Actually, I have. Although I disagree with him on perhaps everything, I thought his performance and wit possessed a lot of the old verve of his old HBO show.
There were moments when my heart sinks, whether he is verging on racism or belittling Biden or Pelosi, or kissing up to the 'patriots' of the Teabaggers, because it strikes me as so political-hackish.
Let me put it this way: he perhaps makes the best of NewsBusted's form, but right-wing is right-wing, and one is sorry to see Miller go in this direction.
He is punching down.
His closing really locks that down, when he talks about "sponsoring" his welfare deadbeat and asking if he as thought about getting a job.
Years ago, I heard Henry Winkler sounding like Rush Limbaugh and I realized this the natural progression of Fonzie turning old - a bitter bully.
That's what Dennis Miller has become - playing to the cheap seats. Fuck that guy. 'Patriots of the tea baggers'. Repeat that phrase to yourself a few times and let it sink in that Dennis Miller has lined himself up with the Victoria Jacksons of the world.

"Get a job!"
Miller has really sunk to thins?
It is sad.
