LENO Has D.MILLER on Again
I don't know what to say. They've already been through DEAN, now CLARK. So much for his sticht being "political" but NOT "partisan".

1. I've always loved
Dennis Miller's wit. But, DUDE, he's gone off the charts with his conservative, kick some ass attitude. How sad.

2. not to worry
his new show will sink like the Titanic.


that is unless he is kept afloat just because he is a right wing propaganda spew machine. But THAT would never happen, would it.

4. Why people continue to watch Leno,
the Rethug tool, is beyond me. Just turn it off! IMHO, of course. :+

5. MILLER Just Dissed Southerners
There're Southern guests, who grow vines, and MILLER said, "That's where RIPPLE comes from." Clueless.

15. That's not a coincidence
One of D. Miller's producer's for his RNC promotion show was on the Gropinator's campaign staff or maybe is still affiliated with him.

It was nauseating to hear Leno and his audience yuk it up to D. Miller's adolescent-level insults of the Democratic candidates . . . jeez, couldn't he do better than "I'm going to use it as a doorbell chime". It was pretty lame.

It must suck to be Miller, after his failed attempts at a Hollywood career and wider-audience broadcasting he is reduced to being a RNC fundraiser- cirucuit clown and now the host of what is basically an RNC informercial. He's Jack Welch's little bitch now.

7. Dennis Miller Uberwhore
Lets face it, this guy knows who signs the paycheques.

His views, his wit his very being is nothing but a cynical construct.

Al Franken on Letterman at the same time talking about taking a chance on finally cracking the rightwing hold on talk radio.

Which one of these two guys shows some guts with his convictions?

9. Starve the beasts
No question; both the Miller boys, Dennis & Zell, know there's more money to be made -- more easily -- by shoveling horseshad to the Faux News drones.

But his show will likely go the route of Savage's. These guys get so much sunshine blown up their posteriors by sycophants that it doesn't take long for them to overstep television's acceptable bounds.

But, if not, has the left started a "boycott" website, yet, so we can start identifying companies who support the progressive agenda and begin starving the WalMarts of the world?

8. I used to like Dennis Miller, but his comedy is just about cruelty now.
It's hard to find any humor in blind loyalty and jingoism. Comedy just doesn't work well as fawning idolatry.

10. Dennis Miller is lame
He's been doing his same old SNL News routine ever since he left the show. He just found an audience he can pander to because he can't cut it as a real comedian.

16. Agree
His career was going nowhere until he started pandering to the right
wingers. I wonder if he even believes in his own BS.

17. Yes, Miller really believes his own crap
That's always the last 'out' that Dems give to right-wingers, that maybe they don't really believe what they're saying. But they do - Miller, Coulter, all of them. You can tell by their tone.

Miller lost his decency and his audience, not coincidentally, about five or six years ago over Bill Clinton. Like right wingers all, he actually has the insane notion in his head that he's a more decent and honorable guy that Clinton is, when nothing could be more remote from the truth. He started building his comedy around that absurd concept and down he went. He tries to pretend that it was after 9-11 that he changed, exactly like the mainstream media has tried to pretend, but his final moral and ethical collapse happened well before that - during impeachment - just like with American corporate journalism.
