Looks like Bush has got it in the bag now…:rolleyes:
He’s got the warm and witty Dennis Miller on his side.

Now who here didn’t know Sen Byrd was in the klan? Amazing he didn’t mention the Sen Byrd has renounced his klan days.
Does Miller think anyone at all looks to him for their politcal ideas?
You think Dennis Miller is bad? Dr. Ruth posed for pictures with President Bush!
So, um, what’s the great debate here?
I find it odd that Dennis Miller always liked to skewer the right-wing Bible belt mentality and now he seems to be a champion for the conservative cause. But hey, one thing that REALLY sticks in my craw is the fact that he can afford the luxury of being a 150% super-patriot because there’s no draft !!! YAY another damned chicken-hawk. Plus, I think he has NO military service whatsoever, and he was born in late 1953 meaning he would have been of draft age about 2 months before 1) the Vietnam War ended and 2) the draft ended.
I wonder what his politics would be like if he had been sent to Vietnam and had to fight in that shit-hole while the elite right-wing types took a pass?
Yep, another damned “armchair patriot, summer soldier, sunshine patriot, but don’t send ME to do the fighting citizen”.
I don’t know how debateable it is but Dennis Miller is definitely a prick. He really hasn’t been funny since he left SNL, his HBO show was just a lot of snide, liberal-bashing crap and he sucked hard on Monday Night Football.
His career is basically over now so I guess he’s trying to get some free pub.
He supported Ross Perot too, so that tells you what a political genius he is.
Gee I posted after just seeing the starting thread. I thought the debate was how EASY it is to be super-patriotic when you don’t have to take any chances, make any sacrifices, do any fighting, etc.
I think that is a GREAT topic for Americans to think about during this Independence Day.
This is rich. One celebrity tries to sneak away from the herd. Suddenly we should not care what they think. 
Thank goodness I can continue to ignore Tim, Alec, and Bar without opprobrium. If I must sacrifice Dennis Miller to rid myself of Barbara Streisand, hand me the stone knife and step back.
FWIW…I disregard the liberal entertainers too.
Is this the PIT?
In fact, it appears you disregard them so much that you don’t start threads about them.
And of course I’m still wondering what the deabte is. Whether Dennis Miller should give Reeder a break?
I think the Pubbies have taken a viper to their ice-cold bosom. I just hear a line attributed to him, such that since GeeDubya is so dim, he surrounds himself with intelligence like the hole surrounds itself with doughnut.
Look, the Right needs some sort of jester, and toot fuckin’ sweet! Who have they got? Mallard Fillmore? P.J. O’Rourke ain’t too bad, I always read his stuff, but how many times is he going to tell me he used to be a hippy but now he has a drinking problem. That ain’t progress, Peej. Ann (Anne of Green Goebbels) Coulter is funny as hell, but she doesn’t seem to realize it.
At any rate, lets be generous. Ol’ Dennis has pretty much shot is wad as a giggle-flinger. What the hell, the need is so great. They can have Chevy Chase as well.
Debate: Dennis Miller vs. Boomer Esiason in a steel cage death match.
Who wins?
Who cares?
Miller is the reason I dont watch Leno.
I like Miller. He’s a comedian, so you have to realize that he’s going to exaperate everything. If that surprises you, and you can’t take it, you need to loosen up more than a bit. I also like Bill Maher (on the other end of the specturm).
In fact, I would love to see a news analysis program like Firing Line hosted by those two guys. They wouldn’t let any guest BS his way through an argument, and they’d remind us all not to take ourselves too seriously. Both of these guys are smart, quick, and witty.
Form the left, I’m Bill Maher. And from the right, I’m Dennis Miller.
Hell yeah!
Great idea. How do we pitch it and who do we pitch it to? It’ll work and it’ll sell.
Of COURSE Dennis Miller is an asshole! He disagrees with you! The modus operandi of the left is to HATE everyone who doesn’t agree with them. All us right-wing types are monsters who want to enslave women, eat the poor, and enslave the minorities, after all.
But for comedians we do have:
Dennis Miller
Larry Miller
P.J O’Rourke
Dave Barry
Norm Macdonald
Drew Carey
And plenty of others. Who’s the left got? Michael Moore and Al Franken? Both of them stopped being funny about five years ago. George Carlin? He’s descended into self-parody.
Sam Stone

From the left: No, we just aren’t as likely to exclude women and minorities from our lists. 
Or to preview our posts…
Which list?
