The good folks at Fox News must have known that many conservatives were going to need some comic relief after watching the President's healthcare address Wednesday.
As a result, they wisely stuck with the normal schedule, and invited comedian Dennis Miller to join Bill O'Reilly in a post-address chit chat.
When the topic moved to Glenn Beck and Van Jones, Miller did what he does best (video embedded below the fold with partial transcript, relevant section at 5:05):
He nailed that guy with videotape. It was, it was like Carl Betz on "Judd for the Defense," man. It was absolutely beautiful. And Van Jones said he was going to open up some green jobs. I gotta give the guy this, he opened up a big one this week.
The thing I'm wondering about is why Barack Obama has idiots like that around him in his (unintelligible)...Listen, Barack Obama has worse taste in men than Lana Turner. And Howard Dean coming out and saying, 'Well he's a best-selling author.' What does that mean? Why don't we put Jackie Suzanne in charge of the Cuban missile crisis?
God's sakes, Van Jones. Van Jones, you know, as soon as they, Billie, it's a complete abdication of personal responsibility when somebody can show videotape of you in your own words, and you can say you've been smeared! That's how relativistic it's gotten.
Indeed, Dennis. But you can only get away with that if the media let's you.

$900 billion in loose change
September 9, 2009 - 23:17 ET by KC MulvilleYou know what I don't get? Obama thinks he can pay for a $900 billion dollar reform by recovering waste and abuse.
You mean we've had nearly a trillion dollars of loose change floating around, and only NOW they're getting around to recovering it?
Yes, its true!
September 10, 2009 - 00:00 ET by aeroveloYou can really save a lot by printing on both sides of the paper, or maybe buying those cheap yellow Bic pens, or maybe trying extra hard to turn the lights off when you leave the room. It all adds up!
In a few hundred thousand years we should easily have saved $900 billion...maybe even more!

Limited Disclosure: I used to belong to the Sierra Club untill they went crazier. Worse of all, I was bribed by Exxon with free New Orleans Saints glasses with fill ups in the 70's.
and yet....
September 10, 2009 - 02:23 ET by jon_torlinThey are going to pretty much gut the space program's plan of returning to the moon just because it will cost $3 billion more than before.
They are going to spend trillions and don't want to spend $3 billion more for the space program?
Something stinks about that. It's like Nixon versus JFK all over again where he pretty much killed the moon program to be replaced by the space shuttle which is not much more than a truck hauling things around to a short distance.
Anyone hear about this?

NASA all but grounded
September 10, 2009 - 08:27 ET by jon_torlinThe space shuttle program is all but over, and the Orion and Constellation program were going to be the replacements. I have a friend who works at NASA (environmental engineer, as in environment of space crafts, including ISS) and he said that a bunch of good people are going to be out of jobs because of this. They were a bit behind schedule but that's always the case when working on/building new equipment to go into space. Now it won't be completed at all.
I think Soetoro probably decided that Space wasn't that important for advancement of technology, but then again, Muslims practice a religion that's so 14th Century.
Here's the article on it:

Re NASA
September 10, 2009 - 10:46 ET by slickwillie2001Re NASA, yet recall when the Bamster gave his smartass speech a couple of months ago, where he snidely hectored Republicans, telling us that "spending is stimulus; no really, that's what it's all about." He wanted us to think that all spending is stimulative, but of course he really means spending on his pet social programs.
Spending on NASA, the F-22, research into fusion power, etc, are not stimulative and do not create jobs, in Obama-World.
Miller's patience with The
September 9, 2009 - 23:43 ET by RR GOPMiller's patience with The One seems to be wearing a little thin these days, while O'Reilly seems to be as accomodating as ever and has his head buried in the sand over the public option plan (he believes Dear Leader threw that under the bus tonight in the spirit of bipartisanship if not simple pragmatism in order to get most of the Socialized medicine bill through).
One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 86% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory.

I think the old saying "birds of a feather flock together" explains it quite well, Dennis.

I've been saying that myself for over a year and a half about O'dumbo!
I can't watch Dennis Miller anymore
September 10, 2009 - 08:19 ET by nwahsI find his sucking up to O'Reilly obnoxious.
Politics is showbiz for ugly people
I think that is just his
September 10, 2009 - 15:18 ET by inquiringmindI think that is just his schtic. He would do the same if he were sitting with Jay Leno. Obnoxious? I would call it more a self confident cool cat type of personality. He knows his stuff so why not be confident in what he has to say.
