At the tail end of tonight's Real Time, Bill Maher took a moment to ruminate on the way conservatives treat President Obama, whether it is heckling him during the State of the Union address or, more recently, Governor Jan Brewer throwing her finger in his face and then saying she felt threatened. Maher believes that no other President has ever gotten treated as such to his face and he is probably right. Wonder what could be behind it all.

Some of you people don't just comment on specific posts. Sometimes you comment in #tips, and sometimes those comments are amazing mysteries. Like the commenter who posted this picture of Joe "You Lie!" Wilson and departed soulster James Brown.

2009 had its fair share of things that didn't go exactly according to plan. F-bombs, dry-humping, real humping, and lots of unforeseen stupidity. Here are the 12 best things that weren't supposed to happen on TV, but luckily, they did.

the former President describing his reaction to seeing Rep. Joe Wilson scream out "You Lie!" during Barack Obama's health care speech in September, to Parade magazine via Politico.

Ethan Hawke turns 39 today. Mike Nichols, the film director and husband of Diane Sawyer, is turning 78. Gossip Girl's Kelly Rutherford is 41. The First Lady of California, Maria Shriver, is 54. Sally Field is turning 62. Writer Michael Cunningham is 57. Rebecca Romijn (formerly Rebecca Romijn-Stamos) turns 37 today. Thandie Newton is turning 37. Taryn Manning is 31. Actress Emma Stone is 21. TV host Catherine Crier is turning 55. Former Manhattan Borough President Ruth Messinger is turning 69. Joe Wilson, the former diplomat and husband of Valerie Plame, is 60 And Lamar Odom, the NBA star and poor soul now married to Khloe Kardashian, is 30. A few weekend birthdays after the jump.

Barney Frank has long been described as the Democrat's most witty lawmaker, but that may soon change, because Alan Grayson's on an amusingly incendiary roll. He learns quick, yes, but could it bite him in the ass?

Arnold Schwarzenegger must have some balls, because the Republican "governator" made an impromptu appearance at a San Francisco Democratic Club dinner. The crowd was certainly not feeling it, and heckled him with such phrases as "Kiss my faggot ass."

Just in time to catch the extreme tail end of the news cycle, it's the Congressman Joe Wilson action figure. Buy several while they're still hot! This action figure also talks. Can you guess what he says? We're not telling.

Jimmy Carter should know better than to just say what various columnists, politicians, and random people on the street have been saying for weeks now. You know, that race is informing the hysterical response to Obama's policy proposals.

So, our nation has fully accepted the fact that low-blow insults and childish retaliation is a-okay. The proof? Our House of Representatives have weighed in on what is and what is not acceptable when insulting the President.

A politician shouted during Obama's speech. A tennis player yelled at a line judge. A rapper grabbed a mic during an awards show. All in the same week. You know what this means: A fake trend is sweeping America.

Joe Wilson, the Congressman who heckled Obama, refuses to apologize again. Dick.

Joe Wilson's no doubt shaking in his boots. His opponent raised oodles of cash after Wilson's "You Lie" outburst. So, how's Wilson retaliating? By making a desperate, deflated and entirely flat plea for cash to fight "liberal attacks," of course.

Joe Wilson, the South Carolina Republican who screamed out "You lie!" last night during Barack Obama's speech to a joint session of Congress, has apologized, and Obama has accepted. Maybe they should have a beer?

Rob Miller, who's running against Obama-heckler Rep. Joe Wilson, raised $137,379 since last night.

Chuck Boustany must be pissed! He gave the official GOP rebuttal of Obama's speech, but it's mad heckler, Rep. Joe Wilson, who's getting all the attention. Oh well. Let's learn more about Joe, a histrionic right-winger who loves racists!

So, the President just wrapped up his health care speech. How did it go? Well, despite his efforts to teach the GOP a thing or two, he likely wasted his breath on a group who can't comprehend his reforms.
