Dennis Miller Gives Harry Reid The Smackdown Of A Lifetime

Ken McCracken  •  June 11, 2007

He says things even Reid’s colleagues have to have thought but didn’t dare say. Dorian Gray’s lighting stand-in? How does he come up with stuff like that?


The rant is from Fox News’ The Half Hour News Hour, meant to be the conservative answer to the Daily Show. It’s been criticized in the past (and rightfully so) for being appalling unfunny, but I think Miller just give it a shot in the arm.
I mean, seriously, eat your heart out Jon Stewart.

    I’m not sure the sushi-eating set in New York or LA know what he is talking about either.

    He’s a pretty smart guy.

    WOOF, if you really think that, instead of having yet another moment of uncontrolled snark, you’re never watched the program.

    Some of the funniest political commentary I’ve seen was aired on that show.

    Was that Harry Reid that Miller was describing? Could just as easily have been Robert Byrd, Ted Kennedy, “Living Legend” Diane Feinstein, Barney Frank, Tom Lantos, John Lewis, or Charlie Rangle… old, whiny liberals all.

    Seems to me someone blogged something about the Democrats portraying themselves as a fresh face in politics!

    CSI DNA testing?

    He spoke about her drawing a chalk outline around Harry. DNA had nuttin’ to do wit it!

    Mark Helgenberger, Demosthenes, magnum opus, translucent shade, Thermapolye, caulking gun, all in two minutes. Fire the writers.

    WOOF: Don’t blame Dennis if you can’t keep up!

    I’d try to keep up with you, WOOF, but the thought of being comatose doesn’t appeal to me!

    It’s easy to say eat your heart out, Jon Stewart, but Jon Stewart does this way better than this guy does, although he does have a refreshing frankness to him.

    Mark Helgenberger

    That’s Marg! Not Mark!

    My my my……so, mike, apparently you think that someone from above the Mason-Dixon line is an automatic candidate for the Mensa Society, while through some tragic genetic shortcomings all of us Southerners just need to sit on the porch and whittle, drink moonshine, and beat our wives between spitting and picking our noses.

    Well, my Yankee friend, any time you’d care to debate me on any subject you choose let me know, especially in literature, history, or politics. I enjoy putting elitist snobs in their place. And there are many other contributors to this site from the South who can deconstruct your mindless prattlings as well as I can.

    Have a nice day, peanut.

    Proof:

    Ha!!! My comment then seems appropriate now:

    If these guys try to rock the vote they’ll rock themselves to sleep.

    Fun stuff, Proof. Our elected [expletive deleted] are getting a bit long in the tooth. Or antenna. Whatever.

    By the way, the deleted word is “co*kroaches”. I didn’t know that was a bad word. Unless you’re a democrat.

    Well, well. Another liberal bigot heard from. And you’re from where, Mike? Some utterly forgettable Rust Belt, ghetto?

    I would recommend Michael Barone’s recent WSJ article on the country’s on-going demographic shift and the effect on electoral politics, but of course, the very first presumption is that you are sufficiently literate to read the words and comprehend their meaning. Never mind.

    WOW! That was so well said. Dennis Miller said everything I have always wanted to say and more about Harry Reid. That was SO beautiful… Harry Reid really should NEVER speak in public again. I love that!… That has such a nice ring to it.

    Actually, it’s illegitimis(with a long i), dative plural, I believe. “Don’t let the bastards…”

    Mike: To quote Lenny Bruce: “If you want to see real prejudice, speak in a Southern accent.”

    shade: A disembodied spirit; a ghost.

    Wow! The thought of a translucent ghost! Bet only Hitler had those, huh, WOOF?

    Try looking at the remark in context before you spew comparison to the Nazis! (Then consider that the comparison says more about you than it does about Dennis Miller!)

    I caught his act in Vegas a couple years ago. He was great! Then a couple weeks after that, I spotted him in the long security line in the airport in Denver, shuffling through security with the rest of us!

  • Pilgrim

    By the way, Proof….

    I love your little addage. I have the same on a litle plaque on my desk, except mine’s in the plural instead of the singular….Illigitimi non carborundum - don’t let the bastards grind you down.

    gotta love the Third Reich imagery.

    Man, when they let the illiterates out of the asylum, they come up with all kinds of wacky crap!

  • Pilgrim

    Sorry…Illegitimi. It’s early.

    Miller on Reid: he’s stupid, he’s old, he talks funny, he’s whiny.

    Was that Harry Reid that Miller was describing? Could just as easily have been Robert Byrd, Ted Kennedy, “Living Legend” Diane Feinstein, Barney Frank, Tom Lantos, John Lewis, or Charlie Rangle… old, whiny liberals all.

    Wow! Mike is such an intellectual. NOT!

  • http://sayanythingblog.com/readers/author/Anna/ Anna

    Buy hey … he was within the Marg in of being right on the Mark

  • Pilgrim

    Oh, and by the way, mike,

    I’m from the REALLY deep South. If you go any further south from where I live in south Louisiana you’ll be swimming in the Gulf.

    Geography has little to do with intellect, as your post clearly shows.

  • robert108

    Dennis got all of that one! A definite home run.

  • docdave

    Miller has an amazing grip on the english language. I want to consult a dictionary every time he speaks. As for Reid, he reminds be of the living dead, a zombie who spouts the party line while incapable of thought or reason.

    Then why is he on Fox News?

  • Kirk

    Mike, I live in a state similar to those you mentioned – Mississippi. And I will put my knowledge of history, philosophy and obscure references up against your knowledge any day of the week.

    Why don’t you stop ad hominem abusive remarks about Southerners and actually discuss issues?
