But I've got to give Miller credit...it was gutsy for him to do some "openings" for
Dubya during campaign appearances.

I heard him say that he was asked to open for the president early in the campaign, but was not asked again later in the campaign.

I heard him say that he was asked to open for the president early in the campaign,
but was not asked again later in the campaign.

I hadn't heard that.
Maybe he started slipping into that ill-advised Monday Night Football schtick.

Miller's a cut above the average comic, but some of the allusions in his
jokes are so obscure that his routine sometimes is more like a Trivial
Pursuit contest.
