Dennis MILLER on the Dem Candidates
He does a couple of minutes on Faux Saturdays. His target this week was our field of candidates. He said KERRY looks so craggy his skull could be on Rushmore (without any carving). Wow. What humor. Said KERRY looks like an Easter Island standing stone. Said DEAN should get the nom, "Please, PLEASE nominate DEAN-----he'll get his ass handed to him." Said he doesn't even know who MOSELEY BRAUN is. Btw, he looked pasty, scraggly beard, and hung over, makes HITCHENS (pre-recent makeover) look like a fitness buff.

1. Thats supposed to be funny
Dennis Miller isnt exactly Mr. Handsome himself. I bet he would say some nasty stuff about the good Dennis too. I can hear it "small", "geeky" ay its a bunch of bullshit. So much more funny about Bush dumb I know its cliched but he actually believes the Slaves were migrants thats not dyslexia I have made dyslexic mistakes like that and seen him make dyslexic errors. Dean could beat Bush and I am a Kucinich supporter but Dean has the right stuff IMO.

4. no they would say
Yeah that guy wasnt he in his hay day in the 80's the republican love retro I notice look at Bush's adminstration. Rummy was secretary of defense in the 70's and Cheney was in power in the 80's. He was never the outsider he claimed to be in fact more of an insider but he was too dumb to realize that Gore was an insider too.

41. That's where your age shows, JohnKleeb!
Sure, Cheney and Rumsfeld go back to the Nixon White House. They were young players then, not the old tin-plated iron-hearts you see now. Even then they could do the dirty work of a dozen men.

But, you must know, Gore is not an insider. To be one, you have to give up control; and Al hasn't done that. Gore is still his own man. Otherwise, he WOULD be President.

5. He wasn't even that great on SNL.
Kevin Nealon and Norm MacDonald were far better on Weekend Update.

He's just a burnt-out loser.. I quit paying attention to him long ago.

6. agreed - it was always about him
his hair especially. To make a career putting others down is not comedy.

what ever happened to good ole Norm?

22. Miller's routines
You know the guy isn't funny when he has to rely on making fun of a person's appearance. But then Miller isn't taking time to look into the issues and address them. He's a lot like Anthrax Annie--another lame name caller with nothing of importance to say.

16. You hit the nail on the head.
I think these kind are wering out. My daughter (early 30's, busy, travels a lot, lots of friends, big city, said the other day: "Rush Limbaugh and those type are passe now- I don't know anyone who even pays attention to him and people like him"....

17. Miller opened for Bush* (and rode with him) at a recent fundraiser
...
They were also served pre-speech jokes by comedian Dennis Miller, who later earned a ride not only on Air Force One but also in the president's limousine. His well-received assessment of the Democratic White House hopefuls: "I haven't seen a starting nine like that since the '62 Mets," a reference to the New York baseball team that won 40 games and lost 120.

8. Who on SNL...
told him he actually had talent?

As much as he's trying to channel Mort Sahl, the guy just isn't funny. He isn't poignant. He isn't relevant.

He isn't much of anything.

36. If Miller is Mort Sahl, then Dennis Leary is Lenny Bruce
They're both no-talent hacks, but no matter how shameless Miller gets, I still hate Leary more, because as bad as Miller is, at least he never ripped off Bill Hicks verbatim.

9. Dennis used to be considered a "liberal" comedian..
In the 80's, he used to cap on republicans and the like, and now, in the space of...what....1 year, he's a full fledged whore.

I'd love to get a hold of some old audio clips of him making fun of Jesse Helms or Reagan or Bush 1. This guy is a complete fraud, an he definitely isn't funny.

I just think it's rather funny to see him try *so hard* to please his new masters.

15. In 2000 he was begging to "Give this guy 4 more years!"
Regarding Clinton. I guess the cruise ships stopped calling him so the gig over at Faux News was the only paying option he had left. I've never seen such a blatant example of whoredom, but will look forward to the day the Dems are back in power and he has no one left to whore for.

18. Just a whore
There's money to be made being a Republican, not in telling the truth or having principles. Miller is old and no longer funny--he had to try and make a buck somehow.

Personally, I never liked him as the anchor of Weekend Update. Always thought Jane Curtin was the best--she looked like a real newswoman and read the news as if it were real, and therefore more funny. It's the essence of true comedy--you do it as if your life depended on it. All the others are trying to hard to let you in on the joke.

20. Absolutely great critique!
Throw Ackroyd in as someone who got it right.

The only thing is, Jon Stewart does it the same way (letting you in on the joke), but it REALLY works for him.

23. True about Stewart
But the reporters on the show take their jobs dead-serious--Stewart is a good foil to them.

21. Miller's wife is a beautiful former model. I hope she leaves the asshole
and hooks up with a nice deserving lefty. Miller is dead to me. He and Annthrax Annie were made for each other.

11. The Simpsons Slam Dennis Miller!
A repeat the other night where Lisa joins the Springfield Mensa group. I think it was Professor Frinkle who made a comment that wasn't funny, and then had to explain it. Then Lisa got it and the professor said "Only one person in a million would find that funny. We call it the Dennis Miller factor." Priceless!

19. What a disgusting whore he is.
Somebody should tell the joker that kissing asses of the mighty and
powerful simply cannot be funny by definition. Even Soviet comics
didn't do it. Ever. Dennis Miller: Sucking cock for his country
(A story of a true patriot). I bet, somewhere deep inside his little
sperm intoxicated brain he imagines himself taking a courageous
civic stand. Then again, could be just the money, as for any whore.

24. Not to stick up for Dennis
But read Jon Stewart's interview with Bill Moyers on DU here.

He talks about some the Democratic candidates in that ie,

Kerry- Kind of like Al Gore without the charisma

Dean- It will be nice to have another President who's neck is bigger than his head.

Out of curiosity, why no similar paryoxims of rage over his comments?

25. Because Stewart takes shots at BOTH sides....
which is what social satirists do. Miller is just an Amway after dinner speaker.

28. Because he's not whoring for Bush,
like his pal Dennis is. Stewart is doing comedy, Miller is waging
a political compaign. One is a comedian, another one is a PR media
whore.

26. I could be wrong...
but I doubt it. Miller picked the wrong time to become a repuke. His comic/political career has about one year left when Dean rips * in half.

I'd really like to read a serious interview with DM where he explains the reason for the transformation to the dark side.

39. 9/11
It all stems from 9/11, this is Miller thinking he's doing honor to the victims by becoming a ranting xenophobe. Such exploitation of 9/11 makes it easy for him to identify with Bush and believe that, like Bush, he can revive a sorry career.

37. Dirty Trick
For anyone with a little time, money and talent: You take some clips of Miller and Bush arm-in-arm yukking it up; you edit in some vintage cocksuck this, motherfuck that Miller; you burn it on a CD; you make about a thousand copies; you label it "Are These Our Family Values?" and then you get a thousand names off the James Dobson mailing list, send them out , and let it go monkeypox through the whole Religious Right.

38. It's so lonely for Miller on the outside...
...of the sky-box on Monday Night Football. He'll do anything for a pat on the head. Including display himself as a shit talking, politically back-graded, wit cracking cracker on POXnews. OMG! Maybe he has found his niche! The only trouble is that; never one to be all that timely in my opinion: 'the times they are'ah changing' and he will be, once again, on the outside looking in.

Poor Dennis ~ :nopity:
