TV “comedian” Dennis Miller slams Harry Reid for being irrelevant.
Yes, a “comedian” on tv is slamming the majority leader of the U.S. senate for being irrelevant. So irrelevant he had to go on tv and bitch about it. Man, that’s irrelevant.
Oh, and he did this on what’s supposed to be a humor show. Golly, I wonder why people don’t think conservatives are funny? Perhaps because they’re agenda first, comedy… never.

Shorter Dennis Miller:
I used to be liberal until 9/11. Now I get outraged over Chapaquiddick.
Can’t wait for Bordello of Blood 2- Electric Bugalloo, Denny.
The Majority Leader of the United States Senate is irrelevant.
Why can’t you people ever argue honestly? What the hell is it, some pathalogical inability to reason?
And why does it say “Comedian/Comedian”?
Oh, wait. It’s the Half Hour News Hour. That must be one of their jokes.
Where is teh funny? He uses a lot of big words that a faux audience can’t understand though.
BTW, that Dennis Miller is a real ratings grabber isn’t he? Before he came up with the Republican shtick he was left with letting Gilbert Gottfried verbally molest his one year old on the Howard Stern show. How he has fallen since then.
Yeah, the guy who had a 5-minute weekly segment on “Hannity and Colmes” that got canceled is the right guy to call the Senate Majority Leader “irrelevant.” That’s like Archduke Franz Ferdinand calling Kaiser Wilhelm II irrelevant after the winter of 1914, baby.*
* or some other dumb historical reference joke Miller makes
Dennis Miller has become a troll. Expect to see him in the comments section soon.
So it’s true:
When a neoconservative defenestrates, it really is like Rachmaninoff filibuster deoxymonohydroxinate.
Miller really looks like hell ever since he sold his soul to the Repubs.
It’s really a shame Miller’s career has gone down the toilet, but what did he expect?
I mean, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that 98% of the Repubs don’t have a freaking clue what the hell Miller is talking about most of the time. Even if you gave them a thesaurous they couldn’t figure him out.
Larry the Cable Guy is about as deep as Repubs can go when it comes to humor. Fart jokes, sleeping with your sister jokes and oh yeah, more fart jokes.
Gitter dun!
Miller shat on all of his former fans, now he’s nothing but a loser that has to grovel for low wages on Fox “News”.
Koo koo John Yoo.
“Dennis Miller” should be a sniglet for a comedian so desperate to save his career he clings to the political space formerly occupied by Yakov Smirnov.
When a TV comedian slams a Democrat, he’s labeled as irrelevant. But when a TV comedian slams a Republican, he’s a brave kingmaker, the Entertainer of the Year and one of the 100 Most Influential People in the world. You 19 Percenters are really something.
You forgot that when a comedian slams a Republican, they’re funny while doing it.
“When a neoconservative defenestrates, it really is like Rachmaninoff filibuster deoxymonohydroxinate.”
LOL Now that’s funny!
BTW I don’t think Miller was ever anymore than a fake liberal. In 1992 he was a Perot supporter all the way.
He’s proof positive college isn’t for everyone. Sometimes stupid can’t be fixed by education.
Dennis:
I have to give credit to Seth MacFarlane for that one. What kind of person would I be if I ruthlessly plagiarized other people’s jokes?
SF: “…when a TV comedian slams a Republican, he’s a brave kingmaker, the Entertainer of the Year and one of the 100 Most Influential People in the world.”
Colbert said it to the president’s FACE. Miller doesn’t have a millionth of Colbert’s cojones.
More people watch Miller on O’Reilly than watch Maher on HBO. You could look it up, but you arrogant ignoramuses wouldn’t know how.
A washed up comedian who can’t keep a job and needs a laugh track put in when preforming before a live audience shouldn’t be talking about relevance maybe.
Anyone want to clue Dave in to the difference between a station that comes free with everyone’s cable, and a subscription-only station? Or is that a distinction only an arrogant ignoramus would care about?
