Dennis Miller will do anything for a laugh
I was flipping through the cable channels and I came across Dennis Miller talking about Michael Moore's movie. He had to take a jab at Moore's weight by calling him a weather balloon and he said that Moore weighed over 900 pounds.

If the right wingers can't find something to talk about they make fun of the way the person looks. Miller will do anything for a laugh and he is not funny.

1. that's all they do, character assassination. You know when they don't
have a leg to stand on they start calling people names. School yard bullies, that's all they are.

6. I find that a bit hard to believe
20 viewers seems like too many to me.

LOL

35. Yeah, weak. Moore wasn't there to defend himself.
Miller had a captive audience.

8. Mainly
Moore will be remembered as a great documentary maker and street fighter. Dennis will be remembered as that comedian people thought was funny until he turned into a facist loser.

31. Sorry, no...
I've never thought he was funny.

My friends watched his HBO show when it first started, and I was instantly turned off by his use of the Tears for Fears song. Then I watched the show, and it was just dead. Early during his first season -- I think, if not it was the first season I watched it -- he had Robin Williams as a guest, and he made me fall out of my chair. I gave it a chance after that, but ... nothing.

It didn't take us long to give up on it. I hadn't given him a second thought until he became a RW hack, which I suppose was part of the point of his transformation.

In my mind, at best, he'll be remembered as that former SNL news anchor with the annoying catch phrase who had a single funny show on HBO.

5. Moore looks like a guy you would want to have a beer with
Miller seems like the type of guy that you would want to meet outside the bar in the parking lot.

13. Carvey is trying to make a comeback
He is doing the right wing nut talking points routine and attacking the way Kerry looks.

Carvey has the talent that Miller is lacking but he is washed up.

21. Washed up is right...
I would hardly call Master of Disguise a hit/comeback movie. To bad he didn't have the continuing success of his Wayne's World partner Michael Meyers........ bwahahaha

17. Nice one.
Didn't say I was against it, just that RWers don't have a monopoly on looks-bashing.

:thumbsup:

20. Both sides do this. Look at what people say about Limbaugh...
and being fat which is especially funny because last I saw of Limbaugh he was thin. I didn't recognize him at first.

22. Most Americans are fat
According to Insurance or Medical weight charts most of us are considered fat.

Are we laughing at the joke or laughing at the ignorance.

I am about 25 pounds overweight and I hate fat jokes no matter who they are being aimed at.

23. Miller is getting desperate. He knows he's washed up.
He'll be doing infomercials after November.

24. Did anyone see the show with P.J. O'Rourke?
They giggled together about "Hey, who cares if we didn't find WMD's in Iraq. They drew the "Wonka" ticket in the kick-ass lottery." Ha Ha Ha, let's bomb the shit out of them.

Well, they don't really think that these Iraqis are real everyday people with dreams and children and families, who could care less about war, who just want to make a life, who had nothing to do with 9/11. Who cares! Let's bomb the fuck out of them because we need to "kick some ass" and lay down some "payback".

Miller and O'Rourke are perfect examples of cowardly, greedy, immoral, asshole neocons who make life on earth shitty for the rest of us. They both need a bigtime comeuppance.

28. He'll do anything except actually be funny.
Anyway, we make fun of his appearance too. His recetly bloated face, the gin roses on his cheeks, his slightly glazed expression - he is NOT the man he was back on SNL all those years ago.

32. That's sheer desperation. You can almost see Miller's flop sweat.
When you have to resort to making fun of a person's appearance, that just means you don't have the truth on your side.

36. Moore looks like a typical American
there are millions of guys his size all over this country. Not that I condone being fat. It just shows that Miller is too stupid to talk about the issues.
