Hasta La Gadget!

Bill Maher was an equal opportunity political offender during Friday night’s monologue on “Real Time.” Between the Republicans’ secret health care bill and the “losing” Democrats, no one was safe from his savage burns.

Maher dug right in to “lame” Democrats first in an attempt to understand how Jon Ossoff lost the special election in Georgia’s 6th Congressional District even after the party poured so much money into his campaign.

“He came so close,” Maher quipped. “Party leaders are calling it a terrifying brush with success.”

The comedian begged Democrats to stop losing elections because “the wrong people are in power.” Then, he turned his attention to the so-called “wrong people” by tearing apart the release of the Senate Republican’s secretive health care bill.

“Everybody is saying it was unveiled — unveiled is not the right term,” Maher said. “You unveil a sculpture. Nobody goes, ‘Behold, a turd!’”

The comedian highlighted the darkest items on the bill, which he called “a manifesto from the Zodiac Killer.”

It makes deep cuts to Medicaid, it allows states to drop protections established by Obamacare for people with pre-existing conditions and, Maher explained, “just for spite, it defunds Planned Parenthood.”

“No more gynecological exams,” he added. “Although Trump says he’s still available to grab pussies.”

Maher ended his rant on the health care bill with a grim warning: “Do not kid yourself. This will pass. Republicans get shit done.”

Candidate Colbert? “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert popped up on the other side of the world Friday night to appear on a Russian late-night show — “Evening Urgant” — to throw down vodka shots in a liquid version of Russian roulette. Then Colbert got to the good part. He announced he’s considering a run for the U.S. presidency in 2020. 

Why not? If a reality show real estate developer with no political experience can win the White House, Colbert could very well have a shot at the top job. Just imagine.

“I am here in Russia … to announce that I am considering a run for president in 2020, and I thought it would be better to cut out the middle man and just tell the Russians myself,” Colbert said to wild applause.

Colbert added, in an apparent dig at possible collusion between Donald Trump’s campaign crew and the Kremlin: “If anyone would like to work on my campaign in an unofficial capacity, please just let me know.”

He finished up: “A strong America, a strong Russia!”

Colbert is only the most recent celeb to announce he may be throwing his hat into the ring. Last month on “Saturday Night Live,” host Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Tom Hanks teamed up in a tongue-in-cheek revelation that they’re planning to run as well.

“I didn’t think I was qualified at all, but now I’m actually worried that I’m too qualified,” quipped Johnson. (A national poll actually suggested that Johnson could potentially beat Donald Trump if he ran as a Democrat in the 2020 presidential election.)

Colbert’s no political neophyte. He announced in 2007 as his conservative “Colbert Report” character that he would run for president, and he kept up the claim for about a month. He finally dropped his plans because he said filing for the Republican primary would be too costly.

Colbert is in Russia to work on material for an upcoming segment of “The Late Show,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. He has promised Trump that if James Comey tapes exists, he’ll bring them back from Russia. Trump has finally admitted that he has no such tapes but hedged that they might exist … somewhere.

The California father of a missing 5-year-old boy has been arrested in Las Vegas and is suspected in the boy’s death.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department homicide investigators seized Aramazd Andressian, 35, Friday afternoon and he’s being held in jail in lieu of $10 million bail. He’ll be returned from Las Vegas to Los Angeles after extradition proceedings, according to a sheriff’s department statement.

Andressian’s estranged wife called police April 22 when he failed to return their son after a trip to Disneyland. The boy, Aramazd Andressian Jr., was last spotted on a Disneyland surveillance video late April 20 and hasn’t been seen since, according to the sheriff’s department.

The father was reportedly found passed out alone in Arroyo Park near his South Pasadena home the day Aramazd was reported missing and taken to a hospital. His car was found nearby doused with gasoline, and he had no explanation for his son’s disappearance. Andressian was arrested but released soon after because investigators didn’t have enough evidence to hold him.

Police and sheriff’s deputies conducted an extensive search of the park for Aramazd but didn’t find the boy.

Six days after his son was reported missing, Andressian released a statement — and photos of the boy — pleading with the public to help find him. Andressian claimed he had no memory of what had happened but said he suspected he had been attacked after he took his son to the park the day he vanished.

“I am desperate to find my son, Aramazd Jr., and need the public’s help. I hope and pray for the safe return of my only child, my namesake,” he said in the statement obtained by KTLA-TV in Los Angeles.

“In one moment, I was at the park with my son, and then I found myself waking up in Huntington Memorial Hospital hours later. I was told that a good Samaritan found me unconscious on the ground near my car, with young Aramazd nowhere in sight. I can only speculate that I must have been attacked in the park, given my unresponsive state and subsequent physical condition.”

In May, homicide detectives searched the Montebello home of Andressian’s mother and removed items, but police did not reveal what they were.

Police are continuing to seek the public’s help in locating Aramazd and any information about his father’s activities when the boy went missing. (Anonymous tips can be called into Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477.)

Earlier this month, police searched a recreational area in Santa Barbara County after a tip that the father and son had been spotted there April 21, the South Pasadena Star News reported. The search was later called off.

Law enforcement officials plan to hold a news conference Monday with further details on the case.
