Could somebody explain Dennis Miller (5.00 / 5) (#15)
by dianem on Wed Apr 30, 2008 at 07:24:18 PM EST
I do not understand his appeal. He was supposed to be a comedian, but he was never funny and now he's some kind of pundit, but he knows nothing about politics. He has no personality that I can see. Why is this man not selling used cars in Biloxi?

I watch Fox but change the channel alot.  Miller is one of those times.  I saw the two female talking heads say 'masterful interview, she did great' and 'if she can handle BO, she can handle all of the rogue nations out there, she did great' and I quickly change the channel because I know what's coming next.

that Barack Obama and Bill O'Reilly have the same initials.  Wonder what O'Reilly's middle name is.

Unless you meant if she can handle body odor in which case never mind.

the same as Obama's - the middle name that shall not be mentioned.

Maybe it's Hitler.

He's not selling used cars (5.00 / 1) (#41)

because no one would buy them if he tried.  Selling cars actually takes some intelligence.

But, when I think back to then, whether he voted R or D, I think his humor was Reagan Republican (anti-government humor that characterized the era). It is just that his Republican ideology changed with times. We now know that electoral success (and coups) tend to make Republicans deadly, authoritarian, nasty, and humorless over time!

How pathetic? They had to PAY his studio audience (none / 0) (#55)

... and they still couldn't fill the place (at his short-lived talk show.)

Not surprisingly, that wire story drew the biggest laughs that show ever got.

he is doing comedy on Bill O'Reilly which for a former superstar from SNL is the equivalent of used selling cars in Biloxi.
