Dennis Miller takes his act on the low road

[Rose Siding]

Fox News gave Slappy a job talking trash. We can't tell Peggy Noonan -it would break her heart. She's so so certain that liberals are responsible for the deteriorating level of civil discourse.

Check out what Crash Cart's favored station gets away with under the guise of "humor". (Hint: Jon and Steven can sleep easy)

From the October 26 edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes:

MILLER: Hey, folks. Tonight, we're going to talk about Nancy Pelosi, because the mere thought of the nosy neighbor from Bewitched as third in line to be the leader of the free world has stoked me into a Rain Man-like panic attack. A quick glance of her record reveals she voted to cut intelligence spending. Well, if anyone in the universe should vote for more intelligence, it's Nancy Pelosi. Let's just say that the whistle on Representative Pelosi's train of thought is barely audible off in the distance.

Now, I've worked in office scenarios before where a nimrod rose to a position of power in the office through mere inconsequentiality, and it drove me berserk. And I just know that every day I turn on C-SPAN, which, granted, is never, and see her wielding the wrong end of that gavel, it will give me Krakatoan shpilkes. To think that a C-minus, D-plus applicant like this, who no doubt would have been drummed out of the Mary Kay corps after an initial four-week evaluation period, might have a seat at the table of true powers, the speaker of the House, is absolutely insane.
...
Every time I see Pelosi in her little Chanel suits -- a latter day "Wacky O" -- regurgitating the Democratic talking points that she had to learn phonetically because the word "grasp" is not even vaguely in her vocabulary, I shake my head so badly you could blend paint colors in my mouth. Now, I know in public the Dems will paint Pelosi as merely a more saucer-eyed version of Benazir Bhutto, but the behind-closed-door fact is that they won't let her be speaker for long, if at all. They can't afford to let this mask of Nefertiti for harridans front their party for the next two years, because it will blow away any toehold they've established with real humans.

...It's the mere fact that, intellectually, Nancy Pelosi is not up to the task.

1. I've seen "Bewtiched" but I can't picture the "nosy neighbor" character.

Do other people know who he's talking about?

[Rose Siding]

6. Gladys Kravitz-

Pearce as Gladys Kravitz in Bewitched with George Tobias as her husband Abner, (1964).

9. "Aaaa-bner!"

[Eric J in MN]

12. OK, thanks, I guess I didn't pay attention to that aspect of the

Tv series.

[Eric J in MN]

13. I think Nancy Pelosi is better looking, for whatever importance..

...that may have.

[Ms. Clio]

7. Mrs. Kravitz, I think her name was

it's a really inane comparison, of course.

[JeffR]

8. Gladys Kravitz

eom

[kurth]

11. Gladys?

Abner's wife.

2. Isn't Dennis Miller some failed football host

"And I just know that every day I turn on C-SPAN, which, granted, is never, and see her wielding the wrong end of that gavel, it will give me Krakatoan shpilkes"

Gee that makes sense. He never watches C-span but sees her on it. Hypocrite much?

[Rufus T. Firefly]

17. Why have one good joke in a sentence...

when you can have 1, 2, 3 shitty ones?

1) make fun of C-span
2) call her stupid again (uh, and Bush is Mensa material)
3) a final joke that makes a historical reference that shows how smart he is.

[Missy Vixen]

3. Does Dennis Miller even think that the

mouth-breathers watching "FAUX" will have the first fricking idea of what it is he's talking about, anyway? His obscure stream-of-consciousness ramblings are only understandable with some kind of closed captioning translation.

Here's an even better question: Does HE know what he's talking about?

Julie

p.s. I think he's got a little crush on Nancy Pelosi. Too bad for him that she probably prefers men who are gainfully employed.

[Ms. Clio]

4. he has become an extraordinary ass

next stop, infomercials, Miller you pathetic weasel.

[kurth]

5. And his god The Chimp is an intellectual giant?

What a douche bag.

10. Isn't Dennis Miller dead yet

I know his career is...
wake me when he is done with rehab and willing to repent...

[rurallib]

14. From the neck up.

[joemurphy]

15. Dennis would prefer a heavyweight like Honest Denny Hastert.

You're at the end of a sad career Miller. Say goodbye and leave with your war-mongering, budget-busting, page-diddling Republican friends. Soon adults will be back in charge of the House. You and your Repubbie buddies can go back to being your typical carping, whining, and venal selves.

[Poll_Blind]

16. Someone told me coke can take a funny, witty person and turn...

...them into a boring zombie.

18. Wacky-O's? Shpilkes?

Any explanation of these references?

[AlCzervik]

19. intellectually, Nancy Pelosi is not up to the task--but Bush apparently is

in Dennis Millers world. How long before Miller is doing dinner theater in Scranton?
