Dennis Miller is just NOT FUNNY
I don't care about the fact that he kisses Bush ass and makes fun of democrats, humor is still humor. The fact is that this guy is not funny to anybody but himself. You can tell by the way the audience barely responds. I laugh at almost anything but I just don't laugh at this guy.

1. Am I the only DU'er who hasn't watch this train wreck?
It sure sounds like one. MSNBC is grasping at straws it seems. I'm still pissed they took Phil off the air.

2. yeah, ever since he went over to the dark side
he's worthless. I used to enjoy some of his rants in the early nineties, but he's gone now, and there's no goin' back. When he bottoms out of the repug news show circuit, he's done.

3. I agree completely
His show on CNBC (not sure if they cancelled it yet) is embarrassing to watch. They guy cracks jokes that nobody laughs at besides one of the producer. For you So Cal people, it kind of reminds me of the late Wally George. I'll see if anyone knows what I am talking about.

14. I realize that! No problem
CNBC is so under the radar sometimes, I get them confused. Besides, MSNBC doesn't know what the hell they are anymore.

7. I watched a few minutes of it just out of curiosity.
It was kind of pathetic in that his crew were the only ones laughing at his "jokes". He is all washed up when the election is over.

8. Strange evolution...
His first major stand-up special in 1987 was one of the funniest things I had ever seen. I watched it repeatedly and pissed my pants a little each time. Of course, I was in college and high most of the time so that may explain some of his appeal.

What in God's name has happened to this prick? He moved from a cooly detached and slightly bitter sarcasm to full raging, ugly anger interrupted only by his furious jerking-off when he comes up with an even more obscure and strained analogy than his last one. Infuriating, yes, but also a little sad because he used to be one of my favorites.

Fuck you, Dennis.

10. You said it. That is why I don't want to watch.
I believe he's letting his inner self show.
