On Wednesday's Tonight Show on NBC Dennis Miller delivered some zingers against opponents of taking on Saddam Hussein militarily. Since 9-11 the actor/comedian has honed his shtick around mocking liberals opposed to President Bush's tough line against terrorism.
Some of his shots on the January 29 Tonight Show with Jay Leno:
-- “Sean Penn, for instance, is urging restraint. What could we possibly say to Sean to get him on board? If only Saddam Hussein was a paparazzi.” (Penn once punched a photographer.)
-- “The only way the French are going in is if we tell them we found truffles in Iraq.”
-- “The French are always reticent to surrender to the wishes of their friends and always more than willing to surrender to the wishes of their enemies.”
He also took on liberals for opposing school vouchers when public schools are a disaster and offered this blast at the ACLU's priorities: “The ACLU spent this entire holiday season protesting public displays of the nativity scene. Yeah, that's the problem with America right now: Public displays of Christ's birth, that's the problem. It's unbelievable to me. The ACLU will no longer fight for your right to put up a nativity scene, but they'll fight for the right of the local freak who wants to stumble onto the scene and have sex with one of the sheep.”
Last November on the Tonight Show Miller praised Bush’s anti-terrorism efforts, favored attacking Iraq and juxtaposed the “wocka-wocka porno guitar of the Clinton administration” with how Bush “makes me proud to be an American again. He’s just a decent guy.” See: http://www.mediaresearch.org/cyberalerts/2002/cyb20021108.asp#7
In a June Tonight Show appearance Miller mocked liberal orthodoxy: “If you put the Guantanamo Bay terrorist prison outside of Kabul it would be their Epcot.” And: “I say we create a new airline, called the ACLA, the American Civil Liberties Airline where you don’t check anybody, you don’t ask any questions, and let those morons fly on that one.” See: http://www.mediaresearch.org/cyberalerts/2002/cyb20020620.asp#4
And in November of 2001, noting how reporters say “it's the public's need to know about our ground forces being in there,” on the Tonight Show Dennis Miller led the audience in a reprimanding journalists: “We don’t want to know!” Miller also called for oil drilling in Alaska and praised President Bush for ending “the ‘70s porno guitar of the Clinton administration.” See: http://www.mediaresearch.org/cyberalerts/2001/cyb20011107.asp#7
That last CyberAlert includes a picture of Miller whose stands are quite a contrast to those espoused by most in Hollywood who seem closer to the views of Susan Sarandon and Janeane Garofalo. -- Brent Baker
LMAO!!!!!!!!!
He's an equal opportunity offender but the libs and dems have given him so much material there not much else he can run with.
Me neither, but:
"The ACLU will no longer fight for your right to put up a nativity scene, but they'll fight for the right of the local freak who wants to stumble onto the scene and have sex with one of the sheep.”
This remark is priceless satire. In the war of words that is a "Daisy Cutter".
Go Zell. That's the ACLU in a snapshot.
I was wondering the same thing. I don't remember him being so conservative back in his SNL days. But then again, some people mature. With all the leftist messages coming out of the entertainment world, I'm sure Dennis Miller found a relatively untapped market among conservatives. And I do hope that other entertainers decide to follow.
Damm good new term... I like it
