Original message
Dennis Miller has declared war on Obama
because Obama referred to McSame's economic plan as a 'pig.' Faux outrage.

Evidence that the RW kool-aid doesn't merely destroy one's reading comprehension. It apparently obliterates the memory as well. Not unlike Tommy Lee Jones' 'flashy-thingy' in 'Men in Black.'



What a putz.

62. Oh, he's a somebody. Remember, they had to hire
a fucking chimp to cohost with him, and when the audience was upset that he wasn't fucking the chimp, they had to pay them to sit through his witless blatherings.

14. Probably Miller.
Medved, at least is a genuine right wing fascist who believes the shit he says. Miller's only doing it to try to salvage his pathetic "career".

His whole life has been a schtick.

Just heard Randi Rhodes say, "spare me this faux outrage!"

Quite right.

20. George Dubya gave Dennis a ride on his airplane.
Dennis was so impressed he became a republican... or something along those lines.

Also, 9/11 turned him into a scared old man. It was sad really.

21. Every time I see Dennis Miller now,
I ask myself..."What the FUCK happened to him??"
#1. He used to be pretty damn liberal, and ragged on the GOP all the time.
#2. He's not even funny anymore..not even if you're a GOPpie!

How the hell did that happen??
Maybe it was the "flashy-thingy", that is about the only thing that makes any sense.

just a frightened, gracelessly aging old man with nothing but a thesaurus and a collection of pop trivia in his book of tricks.

Think of a sixty-year-old Cliff Claven with a slightly larger vocabulary.

32. I've figured out your joke formula Mr. Miller. Sorry to inform.
History/Pop Culture Figure + very + Action is like 2nd History/Pop Culture Figure + Verb + 3rd history/Pop Culture Figure possessive + Noun losely connected to 2nd History/Pop Culture Figure.

E.g. Rush Baugh claming to not having sex with little boys is like Salvador Dali claiming to paint George Steinbrenner's Rolex.

And I think that was when his career peaked.

It's been a downward spiral ever since.

After UC invited him to WV and we gave him a sold out show in 1992, he went on TV and trashed everyone here as a bunch of backwoods rednecks.
Yeah, this is a guy to call for civility. He really gets small town values.

71. It was the Flashy Thing!


Either that or 9/11 scarred him for life and left him a hollow humorless shell of his former self, some kind of emotional cripple who is willing to trade away our blood, treasure and indeed even our freedoms in exchange for the mere perception of safety.

Ben Franklin would have found his ilk contemptible.

72. Poor Dennis, still trying to stay relevent and stay in the spotlight
Decades after his time passed him by. He really is making a pathetic fool out of himself now.

He was great with SNL, especially the news gig(a bit that greatly influenced Jon Stewart and many others). But he couldn't change or adapt, so now his schtick is simply being the cranky old uncle trying to stay hip and with it, and failing miserably. He should retire gracefully rather than continuing to make an ass out of himself because this prolonged twilight of his career is just plain and simply sad and pathetic.