Stewart’s show is first of all funny, culturally influential, and again, funny. If Dennis Miller were actually being funny nobody would be dinging him on his come-to-the-right revival. But if your occupation is comedian you need to bring the funny (Dane Cook notwithstanding).
Miller was funny when he bashed George I, funny when he bashed Clinton. His mistake was thinking that he could become an apologist for the ruling party and still be funny.
For some weak-willed people, 9/11 meant not just a change of outlook but a change of character.
He had to PAY people to show up at his last show, the one with the freakin monkey!!
Stewart is not at all funny. He just recycles the same old biased political bs.
“I wonder who lied?”
“George Bush!”
Ahahahahahahhaha!
Cutting edge comedian, my Harry Reid!
“Jon Stewart is not funny and to prove it here is a stupid line I just pulled out of my ass because I have no idea what kind of thing Jon Stewart says because I refuse to watch the Daily Show because I hear it’s critical of Republicans! WTF!”
Also, Colbert’s thing doesn’t compare to Miller’s thing. For a start, he didn’t pretend that the President was irrelevant. For a second he posesses wit, and used it pretty much constantly.
Also, Farris, 19 percenters? Does that refer to something, or have you just heard us call you guys 28 percenters and thought it was just completely random? Because it’s not.
I never thought Miller was funny, even when he thought he was a comedian.
Maybe Farris meant to type 54 percenters, as in the number of Americans who support or lean towards supporting Democrats as opposed to Republicans. Or maybe he meants to call us 61 percenters, for the number of Americans who see Bush as a failure. Who can say?
Also, Farris, 19 percenters?
That would be Harry Reid’s approval rating, which is what started this whole shebang. Sorry for staying on topic.
Oh well the senate majority leader’s approval ratings certainly beat that of the President of the United States and by extension his entire administration. OH WAI
That’s a blow for the Democrats, since I’m sure that people’s approval of the Senate Majority Leader is based on well-thought-out, reasoned and considered study of the issues.
Ha ha.
Dugger, regarding Jon Stewart’s comic ability and his show in general… I think that most people would strongly disagree with you. And yeah, your attempt to mock him was very lame.
Farris… I’m fairly sure that if I were to go up to 100 people on the street, 65 wouldn’t know who Harry Reid is, and 25 of the remaining 35 wouldn’t be able to tell me anything about what he stands for. The reliability of a poll asking about the Senate Majority leader here in the U.S., where lots of people are fairly ignorant about political intricacies (if you can call knowing the leader of the Democratic party an “intricacy”) has got to be called into question.
On the other hand, you’ve got Bush. Pretty sure that people have a better understanding of that particular beast than they do of Reid.
Anyway, long story short… your half-joke trying to flip around the ol’ “28-percenters” line on us was very lame.
Miller is not funny because his entire premise is false.
First of all Reid controls the agenda of the US Senate. Nothing comes to the floor without him wanting it to. He has solid enough support to bring a cloture vote to stop any Bush agenda item if he so wishes.
Second, he is relevant by controlling who sits on and chairs committees. This is where the real work gets done in that body.
Third, when Reid has something to say it gets printed. Much more in the consertvative outlets it seems. The right needs self created caricatures to knock down or they have nothing of significance to harp on all day long.
Lastly, there is no funny in being mean. Reid has a non-threatening apperance, kind of like a grandpa. To verbally kick the shit of a frail looking old guy just isn’t funny. It did merit a lot of “WOWS” from the commentators where the clip was posted which says a lot about the toughness of that crowd.
Maybe Miller can team up with Hitchens and do a skit excorciating Mother Theresa from beyond the grave. Get out the laugh tracks…
Dugger’s struggling. His infrequent posts to OW’s blog are lameass insults directed at Jon Stewart …? Hard to type and salute the monitor at the same time?
Huh. So that’s what pandering looks like.
Yeah, that is so a laugh track.
Did you all know that Dennis Miller swallows?
It’s true!
He said so himself.
One of his jokes about President Clinton went like this:”I’m not gay…but if I were blowing the President…I’d swallow”!
