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.
