Or rather, I think I do know.

I would read the Media Research Center reports on Miller. Brent Bozell had a real stick up his ass about Miller, apparently because he thought that ABC had picked the "left wing" Miller over Limbaugh for the MNF job.

And so MRC would keep publishing these "leftist" statements by Miller, apparently completely unaware that Miller was just about the most famous conservative-tilting dude in Hollyood at the moment, and that while he sprinkled scorn among all politicos like many commedians do, he hit the Clintons hard and viciously and often, and he hit the Democrats harder than any other (non political, non news, non Fox) tv personality.

Brent Bozell is surprised by Miller's "conversion." It's not really a "conversion." It's an intensification or a clarification, but the man has been moderate to right-leaning for oh, about ten frickin years.

Remember who Dennis Miller supported in 1992?

It was not Clinton.

It was Perot-- a man I'm guessing a lot of you Freepers also supported.

So I find it hard to understand where this powerful belief in Miller's liberalism comes from.

I'm loving Miller right now... but I remember clearly him being nastily in favor of gun control. I remember him quoting the "you'll have my gun when you take it from my cold, dead hands" bumper sticker and then saying, "whatever" with a smile (meaning "if we have to kill you to get the gun, fine.") I'm glad he's coming out now but I'm not going to forget that particular rant.