I downloaded that sound file of Miller’s act and posted it all over the Internet and it has since been taken down.
But hearing Miller say that let’s you know about his Jeff Gannon-like relationship with Bush. Bush never has to worry about semen stains on Miller’s blue sport jacket, that’s for sure.
I think Stewart is awitless liberal who deos nothing but target those left wingers feel superior to. Its all baout the sneering and condescension.
Humor is in the eye of the beholder. Despite the Democrats winning Congress, a snese of humor still has multiple choice options.
And of course you’re wrong. He and the Daily Show target the Democrats as well as the Republicans. That’s called satire. You just don’t like the Republicans being targeted at all. Because you’re a baby.
Not that I’m surprised that Republicans think Dennis Miller standing up and basically hurling insult after insult after venomous insult at an elected official accompanied by the most listless, off-beat canned laughter available, is funny. Most people would just call it, you know, insults.
“a sense of humor still has multiple choice options”
And for Dugger, those options will always be limited to either “Hee” or “Haw”.
As I pointed out before, the Daily Show has no problem at all making fun of Democrats because… it’s a COMEDY SHOW. You’ll never get any of these right-wing attempts to attack Republicans because they’re all about pushing an agenda first, not being FUNNY.
Poor Dugger. His Bushlove sometimes steams up the rose colored lenses in his glasses.
Dennis Miller just isn’t funny anymore; he hasn’t been funny for some time.
“That would be Harry Reid’s approval rating, which is what started this whole shebang. Sorry for staying on topic.”
People are pissed off because he didn’t end the war when they tought he should of.
Of course, what these people don’t understand is George W. Bush would rather see 100,000 American troops dead than admit he is a failure.
Nope OW. Criticism from the left of a liberal, doesn’t count. Nor does harmless, wink-wink nudge-nudge ‘criticism’ of personal foibles as in Clinton’s ’secretly admired by progressives’ sex life. Lets see them unload on Dems for the new culture of corruption, for Murthas ongoing stupidity and corruption, for their weaknesses in foreign policy, obsession with Bush hate, lack of moral values, etc etc.
You want see it, because the MSM bigwigs like Stewart are convinced progressives are always right.
Wah wah, people mock Republicans at all, it’s not fair, wah wah waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
“MSM bigwigs like Stewart”
As Stewart once famously told Crossfire, “The show that leads into me is puppets making crank phone calls.”
He’s a comedian doing a comedy show on a comedy network. I don’t think we can stress this enough.
Dugger and Tucker Carlson: The Bobsey Twins
I guess the John Stewart irony is lost on some of you nitwits. The same argument applies. He makes jokes, being irrelevant is almost a given. It hardly parallels being an irrelevant politician.
Stewart is a MSM bigwig. Prime time show. On every weekday night twice. Media bigwigs who control Emmies, Grammies and Peabodies like him. salary probably around a cool $2M a year.
His major run-ins? Strangely with conservatives: T Carlson, McCain. Accused of softball re Kerry.
Dugger, who’s in charge of the country right now?
Take your time.
Why does Dugger get to decide what criticism does and does not “count”?
You won’t admit that there’s more satire on Bush and the right because there is simply more material.
If you’re so fucking funny, show us the kind of jokes you’d tell about these Democratic ills. We already know that The Half Hour News Hour fails miserably at this, but surely Dugger, arbiter of all media, can lead us to the conservative comedian whose jokes aren’t just schoolyard insults with larger words.
Actually, Dugger, the previous evening’s repeat is in Prime time. the actual show is on at 11:00. Check your local listings.
Stewart is a MSM bigwig.
Hoo-boy.
Stewart is to MSM as Miller is to funny.
Shorter Dugger: If John Stewart is not pointing out the Democratic Conspiracy to Steal Our Precious Bodily Fluids, then blah blah blah…
Actually, Dugger, the previous evening’s repeat is in Prime time. the actual show is on at 11:00. Check your local listings.
Not to mention that there’s no new Daily Show on Fridays.
