Dennis Miller on Iraq, Al Qaeda, and President Bush
By John
I was a fan of Dennis Miller's long before he came over to the "let's fight this war" camp. Some of you may know that Miller, the former Saturday Night Live star, became a vociferous proponent of both the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq after the Sept. 11th attacks, changing his ideological leaning from Hollywood liberal to conservative Hawk. Below is a video bit of a Miller standup routine that is excellent in both delivery and message.
This quote will stick with me for a long, long time.
"If I didn't believe in this war, in public I would lie and say I did until all these kids were home. I really would. I just don't think our opinions matter all that much right now. We've got twenty year old kids....you know i love those kids, and I would never say anything that would make them feel like they're fighting a war that no one cares about over there."
Miller '08 anyone?

I have no problem understanding the media these days. I just have a really hard time stomaching the media these days.
yeah, or Hollywood for that matter. Echoing BC, God Bless Dennis Miller. And Bruce Willis, and Gary Sinise.
First, a 20 year old soldier is not a kid. He is a man, or she is a woman. Period.
Other than that, I am pretty much in agreement with Dennis Miller.
I am not a football fan, but I started paying attention to Monday Night Football when he was on briefly. I remember he made a reference to the House of Plantagenet that had me laughing out loud, but I'm certain it was lost on most viewers.
Good for him. Though it shouldn't be so "out of style" to say such things it is, sadly.
I've always thought Miller's routine's on HBO were hilarious but apparently they decided to bring in Bill Maher, and thus I cancelled the channel. Maher's not really funny or smart while Miller is both.
I've posted on this site before and will again in the future but I just wanted to take a quick second to put out a shameless plug and request:
If anyone from in the Military/Intelligence/Diplomatic circles ever has a tip/comment about Saddam Hussein's terrorism on his own people or links to terrorist groups I'd greatly appreciate the tip in the comments section or by email over at http://www.regimeofterror.com/
P.S. - Thanks for the find on Dennis Miller John.
excellent video... he is shaaarpe. i love the john kerry=chess, geo bush=checkers player analogy.
hollowood is so lacking in quality people like DM.
Trackbacks don't seem to be working.

DROP DEAD!
And I can say that. I can say that because I am nuanced and open minded. I'll prove it. I have changed my mind.
I used to argue with people when they'd complain that they hadn't been asked "to sacrifice," that the President only want ...
Good stuff. My favorite is the line about suicide bombers wanting to kill themselves and we get there first. Iraq still makes good fly paper.
Great video.

God Bless Dennis Miller. What a terrific guy.
He is also doing a bit on Hannity & Colmes now. Unless I'm thinking of the sketches that he did right before MSNBC gave him his own show. Then canceled it. Yet they keep Olberman. I really do not understand the media these days.
