SORRY Messed up the link, here's the rest of the article:

Miller, a registered Republican, has become increasingly known for his political views. He bashed anti-war activists on a "Tonight" show appearance last spring, calling filmmaker Michael Moore a "stupid moron" for criticizing President Bush at the Academy Awards.

A few months later, Miller was the opening act at a Bush fund-raiser in California, earning him a ride on Air Force One and the president's limousine. He said of Bush's Democratic opponents: "I haven't seen a starting nine like that since the '62 Mets."

There was talk among some Republican political strategists of running Miller as an opponent to California Sen. Barbara Boxer.

CNBC President Pamela Thomas-Graham said Miller was intelligent and brought a unique perspective to issues.

"Even if people don't agree with him, they'll find what he's saying interesting," she said. "Our audience isn't looking for someone to tell them how to think."

CNBC has recently begun making moves to boost a lackluster prime-time lineup that can't match the ratings strength it had in the 1990s with Geraldo Rivera. Brian Williams' nightly CNBC newscast will end next year when Williams takes over from Tom Brokaw at NBC's "Nightly News."

Currently, CNBC airs "The Capital Report" at 9 p.m. four nights a week. Maria Bartiromo's news show has the time slot on Monday nights. Thomas-Graham said CNBC will continue to look at other programming ideas, though they won't include scripted comedies or dramas.

Miller's show will be taped each night at NBC's studios in Burbank. Terms of his deal were not disclosed.

He said of Bush's Democratic opponents: "I haven't seen a starting nine like that since the '62 Mets."

Now that's funny....obviously NBC sees the light; Donahue's out, Scaraborough country's in, now Miller, "Saving Jessica Lynch" in a week...how long before they give Katie the Commie the boot.

I LOVE Dennis Miller. Don't always agree with him but he makes me LAUGH OUT LOUD!!! He did a little schtick on the Tonight show not too long ago talking about Nancy Pelosi and hubby and I alsmost fee off the couch laughing. He crossed up his eyes and said "Do you know why she looks like this? It's because she can't believe it either that she got this far!" He'll be great on CNBC -- O'Reilly better look out!

God, I would love to see Moore on Miller's show. It would be like shooting puppies in a barrel. I wonder if Moore would simply be stymied into the heart attack he is long overdue for?

Did you ever wonder how many answers there were to the question "Why is Micheal Moore like a blood filled tick?"
