Dismissed by CNBC, forgotten Bush whore Dennis Miller crawls back to Fox
Cha-CHA, baby...more rambling pseudo-intellectual hipster bullshit from Dennis "Everything changed after 9/11" Miller. He didn't bring the monkey with him from CNBC because Hannity already has Colmes.



Funnyman Dennis Miller Returns to FNC!

Friday, September 22, 2006

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,215178,00.html

This is a partial transcript from "Hannity & Colmes," September 21, 2006, that has been edited for clarity.

SEAN HANNITY, CO-HOST: Finally tonight, here's our old friend, Dennis Miller, with some real free speech.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

DENNIS MILLER, FOX NEWS CONTRIBUTOR: Hey, folks. Nice to be back. Tonight I want to talk to you about the elephant-sized piñata in the room, illegal immigration. Now I don't have anything against Mexican people, but for God's sakes, sign the gust book on the way in. Come on. If you're going to knock off a nooner with a co-worker at a bad motel you have to scrawl your worn Hancock on the desk blotter. Of course, you should sign in at the border. Protecting our borders is not a racist act, and anybody who tells you that it is, be they Mexico-American, American-Mexican, American-American or Mexican-Mexican, is quite simply full of it, full of it. Sit down, Alan.

We have to confront this problem right now, because the Rubicon Grande has obviously been crossed. I realized that when I heard there's now a copy of the national anthem sung completely in Spanish. Although, truth be told, I've kind of been doing it a little bit myself over the years. Because I don't know about you, but I always start the song off "Jose can you see?" Now I place a lot of the blame on our two presidents. I don't like Fox. The president, not the network. Love the network. I love Roger Ailes. Love, love, love, love, love, love, but Vicente Fox always reminds me of Nile Wagner in his Zorro sketch.

And you know something? If he's proud of his country as he says he is, maybe he should try to honcho his economy out of the permanent state of siesta it's in so its people can stay home and make a buck or 60 trillion pesos, whatever today's conversion rate may be. And while I truly admire President Bush, I just don't get him at all on illegal immigration. I sometimes think that his soft approach to his problem might possibly have something to do with the reflexive guilty he might feel about his patrician upbringing.

3. Yeah...it's embarrassing just to read this tripe, let alone hear it...
"I don't like Fox. The president, not the network. Love the network. I love Roger Ailes. Love, love, love, love, love, love, but Vicente Fox always reminds me of Nile Wagner in his Zorro sketch."

2. Do they have pictures of him nude with a lb of coke and a goat?
I have never understood what the hell happened here. I just have always felt they had something on ole Dennis and if he quit dancin', he would get ruined.

I dunno. I am just so stunned by his turn about. In any proper world, Dennis Miller would be healing from his second aneurism after blowing another one Friday night in a rant against Bushco, but something is very wrong with the Force.

5. Miller claims that "everything changed after 9/11"...
...and that's what led him to the warm and comfy residence he's taken up in Bush's colon.

In a way, he's right. Everything did change after 9/11. Instead of sending in enough troops to perforate Osama bin Laden's worthless ass, Bush decided that we had to go into Iraq so he could prove that he's a better man than his daddy.

It's easy to see how the man became Miller's hero.

19. They definitely have serious dirt on him
Serious dirt. Johnny Gosch level dirt.

Either that or Bushco has his grandmother in a basement somewhere, wired to explosives.

4. "And while I truly admire President Bush"
Dennis Miller hasn't changed one damn bit. His pathetic excuse for a show on CNBC went in the toilet (where it belonged). Might as well go back to O'ReillyGeraldoHannityland.

And did that little rant of his seem just the teeniest bit racist to anyone else? Miller has become even more of a worthless slimeball.

6. I'd say "openly racist"...
...but on Hannity's show, I'm sure it's a minor detail that his audience will overlook...or applaud with gusto.

:patriot:

7. I suspect he is on some type of perscription meds
He's probably popping them like they were M&Ms.

8. Not funny
It looks like Mr. Miller was TRYING to be funny here... but he fails. It just ain't funny.

9. His former show on CNBC...
...was filmed in front of a live audience, and there would be L-O-N-G stretches of "uncomfortable silence" as he smirked his way through unfunny bit after unfunny bit. It was painful to watch.

11. As I recall, weren't the audience members paid on his show?
Edited on Sat Sep-23-06 03:22 PM by terrya
That was just one sad excuse for a television show. You're right...there would be some uncomfortable periods of silences.

13. If they were paid, they didn't earn it...they sat on their hands, unamused
Miller's kind of like Andrew Dice Clay. He comes out and does his "Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet" bits that weren't funny the first time around, but for some unknown reason, people keep paying him to do those bits. Maybe it's because he "Love, love, love, love, love, loves" Fox News and "truly admires President Bush."

:silly:

18. Technically, no
Groups were paid to be in the audience en masse. Like, it was a way for the Redondo Beach Rotary Club to kill a Friday night and pick up a few bucks for their next toga party.

10. What's really embarrassing is
Edited on Sat Sep-23-06 03:27 PM by TheFarseer
This little rant was in no way funny. He at least used to be funny (I'm talking, say in the 90's) Now he's less funny than Sean Hanitty and that's really saying something. He's just embarrassing and someone should tell him to go write for "Jimmy Kimmel Live" where all the other unfunny writers apparently ended up.

not quite high enough. The shark bit off his vapid head.

16. I almost****almost*** feel bad for him, he used to be at the top
of his game and although i was never a big fan of his stuff i did enjoy his HBO show he used to have back in the day. Now he's kind of a has been turned hack.

Dennis, you should really consider a career change. Amway, MaryKay, Black Water.

17. So,
Dennis going to have a regularly scheduled show I can be sure to miss, or is he going to be a utility outfield whore for Faux, showing up wherever the intellectual level needs lowering?

27. If he spoke his mind, I'd have less of a problem with him
He's speaking George's mind. That's why he's not funny anymore -- he's doing
hackwork for the Empire.

his routines?
