We still don't know the context of his statement.

Well, I did see the show.
Having defended Maher for probably well knowing that each state has two senators, I'd like to note that his commentary may have missed a huge point*. The Senate is based on representation by state (regardless of demographics), the House is based on representation by population. We have a bicameral system just to make sure that there is a degree of balance for both states and their inhabitants.

Yeah, I've cringed at some of his humor. He's fond of sticking a very pointed barb into areas we consider sacrosanct or beyond questioning. And that's his point (pun intended). When we stop questioning, when our logic becomes rigid, our thinking stagnant, it's a surefire recipe for trouble.
Maher's big question is the same one as that of most two-year olds. WHY?
