Bush's warmup act (Dennis Miller) takes swings at Kerry, Byrd, Clinton

[Cocoa]

For those who don't know, Miller used to be a comedian.

<snip>

Opening a rally at a Green Bay, Wisconsin, sports arena, Miller branded Kerry a serial position-changer. He said if the senator's "core beliefs vacillate any more, he's going to have to get an OnStar button installed in the middle of his forehead."

Miller then took off after another senator -- Robert Byrd -- saying he's "off his gourd" -- and former President Clinton, saying that getting him to write an honest book -- quote -- "is like asking Brittney Spears to sing a capella."

At a recent New York event attended by the Democratic hopeful, Hollywood celebrities, including Whoopi Goldberg, denounced Bush as a liar and a warmonger.

1. Dennis Miller is nuts!

What a waste of mediocre talent.

[Cocoa]

3. lol

speaking of mediocre talent, Wayne Newton was Bush's other big celeb with him in Wisconsin.

[Ediacara]

10. Honestly man!

Even before he became a GOP sellout, he was AT BEST, the second worst comedian I'd ever heard (the worst being Rodney Dangerfield).

[DemocratSinceBirth]

40. Rodney Dangerfield Is A Great Physical Comedian

NT

[mac56]

44. Agreed.

Rodney Dangerfield is the real deal. If Rodney is the worst comic the poster has ever heard, that's not such a bad track record. He or she needs to hear some more comics.

2. Didn't Miller have a gig calling NFL games...

for about a nanosecond? I seem to recall his 'career' was shorter than Rush's.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

4. Miller's a has been

I used to think he was funny but he's become tired and stale. This was revealed most clearly when he was on "Real Time with Phil Mahr". Without a telaprompter and a writer Miller could not come up with anything original, pithy or even humorous to say.

[iamjoy]

5. I Used To Think Miller Was Smart

He actually made me feel ashamed in 1993 for laughing at the jokes against Stockdale.

And still, Miller made me laugh at other things and not feel guilty. I loved his rants, even the ones that weren't so liberal

But I've lost all respect for Miller. It isn't for being Republican, it is for being Republican because "George W. Bush has restored honor and dignity to the White House."

How can I respect some one so deluded whose values are so out of whack?

[olddem43]

6. isn't Brittney Spears a Bush supporter?

I guess they don't care who they trash.

[FlemingsGhost]

7. Enjoy the sports arena, Dennis. County fairgrounds are next.

"Didn't ya'll used ta be on tha TeeVee?"

[Tom Kitten]

8. or children's puppet shows....

ala "Spinal Tap"...but at least they had "talent"!

[The Zanti Regent]

22. No, Dennis will soon wind up in Branson, Mo.

Can't wait for the Dennis Miller Theater in Branson, you know, the 50 seat ampitheater between the Osmond Brothers and Yakov Smirnoff Auditoriums!

Knowing Dennis, he's too lazy to do more than 3 or 4 weeks per year, so he will probably have other Branson greats like Jim Stafford, Andy Williams, Foster Brooks, Loretta Lynn and the Lost In Space Robot headline the rest of the time...

[annxburns]

9. So hey, are the democrats going to protest and whine ...

... about Miller. How about calling Kerry all those names?

Guess it is okay for people who support repubs but not dems.

Is the whore media going to call him on this? Oh no, he is a commentator on MSRNC ....

[Redleg]

12. No, the Dems are not as whiney as the Rethugs.

The Rethugs whine even though they control the Whitehouse, Senate, House, and Supreme Court.

[glitch]

38. and the Media

don't forget the 4th estate!

[Khephra]

11. Ummmm...didn't the GOP have problems with Goldberg recently?

Nice to know that they're keeping their high standards of avoiding hypocrisy.

[Joanne98]

13. He doesn't own his own (domain) name

http://www.dennismiller.com/

Unless he's a gay guy who designs his own furniture. :)

[Autobot77]

29. Heres a better website

www.dennis-miller.com or Dennis Miller Fascist cherleader

This dude rips Miller a new one.Hahah

[democrat_patriot]

14. We demand to see that tape!!

Now where did I hear that before????

Kerry even apologized for Whoopie, Hey Georgie? Where you at?

Hello??

[bleowheels]

15. "Dennis who?" That's what we'll all be saying a year from now.

[Jerseygirltoo]

16. Too bad

his audience doesn't know what 'a capella' means.

[Hobarticus]

17. Anyone still listening to this guy?

Dennis Miller, yeah, I remember you. You had that one show. Good to see you. I'll take a Whopper with cheese, fries,and a Coke. Thanks. No, I don't want an autograph.

[DS1]

18. 'cuse me while I slip on my liberal elite hat..

