hell hath no furry? or fury? Hell, I don’t remember anymore.

Hey, I need your help getting this speck out of my eye. Soon as you yank that log out of yours, ok?

Furiously deriding people in such a way never makes the point you wish it to. Do you believe for an instant that calling someone an “alleged Christian” will make them suddenly sit up and think “wow, I’ve been blowing it all this time, I really need to straighten up and fly right”?

There is a lightyear of difference between having a point, and making it effectively. If you think that someone here is “desperate to be liked by the left”, can you also think that they will repent in a fit of guilt over your name-calling?

I would agree that Dennis Miller doesn’t represent my values, but I never invited him into my midst. I wouldn’t be likely to watch a show of his simply because he tends to the vulgar and indecent, things I avoid no matter the politics of the person involved.

The fact that he has often been MISTAKEN FOR A CONSERVATIVE, continues to rankle him and at every opportunity, like his most recent Hannity and Colmes appearance, to distance himself from the conservative movement.

I’ll take your word for that, you obviously know much more about Dennis Miller’s current status than I do. I frankly don’t care what he calls himself as far as political labels, to me he is what he is.

All that said, a discussion regarding a humorous TV clip, on this non-religious blog site shouldn’t be subject to such a legalistic tirade. As my friends would say whenever someone got a bit too wound up, “Throttle back, Turbo”.

But I don’t really like him. When he had the recurring show on HBO, it was always apparent that he saw himself as well above his audience intellectually. Of course, for the most part that is true, but what he did with it was enjoy firing thoughts at them knowing they weren’t really keeping up, and being immensely smug about knowing it.

The only thing I sussed him for on his otherwise phenomenal show “Dennis Miller Live” was his ritual mistreatment of (and contempt for) his call-in guests, jumping on them even before judging whether they had a “worthy” (in his eyes) point to make. Always thought that was tacky.

Perhaps call-in guests never really suited his personality. Also, that segment always seemed contrived to me, terribly short (he also seemed to be rushing them off the phone) and never destined to work out in a show that had to accommodate him, his ego, [usually] a great guest, their ego, AND the good-natured calls from well-wishers inside 1/2 an hour. Maybe if Dennis had had 10 more minutes to fill, he’d have relaxed and been less of an a–hole. (But that’s just rank speculation :-)

I tried playing with the button above the box and all I got was a monitor covered in spit….

Instead of trying to figure out where some comic in Hollyweird stands, WHY DON’T YOU PEOPLE FIRST FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU STAND FOR?

A bunch of alleged Christians, welcoming sodomites into their midst, now the Foley scandal is tearing you a new one. Are you the “Christian” party or not? If so, READ A BIBLE AND GET A CLUE.. If not….STOP PRETENDING.

Matt the Media Whore called Miller a pseudo-conservative? Miller should wear that one with pride.

Anywho, gotta love a guy who can do color on Monday Night Football and pull out Chaucer or Dickens to explain the blood on the QBs pants.

I think AP alludes to the Rush Limbaugh kerfuffle with Miller, oui AP?

Just because…….

I agree it’s fun playing with the button above the box.

If my brains (both of them) go on strike IT’S YOUR FAULT!!!

But I don’t really like him. When he had the recurring show on HBO, it was always apparent that he saw himself as well above his audience intellectually. Of course, for the most part that is true, but what he did with it was enjoy firing thoughts at them knowing they weren’t really keeping up, and being immensely smug about knowing it.

This is also why he didn’t do well on Monday Night Football. Sports is an American subculture where you have Joe Six-pack who uses sports terms to euphemize ordinary events, like slam-dunk, shutout, strikeout, touchdown, personal foul, curveball, etc… Then here comes Dennis Miller as a color commentator describing his reaction to an unusual football play in terms of a scene from Hamlet. (He actually did that) He regularly quoted obscure movie lines and such, and I honestly can’t say if he thought a substantial portion of the viewing audience could relate, or if he was continuing his older behavior of proving he was the smartest guy in the room. Either way it was sure to be a short-lived job.

Now, all that said, his talent and humor are not to be questioned. As for Drudge busting Miller’s chops about his conservative bona fides, that stinks. Miller came from the hippie-drug 60′s, for him to make the Churchillian move to the right at all was a brave thing to do, and has cost him immeasurably in his professional life. I’ve seen many many “fake” liberal blogs done by conservatives, but I’ve never come across a parody right-wing blog. TV shows try to fake a conservative character all the time, but the stupidity of it is always painfully obvious. Miller isn’t faking it when he talks pro-gun, anti-big government, and pro-defense. If he was it would smell to high heaven.

Oh, it’s fun playing with these bunns buttons above the box.

Drudge called in when he was sitting in for Sean last year and read Miller the right act. He called him a fake conservative, etcetera.

And the cnbc thing that Miller did there for a while… I felt so bad for Dennis and how completely disrespectfully he was treated by that network. They made him do commercials for things like tires like in the olden days of television, and you could see his heart wasn’t in it. Dennis Miller is a national treasure and not a friggin’ monkey on a leash collecting pennies for their network.

Damn I wish his voice was out there right now ranting every week. I would love to hear what he’s got to say about all the stuff happening right now.

Hey Dennis! If you happen to read this, put up a subscription website and put all your content and rants and bypass the conventional broadcast system. It’s all eventually going to be usurped by internet content delivery shortly anyway. Might as well get a jump on things.

Especially after watching Rosy having hetero sex.
