i was shocked to hear dennis miller making fun of the Holy Eucharist, (Holy Communion), joking about the Catholic Church coming out with sublingual version and pop-rocks version etc.

(Remember when Bill Cosby did similar many years ago --- stating something like Communion needed some peanut butter and jelly to go with it -- this had damaged his comedy career for years back then)

I listen DM almost daily and enjoy his show. Smart, funny, and on the right side of most issues. His heartfelt and genuine support for our troops is always sincere and touching. He and his sidekick on the show (Sal) will go off on these impromptu bits and they are usually very funny. If he crossed a line here it was while riffing humor at a fast pace. I’m sure he’d be the first to apologize. Also, he is Catholic.

May I have link? I have met him several times at parties and found his politics changed to a pragmatism that I can deal with and rationally discuss issues.

Thanks.

I remember him years ago making a comment about confession and how one could behave in awful ways and go to confession or be “born again’ in a evangelical fashion and poof, all the bad things are gone. He then said, “It must be nice to have this ecumenical white-out.” But that he felt that the whole sum of a person's life would be more telling of the soul at the end.

Perhaps this new slam is meant as criticism at a church that needs a lot of repair. Some may feel it a slam, but I thought it a great theological point in typical Miller sarcasm.

From what I have seen, she is an earnest person and may well count as a conservative, but she expresses herself very poorly and inarticulately. I used to think she was simply playing a dizzy blonde. Now I think she really is one.

Dennis is more of a libertarian, irreligious, conservative. He is right about the more important issues.

... since i only heard it on the radio show in the car ... i don’t have a link ... i guess a member to his website could listen to it in the archives .... i was thinking of joining as a member, but not now.

he is interesting and controversial but not really as funny as he thinks he is.

[Vendome]

I think his show is funny and pragmatic. Not the usual Dogma, like Savage or Levin, who are a riot and informative most days. Other days they are too much and got change the channel.

Dennis’ time slot has been bounce around, in my market, so I have no idea when he is on anymore.
