Gallows Humor
Gallows Humor
by Bob Patterson | Nov 7 2007



Dennis Miller played Keith Olbermann’s Monday rant about torture and found it to be a source of mirth and had quite a few laughs.

Miller, on his radio program heard in Los Angeles on Tuesday evening, was gleeful that President Bush could cause Olbermann so much displeasure. He added the comment that Bush would soon be on his way to retirement in Crawford and that his critics “never laid a glove on him.”

Miller is blissfully unaware of the old military maxim: Shit rolls downhill.

Hitler was never tried for war crimes, but members of his staff were.

Laughing Boy might want to obtain a copy of G. M. Gilbert’s book Nuremberg Diary. Could Miller be so crass that he could use it as a humor anthology?

Just for laughs, we pulled out our Signet Book paperback edition and wonder if Miller might want to see some of the material which he might consider as hilarious punch lines.

Rudolf Hess’s reaction to the charges (written in English) was: “I can’t remember.” (page 10) Isn’t that called the Alberto defense, these days?

2. Hitler Took the Coward's Way Out
Hitler decided to kill himself rather than face the consequences of his criminal activity.

May the day soon come when W and Cheney save us the costs of a trial.

3. I see Miller has another sports show on a cable channel coming.
I saw a trailer ad for it the other day. He was talking about Osama bin Laden buying the Dallas Cowboys.:puke:

Failed comedian.
Failed sportscaster.
Failed talk show host.

Miserable Failure.
