Well, Dennis Miller now makes it official that he's a RW shill

[Initech]

Saw a blurb in the LA Times (no link yet) that he'll be providing commentary for Hannity's show. Great, like that show needs another arrogant, unfunny blow-hard.

[tridim]

1. Is he bringing his monkey with him?

Or is he just using Colmbes?

[smokey nj]

2. Damn, did his career take a nose dive......

and I don't think this stint will last very long, Dennis Miller uses too many big words. He'll just confuse Hannity's fan base.

[merci_me]

3. Dennis who?

Jeez, I haven't heard his name in ages. Didn't know he was still around and if so, that anyone was listening anymore.

[Initech]

7. What the hell is a rant?

[BobRossi]

4. He has always been...

Nothing new here.

[Warren Stupidity]

5. What a career disaster his fascist makeover has been.

Is Dennis going to wake up one morning and wonder what the fuck he was thinking? The cosmic dope slap of the century is going to befall that sad sorry ass former wit.

[cool user name]

13. He's a fucking opportunist.

Should we ever get to being "leftwing," he'll magically become leftist.

He's a chameleon.

[WinkyDink]

35. He forgot that Fascists have no sense of humor. Joke's on him.

[MindMatter]

6. That's because comedians have to be funny

He was never funny, only sarcastic. That wears a bit thin on thinking people after awhile, so he's found a good home.

[MisterHowdy]

8. Dennis Miller is Ignorant

"George Bush has allowed us to respect the presidency again"
Thought he was being sarcastic.

[NMDemDist2]

9. welcome to DU MisterHowdy!

:hi:

[MisterHowdy]

11. Thank you

I have been reading the discussions here for quite some time.

Thought I would contribute a little.

[oasis]

16. Welcome Mister Howdy. Off topic, did you borrow your screen name from

the imaginary friend in "The Exorcist"?.:shrug:

[MisterHowdy]

18. Yes.

The most creepy movie of all time
At least I thought so.

Neat that you remembered that.

[Initech]

15. He actually said that?

:spray:

That might be the funniest thing I've ever heard him say!

[MisterHowdy]

19. He actually did.

I think he's crossed the threshold of sinicism.
Into.....insanity.

[chrisau214]

10. Dennis Miller = Ratings Death

This should bring Hannity's show to a flaming end within a year.





Chris

[Drum]

23. True enough...he almost brought an end to football on TV as well.

;)

[sgxnk]

12. millers' conversion

iirc, it was the voucher issue that pushed dennis miller into the conservative camp

that was the proverbial straw for him

[Warren Stupidity]

20. school vouchers?

I'm sorry but does he even have kids?

I thought he was one of the 9-11 lobotomy converts.

[sgxnk]

22. i saw an interview with him

where he was speaking of his political path.

he said that the issue that really caused his movement towards libertarian conservatism was the failure of dems to support vouchers

[gatorboy]

14. It's to bad.

Hannity is the type that Miller would've happily dragged across the hot coals 10 years ago..

[Buzz Clik]

17. Miller shoved his nose up Bush's ass about 5 years ago.

I can't remember the last time I laughed at something he said.

[KT2000]

21. His schtick was the "egghead comic"

but that was long ago. Now he has embraced the mindless reactionary schtick. What a loser.

[Initech]

25. David Cross pulls off the "egghead comic" schtick far better

than Dennis Miller ever could!

[KT2000]

28. I think that is because

David Cross really is intelligent. Miller was faking so long, he's probably relieved to give it up.

[Swamp Rat]

24. Dennis who?

[Ishoutandscream2]

26. Oh my God! That took me by surprise

Man, I can't stop laughing!

[Sabriel]

27. Confession time...

I actually used to find him funny when he was on HBO long ago. I'm in therapy for it now.

What happened, Dennis?

[GreenTea]

29. Very pathetic-He has to feed his family-Man did he ever fuck up big time.

The republicans, ever so thoughtful, are throwing out some crumbs, which Miller is gladly gathering up to to feed his family (and career) to try and insult us with, and pretending we are the dupes...So sad, because he's not stupid, he just jumped the ship...the monetary ship and now he's stuck forever, having to continue his groveling and begging for a piece of republican action...."I'm on your side" so you owe me...and went out on the limb to kiss ass. Now please, give me a job...So pathetic!!! I hope his family is proud & can eat well...piece of shit...Republican!!!

