A moment of silence, please, for the great Dennis Miller.
He at least used to have moments of being funny. But then he took a weird right wing turn. I wasn't happy about it, but ok. The final straw, however, came tonight as I watched the Half Hour News Hour (don't ask...I don't know why. I'm masochistic.) Turns out the crazies who run that show gave ol' Dennis his own bit entitled, "The Buck Starts Here." Nevermind that this is a shameless ripoff of "Back in Black" (just as the entire concept behind Half Hour News Hour is a shameless [and crappy!] ripoff of Daily Show). The subject of Mr. Miller's rant was "why I love Bush." As if that weren't bad enough, he had to alternatively dumb down his rant for his audience and explain his jokes. Oh, it hurt me. At one point one of his jokes was, "...and I love Bush because he would make fun of me for using the term 'vis-a-vis' in the previous joke."
Oh, Dennis. You might as well have just written "sell-out" on your forehead...
