Dennis Miller Q: Why has your humor taken a turn toward the conservative? (Endorses Giuliani)

[Flabbergasted]

A: They bombed those two buildings, remember? I woke up the next day and had an epiphany. I want our guy to go kill terrorists. It's that simple. People think it's some big shift. I can't believe that a good portion of my country doesn't believe that as well. Not only do they fly planes into buildings, they wire up their own kids to bombs. You could've gone into the bunker with Hitler and Goering and suggested they wire their kids to explode, and they'd have said, "Hey, let's slow down. That's a little crazy."

Q: In a sense, does your career mirror Winston Churchill's notion that if you're not a liberal at 20, you have no heart; if you're not a conservative at 40, you have no brain?

A: That's exactly the process I've gone through. I'm 53, and I'm a pragmatist. We watched punks blow up our buildings and, what, I'm now supposed to sit around and think about how we wronged the punks? Things get cut and dried as you get older. And what about the people who never, ever change the way they think about things? Those are the people I slide away from at cocktail parties.

Q: You've taken shots at Barbra Streisand for her liberal activism. Why?

A: Barbra Streisand is an ungodly talent, but she went into the (show business) bubble at 16. And she reflects that in all the shallow, typical ways. She has the political beliefs of a sixth-grader.

Q: When it comes to political thought, which authors do you read?

A: I read Charles Krauthammer, Thomas Friedman and Mark Steyn. Personally, I think Krauthammer is a genius.

Q: Handicap the most prominent presidential candidates for the 2008 election:

A: John McCain — I love him and (his service as a Vietnam POW) is one of the most noble, courageous acts ever. But he's 73. I want to see him ride off into the sunset and enjoy the rest of his life.

Rudy Giuliani — That's who I'm voting for. He's a tough guy. And I don't care if he's been married three times.

Barack Obama — Sweet kid. If I were 19 years old, I'd vote for him. But if Michael Corleone was right about keeping your friends close and your enemies closer, he better spot-weld a Clinton to each hip.

Hillary Clinton — She's boring, basically. I read her book last year and she said she had no idea Bill was running around on her. Really? I'm not sure you're smart enough to be my president.

Al Gore — At some point, he'll come riding over the hill like he's the cavalry. But it won't take long for everyone to figure out he's not Forrest Tucker. He's Larry Storch, and he's got his hat on sideways.

1. Personally, I never thought he was a bit funny, no matter which way his political beliefs lean.

[MadMaddie]

2. He was never funny on Saturday Night Live and he even more

dull as a political Hack.

[Bjornsdotter]

3. I guess Miller never heard

...of the Goebbels children.

Miller is an idiot.

Cheers

[The Count]

4. His "authors" are pundits and the 9.11 epiphany is a lie - he's been kissing *'s

ass ever since he stole the election.
Also, you did note the threat to ridicule Gore should he enter the race - he does speak for his masters (irrelevant as he is, BFEE is petting him occasionally)

[IsItJustMe]

5. He's an ass wipe. Never laughed at one of his jokes. And he sure the hell isn't funny now that he

has come out of the right wing closet.

[NYCGirl]

6. He had a great show on HBO once upon a time, before he got that wide yellow streak

down his back.

[AshevilleGuy]

7. All the way back to SNL, he only struck me as obnoxious.

He just has that asshole look on his face. x(

[AlCzervik]

8. i'm going to Las Vegas this weekend with the girls and we were trying to figure

out if we want to see a show or not so we're all on a conference call and i have the vegas entertainment web site up and i start running through the list, i get to Dennis Miller and i hear 5 groans, it was hilarious---"So i'll slide you all over into the no column then?" We ending up picking a female impersonator show, it's supposed to be very good.

[TwilightGardener]

9. I used to like him (we're both from Pittsburgh). It's nice that he couldn't

say anything bad about Obama. I think that's why he is going to be our nominee.

[yellowcanine]

10. Except Churchill never said that particular bromide ya dumb shit.

http://www.winstonchurchill.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=112

The Churchill Centre says there is no evidence he ever said it.

Not that I would expect Dennis Miller to know that. He is too busy being "deep" and reading Krauthammer.

[yellowcanine]

11. Dennis Miller calls Barbara Streisand "shallow"?

Pot, meet kettle.

[AlCzervik]

12. "cha cha baby" tis deep----no?

[NormanYorkstein]

13. Dennis who?

:shrug:

[FiveGoodMen]

14. I wish those buildings had fallen ON Dennis Miller.

Fuck the worthless fuck!

[rpannier]

15. It's amazing people still interview this guy like he's relevant at all

He's been irrelevant since he began his career.
If it wasn't for 24-hour 'news' networks he'd have been relegated to the junkheap years ago.

[slampoet]

16. Why did he change? Two Words "Barry Crimmins"

Barry Crimmins used to write for the Old Dennis Miller Show that was on in the early 90's

He was part of the Boston Ding Ho comedy scene and now writes for the Randy Rhodes show.

http://www.barrycrimmins.com/

His website has a lot of great lines.

[ProudDad]

17. There's nothing worse than

a whiny right-winger.

What an ass...

[SaveElmer]

18. So it all boils down to one thing...and one thing only...

What he is saying is...

Is that he is a fucking idiot!!!

[zulchzulu]

19. Gee, just the other day I was wondering who that has-been Dennis Miller was supporting...

:sarcasm:

He was never funny. Period. Now he has the audacity to think what he says is somehow interesting...

[oasis]

20. Miller digs Krauthammer.

'nuff said. :puke:
