Miller Time

I'm a big fan of Dennis Miller. While a lot of people don't find him very funny, he's always tickled my funny bone. I like a comedian with wit and brains. Here he is taking it to one of the dimmest bulbs in Hollywood, Rosie O'Donnell.

My favorite line:
If we want to check Ramney al-Kaboom because he took 4 bomb cook books out in a month all of the sudden it’s wrong.
"Ramney al-Kaboom," classic Miller. Rosie tries trotting out one of Ben Franklin's most misquoted lines, "If you sacrifice liberty for perceived security you don’t deserve either" (her words, poor grammar and all.) But as somebody notes in the comments section, Franklin's full quote is actually "Those who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security deserve neither liberty nor security." Those few words make a big difference in his meaning. It's almost as bad as the bogus quote attributed to Thomas Jefferson that dissent is the highest form of patriotism. Sorry, he never said it. Oh well, I've never accused liberals of not being afraid of putting their ignorance on display.
