I strayed a few clicks away from the News.Google.com landing page the other day and watched a video featuring Dennis Miller helping Bill O’Really recap his non interview with a US Senator.

I felt pretty repulsed by Dennis Miller. I haven’t closely followed his performances during this century. When I was a residence assistant at college in the early 90’s, I used to catch SNL in the basement TV room quite regularly. That Dennis Miller and this one do not seem to be the same person.

I was so bothered by what I saw that it really got me thinking about this man and his public persona. I started to think that it was an elaborate joke. I thought that would make for a good blog post. After a bit of research though, I found out that Whitehouse.gov made all the points I was planning to make in the form of a brilliant fake interview with Miller in 2004. I guess the only thing I can add is that his fake chicken hawk is more convincing than Stephen Colbert’s. The transparency of Stephen’s rapport is by design and very much to his advantage. Dennis Miller, the real Dennis Miller, is caught in a trap of his own making.

I love you Dennis, in that I have a love for all mankind and want us to somehow make things right (as in the opposite of wrong, not the opposite of left).
