5. What a jerk...
as if, that makes everything okay. That was the most childish display I've seen. Ever.

If Miller would engage in an honest exchange of ideas, I could extend a bit of respect to him. However, this petulant frat boy crap doesn't cut it. :grr:

9. It doesn't mean anything
Edited on Fri Mar-19-04 04:21 PM by LiviaOlivia
What matters is his (Miller's)actions during the actual taping/show.

Miller will do the same schick again with another guest.

19. finally saw this clip

hopefully, this will be the absolute END of DM.

maybe he can do wedding parties in Bangkok, the Siberian tour of the Odd Couple (as a solo performance)

but, he has to be finished on TV.

will Bill Mahr cover this tonight? did Jon Stewert yet?

I don't consider Dennis Miller worth my time, why should he?

20. What A Complete Douche
How utterly pathetic...

I'd like to know more about what he said to Alterman in his apology...I hope Alterman writes a bit more about it, like did he offer any kind of explanation for his idiocy?

24. This is the only explanation necessary.
Alterman had insulted the Dear Leader by pointing out the evidence that the Dear Leader was an habitual liar. Dear Leader's #1 brown noser Miller could not comprehend how anyone could so blatantly insult the Dear Leader and yet he couldn't refute the evidence provided by Alterman. Overcome by a severe case of cognitive dissonance, the only option left to Miller was to make like a goofball, ham it up, avoid getting into any meaningful discusssion with Alterman and terminate the interview ASAP.

25. The really classy thing for Miller to do is apologize to him on his show.
Besides the cell phone call.