[Rex]

30. Dennis who? Never heard of the smuck.

Miller, Miller...nope don't ring no bells. Is that like Miller Time?

[Drewskie]

31. Miller was cool in the 80's...

and that's about it.

[Binka]

34. Big Hair Was Cool In The 80's So Was Spandex

Miller has always been a fucking assclown.

[Norwood]

32. I cant believe I ever thought this guy was funny

[osaMABUSh]

33. This is awesome - check out dennismiller.com

Thought I'd see what his website had to say. http://www.dennismiller.com/

I guess he's selling furniture now.

[Warren DeMontague]

36. Really? I thought he was waiting tables again.

Or he had a day gig as Goofy down in Anaheim.

[Vinca]

37. He wasn't always a knee pad wearer, was he?

I remember when I thought he was really funny and wasn't aware he was a . . . choke, choke . . . Republican. His downfall began after he got a mouthful of refrigerator white teeth. I don't know what significance that has, but that was the timing. Maybe his audience became so distracted by the dazzling (yet somehow creepy) smile, they forgot to listen to the jokes.

[osaMABUSh]

38. His career is sooo pathetic now

http://www.officialdennismiller.com/

From his offical website DM has nothing on his calendar since March 2005, his message board and blog is closed down, and his last actual gig was Jan 2006 hosting same lame awards show; oh and he has no apperances

[Solly Mack]

39. There was still doubt?

[screembloodymurder]

40. The man has no talent. None. He's not funny. He's not witty.

How did he get on SNL? How did he get on the NFL? What credentials does he have as a political commentator?

[RamboLiberal]

41. I was about to post this - yep rat is heading back to the Rat Den

Here's the story link: http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-et-quick5.5aug05,1,6761826.story

Comedian and actor Dennis Miller is joining Fox News as a contributor to "Hannity & Colmes" this fall, according to a network executive. Miller, who did a stint on "Hannity & Colmes" in 2003 and then had his own eponymous show on CNBC, will begin weighing in on news and politics beginning Sept. 13. He will also provide commentary on the Fox News website.

Meanwhile, CNN has hired as a contributor Alina Fernandez, the exiled daughter of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro and a critic of her father's policies. Fernandez, who left Cuba in 1993, is based in Miami.

[RedStateShame]

42. Look, I don't mean to go on a rant or anything...

but why is it that the entertainers who happen to do the most conservative work are the out of work ones? Funny, but when "Dennis Miller" used to share paragraphs with "Pogo Ball," "acid wash jeans," and "Tears for Fears," I don't remember any rallying for freeing Ollie North or letting up on Clarence Thomas. But, magically, countless commercials and 2 or 3 failed talk shows later, you can't even get bumped up from the 20 minute wait for seating at the Hometown Buffet, and NOW you're all mad at liberal Hollywood, for its awful lack of morals, and how its derisive nature tears us apart, and who the hell is this "Federline" guy who's allowed into clubs that used to let you stride in, Gordon Gecko hair and all?

Because it sure as hell has nothing to do with your wise career decisions. I mean, "Monday Night Football?" Hell, I haven't seen a decision that poorly made since Michael Caine skipped the Oscars to film "Jaws 3." What, did you really think that what you brought to Weekend Update(um....Bryll Creme?) could be magically transformed beside John Madden. Here's a little sidenote, cha-cha, people laugh at him when he's unintentionally funny, which I'm sure you'd still take the same way Jim Belushi takes autograph requests from clueless sorts who don't know John died.

Secondly, CNBC?! A talk show on CNBC, known for comedy mastermind Maria Bartiromo? Just for shits and giggles, maybe we could run that show and Jay Mohr's failed ESPN talk show on a loop and see if we could create a contained black hole with all that sucking on one plane.

But, hey, this is just my opinion, and I know that when you were saying "I am outta here," you know that "here" meant "cultural relevance." Say hi to Bocephus when he drops by to see Hannity, too.

[Jack_Dawson]

45. Bravo

"Cha Cha" LOL

:hi:

[WI_DEM]

43. What a pathetic has-been--taking a bottom of the barrel gig!

[Ganja Ninja]

44. That was official a long time ago.

This just confirms his career as a comedian is officially dead. He's now playing Ed McMahon to Sean Hannity's Johny Carson.

[wicket]

46. I thought it was pretty official when he was campaigning for Bush in '04

He's such a good little fascist.
