Hillary Clintonsaid shes ready to come out of the woods after keeping a low profile since her shocking election defeat in November, but Bill Maher thinks she should just stay in there.

On Fridays Real Time with Bill Maher, the 61-year-old comedian said the former Democratic presidential nominee had her chance and blew it.

Hillary, stay in the woods, OK? You had your shot. You fed it up. Youre Bill Buckner, Mr. Maher said. We had the World Series, and you let the grounder go through your legs. Let someone else have the chance.

The fact that shes coming back, it just verifies every bad thing anyones ever thought about the Clintons, that its all about them, Mr. Maher said. Let some of the other shorter trees get a little sunlight.

Neera Tanden, president of the liberal think tank Center for American Progress, disagreed with Mr. Maher, saying Mrs. Clinton has every right to speak out on an issue that shes worked on for decades of her life.

Yeah, but what did she speak about? Mr. Maher asked. Shes speaking out because Bill OReilly made a joke about Maxine Waters hair.

The comedian was referring to Mr. OReillys now-retracted joke thatblack Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters wears a James Brown wig. Mrs. Clinton called the joke racist during a speech last week in San Francisco.

She spoke out against racism and sexism, Ms. Tanden said.

She spoke out about a joke, Mr. Maher added. You know what, this is why the Democrats lost the election in the first place. Because they cannot get their priorities straight, and they never fail to take the bait about little bulls issues.

Former Republican Sen. Rick Santorum, who was also on the show, said the left should stop being outraged at every offense.

Stop the fake outrage, he said.

Its not fake! Its not fake outrage, Ms. Tanden responded.

It is fake outrage, Mr. Santorum interjected. Well, if it isnt fake outrage then you should learn to take a joke and move on.

Former Florida Rep. Joe Scarborough said Monday his pet rock could have toppled Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election, thanks to all the baggage she carried into the contest.

My pet rock could have gotten 45 percent against Hillary Clinton, Mr. Scarborough said on MSNBCs Morning Joe. Maybe if my pet rock didnt make any gaffes in the three debates, my pet rock could have beaten Hillary Clinton.

Mr. Scarborough, a Republican, said the election was not about President Trump, who won the electoral college and lost the popular vote to Mrs. Clinton by a 48 percent to 46 percent margin.

This election was not about Donald Trump, he said. It was all about Hillary and Bill Clinton.

Hillary Clinton supporters just cant get over Susan Sarandon aggressively advocating for Bernie Sanders, which they think contributed to Donald Trumps election victory.

Sarandon refused to dial down her criticism of Clinton even as Sanders dropped out of the race. In return, liberals with long memories are boycotting her performance as screen legend Bette Davis on FX anthology TV series Feud.

You would have thought that people watching Ryan Murphys dramatization of the feud between Davis and Joan Crawford (played by Jessica Lange) from Hollywoods bygone age that premiered on FX last month wouldwell let bygones be bygones.

No such luck. Lefties are still mad at Sarandon and despite saying they very much want to watch the new show from Murphy, who createdThe People v. O.J. Simpson, are posting tortured tweets:

Somehow we think Sarandon will get over not being watched by this insurrectionist Feud network!

WASHINGTON Hillary Clinton criticized President Trumps proposed cuts to the State Department and U.S. aidprograms that benefit women and children in developing nations, warning of a shift that should alarm us all in attention around the globe towomens rights and health.

Speaking at an awards ceremony in her name at Georgetown University, Clinton called the fight to elevate the rights of women and girls across the globe the great unfinished business of the 21st century.

She took aim specifically at the Trump administration for its proposed cuts in international aidand diplomatic programs that help promote peace and stability. I know weve seen positive results in the advancement of womens rights over the past couple decades, Clinton said. But Im here also to say we are seeing signals of a shift that should alarm us all.

This administrations proposed cuts to international health, development and diplomacy would be a blow to women and children and a grave mistake for our country, she said. Turning our back on diplomacy wont make our country safer. It will undermine our security and our understanding in the world, said Clinton.

Trumps proposed fiscal 2018 budget would cut spending on international programs including the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development by 28.5% to $27.1 billion. During her speech, Clinton also cited a February letter from more than 120 retired generals and admirals urging Congress to block Trumps State Department and USAID cuts, saying they save the U.S. from spending military dollars on wars.

Its part of a series of recent speeches in which Clinton'sbeen openly critical of the Trump administration. That includes a speech last week in San Francisco in which she slammed White House press secretary Sean Spicer for his treatment of an African-American female journalist during a press briefing and disparaged the low percentage of women serving in the current White House.

At Georgetown, Clinton cited the important role women have played around the globe in promoting peace, from women whove helped heal sectarian tensions in Northern Ireland to those who ended a bloody civil war in Liberia and women from the Democratic Republican of Congo whove endured unimaginable abuse and cruelty.

The ceremony itself payed tribute to individuals whove been pivotal in a Colombian peace agreement, including Jineth Bedoya, a journalist and advocate for victims of sexual abuse who was abducted and raped while reporting in Colombia and Elena Ambrosi, a key member of the Colombian governments negotiating team in Havana.

On Wednesday, first lady Melania Trump gave a keynote speech on womens empowerment at the State Department. Yet, in an earlier speech in San Francisco, Clinton pointed out that the ratio of women to men employed by Trumps White House is the lowest in a generation.

At Georgetown, without using any names, Clinton said: If we are to build more just free and peaceful countries and a just world its not enough to just pay lip service to empowering women, she said.
