1. Fuck Miller!
Edited on Tue Feb-22-05 06:07 PM by NervousRex
He's either psychotic, greedy, or a combination of the two. I used to like the guy's cable specials...then he flip-flopped and became a retarded, Bush-fellating robot. He's an angry little boy hiding behind his crumb-catching beard flinging his own feces at the glass like a geriatric zoo chimp...in the immortal words of Mr. T: "I pity the fool"

3. You could call it a "soup-strainer"
...but I think we can assume by his actions that his beard actually strains other fluids....take your pick.

He truly is a smart guy, sometimes amuzing. Miller was sometimes funny when he did "Weekend Update" for SNL, since then his humour has sucked. And he sucked on MNF as well.

9. then you must not have seen his talk show
Edited on Tue Feb-22-05 06:37 PM by Batgirl
his beady little eyes have that desperate look of someone hopelessly in over his head, he can't maintain the facade of being smart when speaking off the cuff -- hence during his "conversations" with guests he seems to be waiting for opportunities to insert pre-fabricated "jokes" -- followed by his own forced merriment at his own attempted witticisms.

16. Eric Alterman kicked his skinny
ass when Alterman was on his show. Dennis put his head down on his desk. He couldn't respond. Alterman completely predicted which rightwing talking point Miller would regurgitate next and cut him off at the pass. Miller was left with nothing. He was exposed as a total lightweight against Alterman and he just shut down.
It was beautiful to see.

7. Ahhhh yes... the man who tries so hard to sound smart.
Edited on Tue Feb-22-05 06:32 PM by tabasco
Yes, a pretentious twit. Liberals don't buy his "smart guy" act, so he had to go over to the freepers, who consider $50 and a two-day class credible journalism credentials.

Miller is a buffoon. The only reason he is employed is the corporate media and its penchant for right-wing shills.

On edit: There may be many intellectuals that graduated from Point Park College in Pittsburgh, but Miller is not one of them.

8. Miller is a washed-up comic opportunist who can only make Repukes snicker
Miller's career was in the crapper, so he does the "Repuke revivalism" routine to cater to a new crowd. There's a lower threshold for comedic effect when working a Repuke crowd...

17. and a lower threshold of knowledge
rightwing hate talkers have the bar set so low they can say anything and their audience doesn't know the difference. Faux News' viewers consistently score lowest on current events. They don't even know they're not getting news.
But there's an audience for the slow learners. So, Dennis has a job.

14. At least Ann Coulter is aware of her intellectual dishonesty. Miller is
imprisoned in a world of delusion.
