher warned Romney voters: “If you’re thinking about voting for Mitt Romney, I would like to make this one plea: black people know who you are and they will come after you.” (Sounds sort of racist, huh?) Quote from http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2012/11/...fter-you-video/ Here's another of Maher's comments: Quote: It is no secret that Maher despises conservatives especially of the female variety. Nearly a year ago, Maher delighted both himself and his left-wing audiences when he called Sarah Palin “a dumb twat” and “a c—t” — words even harsher than the ones Rush used against Fluke. Quote is from the following link. http://spectator.org/archives/2012/03/07/obamas-waiver-for-bill-maher And you're going to say Trump has a bigger mouth than Maher? Maher wins by a landslide in the mouth department. Can you imagine the explosion if Trump had made the same statement concerning Obama's parentage? It is rather silly to even give Maher recognition for what comes out his mouth but when I saw it couldn't help but wonder Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make.

Trump is outspoken, but he has a much better grasp of reality than Maher. I kind of agree, but that's Mahers' job, trump is not just outspoken, he keeps getting his foot stuck in it.

bonnie Posted February 5, 2013 Author Posted February 5, 2013 I kind of agree, but that's Mahers' job, trump is not just outspoken, he keeps getting his foot stuck in it. I wonder if his job description requires he be as foul mouthed and coarse as possible? Maybe it is necessary to appeal to those that consider this man funny. Trump may misspeak and have a ideology I don't always agree with,but will give the man credit,he doesn't have to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

I have never heard Trump use foul language even. Much less spew out the filth like what comes out of Bill Maher's dirty mouth. Quote
