Dennis gets his own talk show!

Dennis Miller (news), the sardonic comedian who delivered a fake newscast on "Saturday Night Live (news - Y! TV)" and told jokes in the "Monday Night Football" booth, will host a prime-time political talk show on CNBC.

The network said Thursday it had inked Miller to a multiyear deal for the political chat show, set to begin in January.

Miller said he would work four nights a week at 9 p.m. ET. More

October 31, 2003 -- WASHINGTON - Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said yesterday that revolting new Iraq torture tapes "portray a regime that was about as vicious as any regime could conceivably be." Rumsfeld also said "there are a lot" more videotapes that show similar atrocities from the Saddam Hussein era.

The new 23-minute tape, obtained and aired by Fox News Channel, shows Saddam's thugs tossing Iraqis from a building and beating, beheading and dismembering them in front of a mob in a public square.

The network said the tape, recently declassified, was given to Army soldiers in Iraq by an Iraqi civilian who played a role in its creation and is now cooperating with U.S. interrogators.

The tape shows Saddam's black-clad Fedayeen militiamen punishing soldiers suspected of desertion and disloyalty in the late 1990s.

"When you have people . . . cutting off people's heads and chopping off their fingers and chopping off their hands, throwing them off three-story buildings, you learn something about a group of people and how they lived their lives and how they treated their people," Rumsfeld said yesterday.

"We are so fortunate they are gone and that those 23 million people are liberated," Rumsfeld said. Thread
