If Rasmussen’s right, this should resonate broadly.

Nailed it!

Anyone know when and where I can pick up Miller’s radio show in the DC area?

Apparently Dennis Miller and Bill Maher are BFF. I’d love to be in room when those two start talking, well, anything.

Maher’s such a disappointment – for someone obviously intelligent, his take on pretty much anything religious, scientific or political borders on the insane, and that’s on a good day. Although to be fair he has some smoking hot girlfriends.

All politicians, especially conservatives, secretly hate free-speech and want to control the media, which is why Fox news exist. Conservatives bash the MSM, to marginalize and intimidate them.

Can I borrow your crystal ball when you are done with it?

I have some secrets I need to look in to.

We bash the media because it is obviously biased but pretends it is not. We could accept their motives if they were honest about them. It’s the “truthiness” of it all.

Our founding fathers used the media to advance their agenda or attack an opponent. It’s nothing new.

The libs are just going to have to get over the fact that more people share the views of Fox media than the other networks. Which is why they hate Fox.

Anywho, great job Mr Miller. Sometimes, uncomfortable things need to be said. It must shock the dems when they are on the receiving end.

DWB on June 11, 2007 at 10:11 AM

Unlike 99.9% of all conservatives, who haven’t a sense of humor or talent, Miller has some, but he was just being a jerk now.

99.9%!! Wow!! No wonder you libs are so fiscally genius! You’re such wonderkind with numbers! Stick with what you do well, Libtard; painting crappy “togetherness” themed murals in urban areas, rasing taxes, and using puppetry to make a political statement. Leave the numbers to the grown-ups.

foxforce91 on June 11, 2007 at 10:28 AM

Why is he not running in 08?

Dennis you got my vote!

Viper1 on June 11, 2007 at 10:44 AM

I think Dennis showed remarkable restraint. reid will have trouble living up to Miller’s low expectations of him.

MarkM on June 11, 2007 at 10:46 AM

You really need to figure out what your soul is worth. Be conservative, bash the Dems, but don’t be intellectually dishonest and partisan. It sucks the fun out of the comedy and credibility out of the commentary.

gmcjetpilot on June 11, 2007 at 3:05 AM

Sorry, Miller was being excruciatingly honest, and he’s one of the few people who can give words a painful sting in the delivery. So, what exactly is Bill Mahr’s soul worth? Does he even have one? C’mon, this is the man who dresses up like Steve Irwin in an attempt to mock him. Mahr’s not even funny, he’s just angry, ok, he’s honest about his anger.

Translation: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!

Bad Candy on June 11, 2007 at 11:15 AM

I love how libs say, “It sucks the fun out of the comedy…” for you! Because you people truly are the ones without a sense of humor!! If I was as knee-jerk offended every time conservatives were made fun of, I would miss many of my favorite shows – like “Family Guy”!! We’re forced to have a better sense of humor than you because most of the shows bash us, (while at the same time support the Democrats who are trying to destroy them via bringing back the “Fairness Doctrine”.)

foxforce91 on June 11, 2007 at 11:18 AM

who remembers to watch the THHNH ? I forgot it was still on the air.

Nice rant; but come on. Are we still watching this? Is it getting better?

lorien1973 on June 11, 2007 at 11:23 AM

gmcjetpilot on June 11, 2007 at 3:05

A troll I smell… Yes!

unless someone can trace gmcjetpilot’s IP back to a certain Nevada senators office…

BadBrad on June 11, 2007 at 11:32 AM

unless someone can trace gmcjetpilot’s IP back to a certain Nevada senators office…

Heh. gmcjetpilot has been trolling around here for months, off and on. Long, pointless rants that he doesn’t back up. It’s normal.

lorien1973 on June 11, 2007 at 11:40 AM

I just wish I had Dennis Miller’s vocabulary and command of the English language. In a day and time when everything is being dumbed down to fit into a one line text message complete with one letter words and are given extra credit by HS English teachers for creativity, it is refreshing to hear him talk. So what if he makes me scramble to look up some words, it is just the way they flow.
Oh yeah and the fact that he is dead on with his commentary whether in his regular nightclub act or when ripping some politician a new one, he does it for the most part with no juvenile regression to the use of 4 letter words.
In a new age where Ann Coulter is losing her audience because of never turning off the flame thrower he is a good guy to have on the side of the right.

LakeRuins on June 11, 2007 at 11:50 AM

As Jim Rome would say, ‘Rack him.’ That was the huge rant of the day.

