Miller: "“Can I tell you how jazzed I am about this cat?"

Cat?...CAT?

That can't be considered anything but racist.




Actually, within jazz, it is quite a compliment to refer to a musician as a "cat."

Since so much of jazz is improvised, it's a way of saying the artist has his own groove and can deliver. He may start with sheet music, however, at one point he does his own thing that people dig.

Alternate voicing? Cain doesn't need a teleprompter.

Miller is old school. He speaks of a “cool cat” which covers a wide range of professions, but speaks of a talented, level headed guy.

"within jazz, it is quite a compliment"

So Dennis Miller and Herman Cain are both jazz musicians?

I had no idea.
