Attn: CNBC Programmers: Put Miller Out Of His Misery!
Holy moley!! I just happened by there after not having seen his show since the first week it was on....and....I know this is difficult to fathom but, it's WORSE!

For God's sake, why are they still doing this? Not for the ratings, that's for sure.

1. Does he still have the monkey on?
I know that his audience still has to be paid to show up. And even at that, some of them come out feeling ripped off.

2. I never thought I would say this ...
... but I almost feel sorry for him. He is such a TOOL. He gave up any sense of comedic truth-telling when Bush gave him a nickname - and that is just so sad. Even Jon Stewart, who I LOVE, rips Dems when they do something stupid. Dennis drunk the Kool-aid on Bush and is out there having to justify the most outrageous abuses by Bush Co with a straight face. He would rather be consistent, wrong and unfunny than tell the truth. And that is the death kiss to comedy.

Geez, pull the plug and put him out of his misery. The studio audience is even uncomfortable. And by the way, McEnroe may be "on our side" but the guy is not good on TV. We need people who are talented as well as progressive/liberal. Jeez, on cable news I would settle for people who are talented and just tell the unvarnished truth ....

3. Miller was once quite the genious in his own way...
he had such a good ripping sardonic wit - I'd laugh out of appreciation of the craft, at least.

but ever since he decided to sell his soul to the Devilbush camp he's just pathetic - like watching a man drowning in his own blackhearted fluids.

4. I too thought he was quite good at one time but,
alas poor Yorick, he sucks the big one now! Embarassed to watch, in fact. What a difference a sell-out makes!

6. The second an entertainer needs a dancing monkey...
it's time to put out the lights.. Miller's career is about over. I think the guy might have a problem with alcohol, you can see it in him!

8. I Thought So Too!!!
He looks pretty glazed over, but maybe it's the hair plugs and the .01 ratings...very stressful, that can take it out of you!

This guy was challenging him on WHY he thinks GWB is such a "strong leader?" and he responded by saying that hey baby! We got a big fuse but there's a lotta big bombs at the end of it heh heh!!

Sheesh...ugly American personified. And what did our bombs get us? NOTHING. Death and destruction and a big mess. Like he's still woohoo! SHOCK & AWE BABY!

Please! The idea that it was worth 1,000 of our soldiers lives and how many? 15,000 Iraqi lives to get one aging old dictator, these people are completely pyschopathic.

7. Never mind HIS misery, just put the rest of us out of OURS
puhleeze! What a semi-tragic waste since his "transformation." Good example of what fear, greed and hubris can do.

9. On his "varsity panel" there was three right wingers
trying to our righwing each other. That Malkin thing is a real harpy. Dennis is happy Bush is up on the wall guarding us. What a pathetic thing to believe.

12. At least Chase could play piano.
Miller can barely play himself. What a joke he has become. It's sad.

13. Even before he turned whore he was a below average comedian at best.
Even in his SNL days I didn't think he was that funny. The sight of that guy just plain sickens me now.

dennis miller :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: and a one finger wave.

14. Pull the plug on a dying patient...
Miller is unfunny, desperate, and just plain ugly to look at. Since when did comedy -- an outsider's art if ever there was one -- become viable for a pro-right-wing has-been?

I have no sympathy for that asshole.