PRCalDude on June 11, 2007 at 11:52 AM

Could you see Dennis versus Al Franken for the MN Senator slot. The debates would be priceless, once you wiped Al’s spittle off the camera and mics.

LakeRuins on June 11, 2007 at 11:57 AM

Ouch. That’s gonna leave a mark.

Jeffersonian on June 11, 2007 at 12:06 PM

I wonder if Dennis takes requests. I’d love to see him go off on my Senators Boxer and Feinstein.

repvoter on June 11, 2007 at 12:18 PM

Even Dennis failed to mention the M word though in relation to Mssr Reid. (Mormon) Could it be because it really doesn’t matter no matter how hard the MSM try to keep hitting us over the head with it in regards to certain other political candidate? The liberal press first brooched the storyline about questioning those of the Mormon faith and then have kept up the drumbeat. This is how the liberal media can shape opinion to fit theirs.

LakeRuins on June 11, 2007 at 12:28 PM

Miller was sadly misplaced on Monday Night Football, but he has now definitely found his niche. Way to go Dennis!

hillbillyjim on June 10, 2007 at 11:30 PM

I liked him on Monday Night. He was such a stark contrast from the other two that you had actually listen to him.

looking4statesmen on June 11, 2007 at 12:31 PM

gmcjetpilot on June 11, 2007 at 3:05 AM

You are aware of course that Miller was a Democrat until 9/11? Sometime thereafter he changed to Independent. You are also aware, of course, that he has frequently skewered elements of the current administration? I mean you seem to know just about everything else.

pat on June 11, 2007 at 12:46 PM

That was beautiful … just beautiful.

thirteen28 on June 11, 2007 at 1:32 PM

I take back my previous comment. This was, in fact, way too soft on Reid.

Enemy enablers – who more than Reid has worked so tirelessly to prove bin Laden’s weak-horse theory correct? – deserve more than witty put downs. They deserve trials for treason.

If we’re serious about the war, we’ll do more than diss the useful idiots with wit. I doubt it, though.

Halley on June 11, 2007 at 1:55 PM

I just wish there was video of you while you were posting that. Is there? Please? I want to see what happens when a sissy liberal has a complete meltdown.

reaganaut on June 11, 2007 at 7:51 AM

I’m sure it would look a lot like Angry German Boy pounding the keyboard and screaming like a baby.

As for Reid, Miller was great and dead on target, but he was too kind. Dingy Harry deserves any abuse he gets. Are there any Democrat “leaders” that aren’t utterly corrupt scumbags these days? I can’t think of any.

ReubenJCogburn on June 11, 2007 at 2:36 PM

That is just UNBELIEVABLE awesomeness! Thanks, Dennis!!

tickleddragon on June 11, 2007 at 2:50 PM

Reid should go back to shaking down Nevada whorehouses.

mcgilvra on June 11, 2007 at 3:10 PM

this made my day. i agree with the above poster. Dennis’s command of the english language is simply amazing.

jpm5150 on June 11, 2007 at 3:41 PM

Miller Time! Wow! Only on Fox – I am thankful for both FOX and Miller. Let me say it again: Wow! Miller Time!

For some reason it gives me pleasure to not only see Miller describe Reed as the Chamberlain Defeatocrat he is, but also to see supporters of the left such as gmcjetpilot on June 11, 2007 at 3:05 AM be so disturbed by him. When we see such people, the weakness and real problem in the United States, so angry it is a good sign.

omegaram on June 11, 2007 at 5:17 PM

I wonder if Dennis takes requests. I’d love to see him go off on my Senators Boxer and Feinstein.

repvoter on June 11, 2007 at 12:18 PM

Those are his Senators too since he makes his home in Santa Barbara. He does go after Pelosi quite often on his radio show, which you can listen to here… http://www.dennismillerradio.com/ as you read HA.

CliffHanger on June 11, 2007 at 5:27 PM

I waited all day to hear this, since at work I cannot access hotair.

It was worth the wait.

CrimsonFisted on June 11, 2007 at 5:48 PM

I humbly propose that Dennis Miller’s tongue be registered as a lethal weapon. :)

ZK on June 11, 2007 at 6:02 PM

AWESOME! I love calling out Senators for spewing nonsense from their “ashen pieholes.” Hilarious.

hollygolightly on June 11, 2007 at 6:29 PM

BTW People who use “Big Words” are insecure and try to make people think they are smarter than they are. Dennis Miller, The Thesaurus Comic, it’s getting old. It’s an old shtik, so 80’s.gmcjetpilot on June 11, 2007 at 3:05 AM

Actually, Miller seems to be able to produce those words almost spontaneously. I’m sure he prepares ahead, but he isn’t just a dummy reading a teleprompter. His live stand up act is a nonstop tounge twister.

