‘One giant leap if you’re a raisin.’ Bill Maher skewers California high-speed rail plan
Add Bill Maher’s name to the growing list of critics of California’s high-speed rail plans.
The host of the political talk show “Real Time with Bill Maher” on HBO took a jab at California’s struggles to complete its bullet train project during the latest episode.
“We’re 6 billion (dollars) in the hole just trying to complete the tracks connecting the vital hubs of Bakersfield and Merced,” Maher said in a sarcastic tone during the show that aired Friday. “One small step for nobody. One giant leap if you’re a raisin.”
