Dennis Miller on Fox just now: "Any government that robs Peter to pay Paul..."

[dogknob]

"... can always count on the support of Paul."

A little more subtle than saying that registering the poor to vote is un-American and "like handing out burglary tools to criminals."

... but not much.

[spanone]

1. he's a non-funny putz

and a tremendous asshole

[la la]

23. didja realize~

that he's on the bold and fresh comedy tour with falafel o'reilly? --apparently taking beck's place...

[Tempest]

2. "Any government that robs Peter to pay Paul..."

So I guess Miller is against sending aid to Texas to pay for the fire fighters and the destruction.

[villager]

3. um, Dennis you smarmy shit, "Paul" would be the corporate state, and Peter would be the rest of us

Just to clear things up....

[DataException]

4. What happened to him?

Did he just go right wing after 9/11?

[immoderate]

8. I think he was always a dick. He went where there's no competition.

"Conservative" comedians mostly work churches.

[alecnotALEC]

13. he went Dennis Hopper

When he was on SNL he was great with Al Franken & A Whitney Brown but maybe it was the writers.. he's definitely been on the crazy pills since 9/11. Shame really there's always a shortage of people with conscience and balls.

[WinkyDink]

16. No career left, so he went, like Pop singers to Country, Right-Wing. It's just for the $$$.

[Motown_Johnny]

5. and that is why Corporations and the ultra rich support Republicans

Thanks for pointing that out guy who made me turn off the sound on Monday Night Football for an entire year.

[rpannier]

6. What's most pathetic about Miller is how much he jumped to the reich

I've seen people who switched after 9/11, but they didn't become anti-tax, corporate loving, environment hating shills.
I never liked Miller. This just makes it easier to hate him.

[Dawson Leery]

9. Hitchens became a hawk on military matters.

He still maintained his left wing ideas about economics and distaste for religion.

[rpannier]

11. Yep

Even LIEberman still gets high marks from environmental groups and organizations that work with the poor.

[dennis4868]

7. what about a govt that robs from the poor....

to give to the wealthy?

[Ken Burch]

10. Dennis Miller actually stole that quote from George Bernard Shaw

That would be the George Bernard Shaw who was...gasp...A SOCIALIST!!!!

[Quantess]

18. Amazing!

Funny...I glanced at your profile pic and I thought it was Dennis Miller, at first. LOL!

[Ken Burch]

19. Actually, the figure in my profile picture is Juliano Mer-Khamis

the founder of the Freedom Theatre, a Palestinian theatre company. Mer-Khamis was half-Israeli Jewish(on his mother's side)and half-Palestinian Arab. A few months ago, he was murdered they still haven't found the killer. Since the man's very existence was threatening to people on both sides of the I/P conflict, there are a lot of possible suspects.

[dogknob]

24. Before he said that, he said...

...that Obama was employing the George Bernard Shaw method of government. I share a house with a guy who watches Fox, and sometimes I can hear it in the next room. I don't really mind because it helps me to hopefully write better satire.

[msongs]

12. if you rob Peter to pay Paul you are gonna hear from Mary lol nt

[Skittles]

14. Mr. Miller is a repuke whore

he speaks utter drivel

[WinkyDink]

15. The key word's being "rob." Of course, an equitable taxation system to a Republican is THEFT.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

17. Go away Dennis

You're yesterday's news and no longer funny.

[Warren DeMontague]

20. fucking goober.

he was funny for about 3 minutes, in 1991. And to think he used to be friends with Janeane Garafolo.

[Rabblevox]

21. Thank you for not providing a link. I f*ing DESPISE Dennis Miller...

he is a snapshot of everything that is wrong and broken in America.

[dogknob]

25. There is no link to provide.

I overheard it from a TV in the next room.

[Smarmie Doofus]

22. "Cha-cha" needs to get a clue.

He's actually right but he's confused about the identities of Peter and Paul.

i.e About who's getting robbed and who's getting paid.

[Fumesucker]

26. Which is why the rich support our politicians so handsomely..

Because they are stealing from the poor to give to the rich.
