Dennis Miller: "700K new jobs in 3 months and Bush isn't getting credit"

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

"The economy is doing GREAT and no one is giving Bush any credit! Why IS that?"

One possible reason, given by a member of the "Varsity Panel" who's on the Bush payroll (sorry, didn't get the name, but the replay is on CNBC at 9:00 PM Pacific time):

"Bad news sells. Good news doesn't."

On edit: NBC's Ron Ensana said that while "some" of the jobs are temp jobs, and military jobs, the tech sector is also coming back "strong." People feel good about their own finances but when asked about the economy they feel concern.

Miller said something like this in response: (and this is not an EXACT quote)..."I don't even know what "the economy" is!!!!"

You spin me right round, baby, right round, like a record baby, right round right round...

:evilgrin:

1. maybe because using accounting...still 1.8 million net loss of jobs

since that bozo took office.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

8. Watch the replay...

...Miller and the "Varsity Panel" claimed that we have gained over 1 million (I think they might have thrown out "1.5 million") jobs "over eight months."

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

2. Better answer:

NY Post pointed out, recently, that the entire premise upon which those job numbers are predicated is a sham. A complete fiction.

The NY Post. Dig it.

Fuck that limp-licking loser. He will soon be doing schtick for kids parties.

16. That's his opinion...

People started complaining about this model a year after the current benchmark was put in place.

And if you believe the net birth/death model is a "sham" then I hope you're also willing to concede that 480,000 jobs were created in January because the birth/death model subtracted 321,000 jobs.

3. Please remove the plug from DM's ass so

he will deflate and go da fuck away!!!

4. The new workers at McDonalds don't read the newspaper

[Walt Starr]

19. Of course not, they're too busy working that second job at WalMart

and trying to figure out how to get health care and still eat.

[coloradodem2005]

5. Gee....

...maybe because the jobs are mostly sales and customer service and low-end part-time, temp jobs while most people are still displaced because of Bush's policies.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

10. Not according to Ron Ensana...

...please see the edit I made to my original post. Only "some" of the jobs suck.

:evilgrin:

[alcuno]

13. Ron Insana is a flat taxer.

Beware of any words coming out of his mouth.

[coloradodem2005]

14. Oh!

Only some of the jobs suck. Well that makes a world of difference. I am assuming that 80% to 90% of the jobs we lost after Clinton were good jobs. So, just because some are temp, does that mean that the ones that are not are not only part-time or are shit? Now that makes things so much better. <sarcasm>

6. I'm sorry. Dennis WHO?

[RandomKoolzip]

7. I suggest Dennis read Charles Krauthammer's op ed piece

in, I believe, Time magazine last week.

According to noted conservative dickcheese Krautpacker, the president deserves neither credit nor blame for the condition of the economy. Clinton, he said, deserves credit for "getting out of the way" of the capatalists and marketers of 90's internet boom, but not for the boom itself. Basically, this was just another conservative buttplug covering his ass in regards to supporting a "conservative" president who's spending like Imelda Marcos on an ether binge.

You can be damn sure if Clinton were president now, Krathammer and Miller both would be riding his pink Arkansas ass.

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

11. Oooooo...

"Spending like Imelda Marcos on an ether binge". Style points for you, Bubba!!!

I would have used "Ibogaine and Cane Toad Sweat", but that's just me. ;-)

[RandomKoolzip]

15. See, ANYONE can "do" Dennis Miller.

Just name-drop an historical figure, add in a hip drug reference, wiggle your hair, look smug/drunk, and voila!

It's like this: ______(Name of current politician) is acting like a ______(name of illegal drug)-crazed version of _______(name of historical figure).

It's the Dennis Miller Mad Lib! Anyone can do it! Have fun, kids!

[markses]

17. Me likee

Dennis Kucinich is acting like an ayahuasca-crazed version of Caesar Chavez.

Funky funky Bu-Dop. Numbah Ten Formula.

[RandomKoolzip]

21. Ted Kennedy is acting like a yage-crazed version of Alexander Pope.

See? It's easy!

A variation: ___________ is ________ing like __________ on a _________ binge. Fill in the blanks! I did! See the above posts! The DM formula, patented and available to anyone with a mouth!

All I need is an eight o'clock shadow, a facial tic, Dick Cheney's wormy member in my craw, and five cancelled TV shows, and I'm like SOOoo Dennis Miller, baby!

[markses]

23. Do you mean to say

A little learning is a dangerous thing;
Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring:
There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
And drinking largely sobers us again.

[BabsSong]

9. Obviously with Bush's numbers going down on every subject

matter, the people are not buying the jobs crap. They see the galloping sending jobs to outsourcing, they worry about their own, they see more and more lay-offs, they know the "jobs" are shit jobs with lousy wages and no benefits, they know more and more immigrants are being let in to compete with them for the jobs that are left, they see gas going through the roof and shrinking their own paychecks, they know interest rates are going up and the stock market is going down..............they know Bush is a lying, arrogant bastard who is jerking them around.

[lancdem]

12. Also, I read somewhere that income growth

is not happening.

[Octafish]

18. Now THAT'S funny.

Hey Dennis Miller! You stink!

[mhr]

20. Dennis, No One Believes The Numbers! Did You Ever Stop To Think About That

eom

[beanball]

22. Dennis and his

twin A----,Zell, a laugh a minute.

[x-g.o.p.er]

24. Why care what Miller says? Only 54 people watch his show anyways...

He probably has more people employed to put the show on the air than people who actually watch it.

Isn't a 0.1 in the Nielsen ratings the definition of "miserable failure", too?
