The angry and unfunny quasi-intellectual shtick conservative comedian gets ass handed to him.

Dennis Miller slams Michelle Wolf on Twitter — then gets roasted worse than Sarah Sanders


It’s been basically accepted that once-beloved comedian Dennis Miller went through a serious personality change on 9/11, and that he’s been a bit of a reactionary since.

He became so enraged by the attack on the World Trade Centers that he literally could not talk.
.
.
“What a horrid human being Michelle Wolf is. I’m going to read up on her over the next couple of days and I will have a few brutally mean jokes about her by Wednesday,” he tweeted early Sunday morning.




Miller is now trending on Twitter, as people post “brutally mean” jokes about him—with less than five days to do so.

My question is: how did a group that can’t out-think George Castanza get so much power???

<snip>

It's all been built on arcane references, precision of language, and a reasonably imperturbable nature on TV. The basics are there, but I've been getting paid, making a living and having fun with it for next to 25 years and you know that blows my mind that I've stuck with it. That's my favorite part of showbiz, hangin' in knowing that something good is coming along. ...When I was starting, I thought I'd have to have a sword-in-the-stone moment of inspiration where I'd have to lay around for it to be visited on me. SNL was just a machine, and if you screwed two or three 'Updates' up, guess what, they have someone new and ready to go. So I learned how to pick up any newspaper and have five usable jokes in five minutes. "I don't ever wanna get self-important. I'm a comedian, and I want everyone in my life to know it. The stream-of-consciousness style is my monkey trick. I sit there, I watch stuff, and cultural references bump into my head. I watched a lot of TV when I was a kid."

Five minutes is now five days? Is his ghost-writer on a bender?

Dennis Miller not only has a pumpkin noggin atop his shoulders but he has the most freakishly small mitts I've seen on a grown man. Absolutely tiny.

The whole GOP is now a party of lightweights, frauds, and plagiarists. They haven't had a good idea since Heritage proposed Obamacare in 1984. None of their 'intellectuals' is half as intelligent as any of the top Dem public thinkers: Stiglitz, Foer, Krugman, Beutler, Marshall, Piketty, Fallows, Dionne, Ornstein, Michelle Goldberg, David Remnick, Zeynep Tufeckzi, Charles Blow . GOP 'intellectuals' - Noonan, McArdle, Douthat, and it goes down from there... are talking-point regurgitators and operatives.

I have no idea why he ever gained any fame. I never thought he was funny even when he was supposedly a liberal. I suspect that during his SNL days, most of his material was written by someone else as his delivery always seemed off and too rehearsed. The best thing he had going for him was he could act like an asshole, the reason being he didn't have to act.

Not a mention from Dennis about why Mr. Trump couldn't make the correspondents dinner, for the second year in a row?
The old Dennis would have had a field day with that.
