Dennis Miller is an idiot.

After seeing the Daily Show last night it just reinforced that. He says he was for Iraq because someone had to be punished for 9/11. And he talks about how ridiculous he thinks Global Warming is. I want to get Gas to fill my car.

Forget about the fact that Iraq had nothing to do with Al Quaeda or 9/11, and the fact that ANWR has barely any oil to even be a short term solution. What a fucking idiot. I feel dumber for having watched that part of The Daily Show.

checkers player. He prefers the checker player. You are right what a simple minded idiot DM is.

"George is the kind of checkers player who kicks the board over when he doesn't get his way".

There's no way Monkey boy can keep track of them all. Forget Chess, that's one of them liberal elite games.

George acts without thinking, Kerry thinks before acting... what a difference.

I love TDS and watch it every night, but I wasn't amused last night at all. I am happy with the show most of the time though, so I'm just gonna move on.

Just couldn't stand to look at that moran miller.

He's a comedian. Why should he be any better informed than Jon Stewart, Chris Rock, or anyone else who uses politics as part of their schtick? He comes at it from a conservative angle, but he's a comedian. I don't think Jon Stewart is brilliant or qualified to give me real news or real political information, but he's funny and sometimes makes good satirical points. Miller is the same way from a different angle for those who find it funny.

Or fiction versus fact.

only claims that his show is comedy, it just happens to be that Jon Stewart's 'news' is usually so breaking and poinent that it makes the news a lot more than anything Miller has done at all.

are supposed to be funny. :eyes:

nothing funny. Invading a country cuz frat boy said saddam threatened 'my daddy' is NOT a valid reason. Everything else miller said was crap especially about global warming. He was not funny; he wasn't even getting much of a response from the audience.

in some audiences he'd get lots of laughs, and that's the angle he's set up for his career. Just as other comedians profit from mocking Bush, Miller profits from what he does. It may not be my kind of comedy or your kind of comedy, but he's just a comedian. I don't understand why people are taking him so seriously and getting so upset over a comedian. It's like the way some in the GOP freak out over Whoopi Goldberg's jokes about Bush. It's her comedy. If you don't think it's funny, don't listen.

...like a paid audience with a light up "laugh" prompter. Because that's what it takes nowadays for him. They have to bus in and pay audiences to watch his shtick, just like his "Fake Town Hall Meetings" president.

told a lot of off colour jewish jokes. Man when he had a Nazi audience, they would just roar with laughter. Nothing wrong with that, is there? It's just a joke, it's all in fun. It's not like real people are really getting hurt and killed and they are laughing about it, enabling it, encouraging it, and mocking and ridiculing those who are trying to stop it.

A good comparison: neither one is funny, but they piss off completely different groups.

...is Dennis Miller made his name attempting to do "intelligent comedy", so much so that others made fun of him for it. Now his opinions are emotionally derivative drivel, and his "comedy" is little more than GOP propaganda.

By his reasoning, if someone kicked my dog, it would be fine for me to punch Dennis in the mouth. Afterall, someone has to be punished for kicking my dog?

Maybe Jon should have pointed out to Dennis that most of the oil that is being pumped in Alaska now, goes to Asia, not to the lower 48.

have that has-been on? Did somebody else bail at the last minute?

Idiot is an understatement. Completely humorless asswipe comes close but is still insufficient.

What's with that?

Dennis Miller and others are talking about Jon Stewart. I must have missed Jon Stewart last night because someone said Zell Miller was on, (or was that the Dennis Millers show?)

I have to agree with the people who say they don't like Dennis Miller. He was a whole different person when he was on HBO. Now I don't even turn him on.

Jon Stewart, on the other hand, is great.

...that would be letting him off to easy. He is obviously a smart guy, and I truly believe that he has only embraced right-wing lunacy to profit from it.

If I'm right, that would make him a whore. If I'm wrong, that makes him a self-deluded prick.

If he isn't attempting to profit, then he is failing miserably. Last I heard, they had to pay people to sit in his studio audience.

He always impressed me as an intelligent guy but when he perceived that the right-wing zealots were taking over the airways in the mid-late 90's, he began to whore himself to that crowd to cash in.

I found it interesting that he made the statement on TDS last night that he "is not a right wing nut of the Republican party" but is "more libertarian". Think he senses the beginning backlash against the social regressives representing the Republican party now and is starting to distance himself.:spray:

...but he DEFINITELY fits the Little Green Football anti-Islam, pro-military, anti-Democrat mold.

So many repugs claim to be libertarians when, in actuality, they are simply deistic republicans. Real libertarians have very little in common with the current repug mindset.

Now he has to pay audiences to laugh at his jokes.

When you do comedy that highlights political issues and holds politicians to the fire, you are a satirist.

When you do comedy that highlights political issues but actively seeks to kiss the president's ass, you are a sycophant.

as an algae-eating snail is to the side of an aquarium.

I've tuned in briefly to his show and found that my opinion of him could, surprisingly, be lowered.

This was during the Bernie Kerick scandal and when someone asked how Bush could have not known anything about his background, Miller's response was "that makes me like him even more because it proves he's not a Washington insider!" All the time with a look of googly-eyed adoration on his face. Bear in mind, he wasn't trying to be funny.

How did he get a reputation for being an intellectual? Oh that's right, from bandying about $3 words in his pre-fabricated "rants."

He can't think on his feet, and he's a shitty interviewer.

And on top of that he is guilty of believing he's hot whilst sporting a horrible cheesy facial hair topiary.

was how many times he said (defensively, in response to nothing from Jon!) that he is a Libertarian. I can ONLY draw the conclusion that he's been stung a bit by disappointed fans -- or former fans. Or something.

Another thing he mentioned was that he was very envious of the kind of audience Stewart had and would LOVE to have that kind of audience himself. Between the two, made it sound like ole Dennis may not be doin' so well career-wise these days. Hope I'm not reading too much into it. But really, he must've said about 4 or 5 times that he's really a Lobartarian.

same feeling when I watched that asswipe last night. He can't get the audiences anymore so he has to back-peddle on the fact that he supported bush by pointing out he is a libertarian. He hung around the Monday Night Football crowd too long until they had their fill of him.

He isn't funny anymore and he is having a hard time coming to grips.

me thinks his "show" is getting canceled and he's trying to get some of his old audience back. His whole rant on global warming was fucking ridiculous.

...defend the homefront. The fact that he supports Iraq and Bush for that matter makes him not a Libertarian. It is just like any other idiot who says they are a libertarian. They are not.

You said "Dennis Miller is an idiot" and then you talked about the "Daily Show" The 'Daily Show" is hosted by Jon Stewart.

I think you must be talking about Dennis Miller and I don't know what his show is called but I can't see Jon Stewart saying that Iraq was OK unless he was being sarcastic.

I think Miller's career is in the toilet and Jon Stewart is a friend of his so he let him come on, do his act and tell us all he isn't as RW as we think he is.

I will have to admit I came away from it hating him a little less.

I don't want to sound Kafkaesque here, chachi --but if Herr Miller thinks he can nurse his career back from Dante's seventh layer, he has the same amount of cerebral activity as Francis Farmer after a busy night of trepanning ::::heeheeeeeeeeeee:::::

and he clearly isn't all that bright, either.

He completely rips on Dennis Miller. Man, I used to like Miller but, that guy is just not funny anymore.

I think I'm starting to see why he got kicked off of HBO.

:thumbsdown:
