hines, tweeting the remarks were insensitive. she's right. it never ends well. i've always sort of liked bill maher's caustically independent streak. here he is on his hbo program explaining why he's increasingly mocking liberals. >> it's not me who's changed, it's the left. who's now made up of a small contingent who have gone mental and a large contingent who refuse to call them out for it. but i will. that's why i'm a hero at fox these days. [cheers and applause] which shows just how much liberals have their head up their [bleep] howard: maher was responding to dana perino floating him as a possible presidential candidate. i think he'll stick to mining comedy gold from both sides. beat the clock. that's it for this edition of "mediabuzz." i'm howard kurtz. i think we'll know by next sunday whether tom brady is, in fact, retiring or not.
