Just days after joking of a possible assassination attempt against Trump, Bill Maher ranted on Twitter that he would vote for his beloved Hillary if she were lying dead in an alley as "Patient Zero for the Bubonic Plague."

Employing his usual tactic of cranking the hyperbole "up to 11" to silence conservative objections, Maher's tweet shows that the overgrown frat boy comedian thinks that by simply laughing in the face of a legitimate argument about a candidate's health – which Bill Clinton once said "the public has a right to know" – then everyone will just shut up about it.  

Hillary is not "Patient Zero for the Bubonic Plague," and no, Maher would not vote for her in such circumstances. He'd be walled up in his West Side penthouse, afraid to even step outside to smoke a blunt, which may very well be the most prudent decision Maher ever makes. 

"Pneumonia?" asks Maher. Does Hillary even have pneumonia? That question can't even be verifiably answered. To Maher, real concerns of real people are just jokes waiting to be exploited on his hyperbolic chopping block.
