When he editorializes on politics, I cannot leave him quickly enough.
Ten bonus points if you can spot the poor intellectual habit that limits your political horizons.

It isn't not listening to Dennis Miller.

He's funny 95% of the time, but he has this knack for throwing out references so obscure only 3 people get it...

If I ever find out who Sylvia Plath is, Miller's gonna be 10 times funnier...

That must be my problem too. Wait! No, that was Dorothy Parker. Never mind.

He bores me. He reminds me of the kiss azz in school who runs people down and looks around to see if anyone thinks he's cute. I watched him on a rant trashing people because they work at McDonalds. I thought to myself, what's the difference between you and them? He is the first one to laugh at his own snarky quips then again looks around as if to say "Hey, ain't I the clever one" Nah, not too funny at all to me. That is why you don't see him around much in my opinion. But why should he be different then any other SNL ex. Most all of them fade away after leaving the show. He does have a role apperantly along with Ted Nugent. They are FOX regulars.

I loved Mlller when he was young and brilliant.......


It's when he got older and started to take himself seriously that ruined it for me.....

I haven't watched him in a long time, and haven't given him a thought until now. Yea........thanks for that. Weeee............... I do think people can be hilarious without being cruel in what they say. I remember commediens like Red Skelton who was so darn funny and interesting to watch. He could make a point without being mean about it. And then we began a generation of commediens who decided the best way to get laughs was to be mean, hateful and ugly. Enter Joyce Baynard of The View. God I can't stand that opinionated woman.

It's all in how you choose to remember history.

For every Red Skelton there was a Don Rickles!