*LOL* Do they really expect those redneck inbred Kraft Mac-and-Cheese eatin fucktards to know what vacillate means?

:7

[bleowheels]

25. I wondered the same exact thing.

[xxqqqzme]

27. squatter can't even

pronounce it. He shouldn't B using words the chimperor doesn't understand.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

19. Miller reminds me of a misquito hitting the windshield of a fully....

....loaded 18-wheeler doing about 80 mph.

[DS1]

20. only if that bug was singing

I'm alright Jack, while trying out for a role in Paul Hogan's next Dundee movie

/Dennis Miller

[LiviaOlivia]

21. I remember Miller talking about his "good friend"

Jeff Bridges on some show right before he started(but got) the Monday
Night Football gig. I wonder what they think of him(Miller)now.

Miller chose his own path$$$$ into the shithole.

[symbolman]

23. Wow

listening to Miller is like being stuck with your dad as a teen ager driving across the country with the radio broken, no batteries for your walkman, and he won't shut up the whole way..

pathetic, boring, getting uglier by the minute.. and sometimes I wonder if he doesn't have Hodgkins disease or something else..

he has this way of shivering or making faces that he didn't used to have and it's DISTURBING.. when he does it I want to stick a belt in his mouth so he doesn't have a fit where everyone can see it..

Ever since Arieanna Huffington gave him a ration of shit for reminding her of Nixon and Sammy Davis Junior, he's been lost in the humor department..

I think that one remark hit him to the soul and he never recovered..

he lays low cause he doesn't want us out here in TV land to reprise these golden rips on his loserness..


What's Cheney and BUsh going to call one of their cult humor heros next?

The StayPuft Marshmellow man? Probably get him confuses with the Michelin Man and blow the humor..

they have NO sense of humor because that involves laughter and humanity and all they want to do is KILL and RAPE and PILLAGE...

[Spiffarino]

24. Remember when Dennis Miller used to be funny?

Yeah, neither do I.

[demoman123]

26. Miller has political ambitions himself. That's what this is about.

Some wealthy Santa Barbara Republicans have been encouraging him to run for office.

[Manix]

28. ..yeah his so-called career is toast, becoming a repug meathead is the

sign of a desperate man.

[daligirrl]

46. Ala Sonny Bono. . .

God rest his soul.

[Democat]

30. Miller has no brain of his own left

Poor guy sold out everything for a little bit of cash.

[Hobarticus]

31. Dennis Miller's the new PJ O'Rourke.

PJ wrote for Rolling Stone and used to be funny, until he became a right-wing asshole. Then he drifted away, to places like conservative book clubs' bargain bins.

[VoteDemocratic2004]

32. What the hell is Miller going to do for a job in November?

What are they all going to do when Bush is out of office and they can't find work?

[AmandaRuth]

33. he's on a news network

and hosting a show that spits anti dem venom and he GETS NO RATINGS. Just how does that happen??? Why is he still one the air???. All i want is one measly am station that DOES GET RATINGS and as far as i can tell, the effing government is the one keeping it from me. How I long for Air America.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

34. puke

[PROUDNWLIBERAL]

35. Whoopi Goldberg Fired!

Slim Fast fired Whoopi for what she said at the Kerry fund raiser! What a Nazi organization! I'll not be watching Dennis Miller the piece of crap.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

36. Dennis, I think you missed the point of being a comedian

You are meant to be funny and provide people with entertainment and enjoyment. You just sound like what you are –a bitter and disappointed loser who has never been able to match the calibre or intelligence of your counterparts on SNL and who has now decided to totally abandon all your principles and values to get some cheap publicity and some brownie points with the bunch of losers who occupy the White House.

[Downtown Hound]

37. Notice how Miller is the only comedian Bush can get?

And he's not even funny and never was! But he's paraded around at every GOP event as their star. Pathetic!

[mountainvue]

39. Such a shame.

He used to be funny. Hope whatever they're paying him is worth the loss of conscience.

[The Animator]

41. I'd love to see Miller try to defend himself...

...against Bill Maher, Al Franken, Howard Stern, Dennis Leary and Lewis Back

[PROGRESSIVE1]

43. Howard Stern would BEAT his sorry hind end.....

so BAD that Miller would need a transplant.

[Junkdrawer]

42. I knew Dennis before he made it "big"...

At a place called The Portfolio in Pittsburgh. He was an "I'm a Big Shot" asshole then and apparently he's still one now.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

45. You mean dude used to be funny? Who knew?

:shrug:

[truthisfreedom]

47. dennis miller has "small hand" complex. look at those mini-flippers some

time up close... you know what they say... small hands, small... mind.
