Bill Maher: the other one

TREASURE ISLAND, Fla. — Bill Maher is rolling out the red carpet for conservatives.

No, not that Bill Maher.

The Bilmar Beach Resort is home this week to Republican National Convention delegates from Connecticut and North Dakota.

The convention rate is $165 a night excluding taxes at the 1950s-era retro hotel, where a chap in a pirate’s costume presented Mardi Gras beads to delegates upon their arrival.

No word on what was expected in return for the beads.