Resolute on June 11, 2007 at 7:04 PM

Excellent.

This is what we need and not just as to Harry Reid.

Phil Byler on June 11, 2007 at 7:13 PM

… with no due respect, sir.”

My sentiments exactly. Thanks, Dennis.

IrishEyes on June 11, 2007 at 7:18 PM

Yowza

Viewtifulgare on June 11, 2007 at 7:57 PM

I salute you Mr. Miller and please do not get to far away from a microphone in the near future. I think that you will feel the same way about many of the candidates and we need to hear it from you.

NEMETI IN SYRACUSE on June 11, 2007 at 8:18 PM

Ok, I just checked the Chuck Norris thread and came back here. Dennis and Chuck. Brains and Brawn. Panache and Power.

Bring it on. It is a good day at hotair.

CrimsonFisted on June 11, 2007 at 8:57 PM

I’m sure it would look a lot like Angry German Boy pounding the keyboard and screaming like a baby.

Haha – that’s what I was thinking, except he’d be wearing a truther t-shirt.

reaganaut on June 11, 2007 at 9:54 PM

Extremely well, done. I’m afraid, however, that the hootin’ and knee slappin helps medicate the real concern we ought to feel for Ried, Boxer, Pelosi, Gore, Dean, and many others who are outright traitors. These people are part of our government, damn it, and we can’t even discuss hypothetical plans without concern that the traitors will run from a top secret planning meeting with information that can take down our own commander in Chief.

That wasn’t comedy, folks, and if you listen to Dennis, he is deadly serious. He says he’s taking the opportunity to say what we all ought to be saying because he can.

That ought to be Bush, Cheney, or every other Senator or representative, civil servant, or U.S. citizen speaking like that with one voice, while we drag them to court for a unanimous butt chewin on the way to the gallows or the firing squad.

Privately, many of these people believe that it is actually not fair and arrogant of us to have nukes and other countries don’t. But we are not stating the intention to wipe democratic countries off the map, invade them illegally until they take us over. They really do not care about the outcome of world politics or war. If you apply logic to their actions, they care more about their own personal or party political advancement than they do about the war — and it will result in the fall of our country.

What percentage of the republican efforts and resources of our Commander in Chief, and the military are diverted into fighting the enemies from within?

We have had some victories lately, but they pale compared to the big battles we are losing. We have got to find a way to wake the American people up. We need a million Dennis Millers speaking 24h a day in strategic places. People with common sense have been cowed into silence in the name of being politically correct or polite, while the Sheehans and Sharptons babble and prattle on incessantly, slowly poisoning the minds of our children.

What are the effective outlets for us politically? Have we studied the effectiveness of Grassfire.org, or others? Have we polled the congressmen to see which grassfire organizations they actually pay attention to? Is the research published?

CountryDoc on June 11, 2007 at 10:42 PM

Ignoring the naysayers, I really think we need to get DM to run for office in the Republican party.

Of course, I also think he’s too smart to do so (since the RP seems to be bankrupt).

Don’t forget to listen to the Dennis Miller radio show.

http://www.dennismillerradio.com/

If you don’t get it then email/call program directors of radio stations and ask for it. If you do get it,email/call the PD’s and tell them how much you like his show. He has a great radio show and he could use our help to make sure he keeps it.

No,I don’t work for him — wish I did.

CanaryinaCoalMine on June 12, 2007 at 1:33 AM

Damn straight.

Now he needs to tell the Republicans were to go on Amnesty…

Tim Burton on June 12, 2007 at 4:24 AM

Haha, that was awesome! Smackdown. I just subscribed to his podcast.

rmgraha on June 11, 2007 at 11:51 PM

Easy there. Miller is pro-administration on our action in Iraq, and he is anti-illegal immigration, but he’d still make Rudy look like a hardcore social con. He’s an entertainer with viable grey matter, and that’s about the extent of it. He’s not a leader.

Freelancer on June 12, 2007 at 7:00 AM

I think his segment is the best thing on the show (besides the ACLU guy). Seriously, this was a great smack down of old Harry. I know it’s easy to think he would make a great person for some office but I’m also in the not so sure camp either.

Catie96706 on June 12, 2007 at 9:49 AM

Dingy Harry makes me think of an undertaker every time I see his visage.
