Missed it. I catch him once in a while, but he's yet to make a big impact on cable.

[Huck]

I caught the exchange. I thought Miller showed a lot of emotion, but not much solid argument. Ritter said the war was "illegitimate", and Miller came back that he should be more sensitive and use more tact. He didn't say that the claim itself was BS. Just that it was indelicate. I found that to be pretty weak.

The change in Dennis Miller is more typical of the change in Americans in general since 9/11 than the Dims want to believe.

I listened to it as background noise. Guess i really dont care what the child molestor had to say. After ritter the show was kind of boring so i didnt really pay it much attention.

[Sam's Army]

I saw some of that segment and Ritter came across as unsure and nervous. Miller continually impresses me with his delivery and quick wit.

[Americathy]

I saw it. Ritter was squirming like the worm he is.

[isthisnickcool]

Miller started off telling Ritter he was going to be fair with him. The Ritter pissed off Miller by saying something about soldiers lives being wasted.

I've never seen Miller get pissed off like that. I liked it!

Dennis Miller may be a nice enough person, but he still has a foul mouth. They bleeped some of what he said but not all of it. That's not entertainment to me. He should go back to HBO.

Now, before I get bombarded with "but he's pro-Bush", I already know that. I exercised my 'change the channel' option.

[alnick]

I saw part of it. I watched the Ritter interview. I almost turned the channel in disgust when I saw that Ritter would be his guest, then I realized that Miller would not go easy on Ritter, so I decided to watch. I wasn't disappointed.

I watched the varsity segment also, and enjoyed it. For once, there were no rude people interrupting each other. I can't tell you who was on the panel or what they discussed, but it was pleasant. LOL.

[omniscient]

Didn't see it. I assume Ritter was in full "I-told-you-so" mode re missing WMD and if so I'm glad I missed it.

Miller has been generally great but I was surprised when on an earlier show this week he said using the Kerry/Fonda angle against Kerry was "crap." Like many others, he seems to be mesmerized by the fact that Kerry saw action in Vietnam and deems him to therefore be off-limits regarding questions about his attitude to military and/or patriotism.

Also his attitude re ssm has been a letdown. But still, he is a wonderful antidote to the Bill Mahers and other uber-liberals infesting the media.

I fell in love with Dennis Miller last night. He is awesome. He's charming, funny, and has common sense. He is very affable and is better able to get his point across than other conservatives such as Hannity or Ann Coulter. Coulter has amazing wit, but her points are not as easily digestable as Dennis Miller's. Hannity is entertaining but a little too intense for moderates. Dennis Miller is a down to earth, lovable guy.

[Drango]

I don't watch it all the time...when I do, Dennis often takes a position that I don't agree with. For example he had Barney Frank on and they both thought homosexual marriages were OK. Barf.

I don't need to agree with someone 100%, but with DM show I find myself more in agreement with the monkey.

[fortunecookie]

I saw parts of it. I find Ritter intolerable and disgusting to watch/listen to for any length of time, so I kept switching channels. I thought - for as much of it as I saw - that Miller was using more restraint than usual. I wanted him to really let loose on this guy, but he didn't while I was watching.

It's true, Miller represents so many who have changed since 9-11, the Dems need to wake up and smell the coffee. I guess I missed the parts where he let loose on Ritter. That won't happen again. I wonder if his producers made him try to 'play nice'?

[petercooper]

I saw it. Ritter is a Saddam loyalist thru and thru. He's been paid off. His anti American rhetoric is too much to stomach. He says - Ha! No WMD were found, like we've left the country and will look no more.

They will be found and make all these clymers look like the schmucks they are.

[Rummyfan]

FYI.... Ann Coulter will be a guest on Miller's show this evening.

[GraniteStateConservative]

You can't go to war just for human rights reasons. Miller didn't have a good retort when Scott Ritter talked about how there aren't the WMD in Iraq that were said to be there and were given as the reason to be there. Miller talked about how that Ritter should use softer language because Ritter said the war was illegitimate and the families of the soldiers might be emotionally hurt by Ritter's comments. Miller's show is so awful. I had such high hopes for it.

[GunnyB]

I tivo'd Miller's show last night and watch the entire exchange. As a former Marine, his actions, his very existance makes me see RED! He sounded like he was reading from International ANSWER's talking points. Miller's response was measured, but you could certainly tell that he was extremely irritated by the statements being made by Ritter. Ritter is scum. He has defamed the United States, the US Marine Corps, and all of his former bothers. May he rot in hell...

[nuconvert]

Why does anyone continue to allow Ritter any forum whatsoever?
He should be shunned.

[Fedora]

I was looking to see if there were any threads discussing this last night! :) Here's what I posted on another thread:

Miller's comments [about the Kerry-Fonda pics] made me angry, too--I had watched every show up to then and cut him a lot of slack, but when he said that I turned the TV off in disgust and wasn't planning on watching again. However I knew he was going to have Scott Ritter on tonight and I wanted to see how he handled that, and I thought he redeemed himself pretty well--anyone else see it? He really took the wind out of Ritter's sails, I thought. My impression was that Ritter was trying to avoid Dennis' questions by using them as excuses to go into pre-rehearsed rants, but Dennis caught him off-guard by cutting into his rants with some pointed comebacks that Ritter wasn't prepared to answer. I'll give him another chance, though he does irritate me with some of his more liberal comments. Hopefully Ann Coulter will set him straight on some things :)

Has anyone seen any rating info on Miller's show? I have seen numbers from his first night, but no averages, or stats since.

Has anyone else seen anything?
