Who saw Dennis Miller trying to clown Obama on Leno?

[EraOfResponsibility]

criticizing him for telling people to live within their means while he's smoking cigarettes, he said. Fuck you, Dennis.

[sandnsea]

1. Cigarettes are within Obama's means

Just sayin'.

[Wickerman]

2. Not me, I had the TV on Leno simply because the local news ended

and it was still there. I heard the sound of Miller on my TV and switched the channel. I regret that I looked up and saw that fat fuck of faded Lounge Lizard for a brief moment. My eyes still burn.

[bluedawg12]

3. Dennis, your career jumped the shark like 200 years ago.

Hellooo Mr. Yesterday.

[Jennicut]

4. I thought Obama quit anyways. Besides, no conservatives ever complained about any of

Bush's personal habits....though maybe they should have.

[EraOfResponsibility]

6. Exactly n/m

[Urban Prairie]

5. "Half the people in the country subsidizing the other half"

No, much better 95% of the people subsidizing the wealthiest 5% huh, Miller??

ASSHOLE!!!

:grr:

[Elwood P Dowd]

7. He has a great face for radio.

Fat, ugly, gross looking, and not very funny. Perfect fit for obscure repuke talk show host job.

[Colobo]

8. That guy doesn't know what being funny is. I find 99% of his jokes lame.

[Stellabella]

9. Leno's a jerk, and lazy.

Same with Miller.

[grantcart]

28. Your wrong about Leno. While I don't find him particularly funny he is very hard working

He has never lived off any of the money he has made from The Tonight Show. Every weekend he is on the road doing 2-300 shows a year. He lives off his stand up income and has put aside the hundreds of millions that he has made from the show. I have gotten the impression listening to him talk about it that he would like to do some major philanthropy at some point.

You may not like his humor but by no stretch of the imagination is he lazy.

[Stellabella]

29. I mean lazy intellectually.

He falls back on fat jokes, and milked the Clinton/Lewinsky thing for years and years. I don't find his humor at all funny or interesting; it's quite lame.

[Danger Mouse]

10. Leno and Miller, two talentless unfunny hacks.

They're perfect for each other.

[tomreedtoon]

22. THANK YOU! You pointed out TWO NAKED EMPERORS!

Now, Dennis Miller has been noted as being unfunny for about two decades. He wasn't all that funny on Saturday Night Live, where he was an egotistical schmuck who only did the news segment because he was unable to act as a human being in sketches. Okay, that's a given.

But Leno...I've been upset by that man for a long time. He is NOT an entertainer. He stands up there and pontificates. He is making a magnificent salary, but he sounds like a guy who stands up at a wedding in a Shriner hall to make some bad jokes about the bride and groom.

And can you believe it: Leno is getting a five-night-a-week "variety" show in prime time! Watch the crash! See the mangled bodies! Watch the viewers tuning away to watch something, anything else!

[joshcryer]

11. "I don't like hearing about personal responsiblity from a guy who can't quit smoking."

Close paraphrase, just said it in the midwest.

[lutefisk]

14. In 2003, did he say "I don't like hearing about war from guys who never fought one"?

Or, "I don't like hearing about courage from a coward" when talking about AWOL Bush?

Or, "I don't like hearing about courage from a guy with 5 draft deferments" when talking about Cheney?

[Blue_Tires]

23. way back in the day he did have his Clinton 'draft dodging' cracks...

[hileeopnyn8d]

24. Good point

I certainly don't remember hearing him say those things. In fact, I believe he was one of those that thought/said anyone who criticized the war or Bush, was a traitor.

BTW - your avatar is mesmerizing.

[DemocracyInaction]

26. lutefisk---

For god's sake it just took me 5 minutes to kill the ant and was ready to rip the house apart and get out the bug spray. No way in 18 inches of snow (last night) I already have ants in here!! DO NOT do that to me again......damn kids.....get off my lawn.........

[ShortnFiery]

17. That's sadly IRONIC coming from a guy (Dennis Miller) who seemingly "can't quit eating too much."

What a buffoon! :crazy:

[appleannie1]

12. Never watch Leno and cannot stand Miller so a double whammy.

[shellgame26]

13. Dennis Miller is just doing

what so many so-called conservative T.V and radio pundits are doing. Pretending to be conservatives for the money. The more conservative you behave the more money you're likely to make. He started out as a mediocre comedian then when he realized his career was heading south he jumped on the conservative bandwagon. He is a just a media whore (no offense to sex workers).

[mikiturner]

15. What was the audience response to this nonsense? nt

[City Lights]

16. Missed it.

Thankfully. ;-) Leno has sucked for awhile and Miller has never been funny, IMHO. The only time I tune in to Leno is when I find out someone I like will be making an appearance, and Leno is so far off my radar, that sometimes even then I forget to watch.

[mwb970]

18. I cannot *stand* Dennis Miller.

He is not even the slightest bit funny, nor insightful, nor wise, nor...well, anything. I can't imagine why he keeps turning up in the media.

:shrug:

[KurtNYC]

19. Dennis Miller is soooo 20 years ago.

no really. it was 20 years ago that he was on SNL and then..... ?

[lunatica]

20. I saw him on something in passing and noticed he was cracking himself up

He still thinks he's funny, so I guess he's got one fan at least.

Not to worry, he'll come to another crashing wreck of useless humanity again.

[graywarrior]

21. One cancels out the other

Therefore, they're non-existent

[WinkyDink]

25. Dennis is on the wrong side of the general populace here. Run to Rush, Dennis.

[Phx_Dem]

27. What do cigarettes have to do with anything? And when did

Dennis witness this alleged smoking? Must have been while he was visiting the President at the White House.

Miller is a radical wingnut hasbeen who was never funny in the first place. Good to know some things never change.
