Book Reviews of I Rant, Therefore I Am
Book Review: Fun Rants From A Pre-Politically Awakened Miller
Summary: 4 Stars
I think Dennis Miller is a smart and funny guy, and enjoy watching his show. He is one of the more perceptive interviewers out there, and even when I disagree with him, I am always interested in what he has to say, and what the diverse group of panelists he has on says as well. This book, which was written before Dennis had his political awakening on September 11, 2001, is more center-left politically than he currently is. I think Miller has matured and become a realist since 9/11, and find it interesting comparing some of his rants in this book to his more highly evolved positions today.
The best rants in this book, though, are the apolitical rants, my favorite of which is titled "Fear of Flying." Dennis Miller hates flying, and his insights are extremely entertaining to me, a professional airline pilot. What is interesting here is that except for the actual fear of being airborne, I totally agree with him on the subject of modern airline travel. My favorite line from this particular rant sums up his position perfectly: "Once you've nestled into your seat, which was last cleaned by the Earth-bound third Wright Brother, Noodles, and you've arranged your miniscule stinky synthetic car wash shammy [sic] of a blanket and your Stay Free pillow pad that's the size and softness of a geltab multivitamin, and adjusted to the jet cold, tuberculosis-microbe-laden recirculated air that's blowing right down your spine, you've now achieved the comfort level of a North Korean POW with an ingrown toenail and no premium cable." What can I say? He's right. This is why on my days off you will see me as far away from the airport as is humanly possible.
I would give the book five stars, except the frequently needless adult language really restricts the audience of people with whom I can share this brilliant work. Dennis thanks for setting the world straight.
Book Review: he is a disgrace!
Summary: 1 Stars
I am so sick of this guy going on Leno all the time. All he does is selfishly talk about him self and not care for others. And to state Bill and Hillary are still married for "CONVENIENCE"? P-lease! To say something like that would be ubsurd, because the only people who know the truth are Bill and Hillary, who to my knowledge are still married. His comments regarding the enviornment are TRULY un-called for. "Get out of a tree and get a job." First off, I happen to be an enviornmentalist but I have a job. Sorry we don't make $1,000,000,000 a year publishing books based on our rants and go on talk shows blabbering like a 2-year-old. Republicans laugh at Al Franken for being "childesh" (and how hypocritical by previously saying liberals are "Name-callers"?) when they have this fellow to look at. I mean for God's sake he's voting for Arnold! Shouldn't that say enough?Book Review: Don't waste your dollars !!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Dennis Miller is a hypocrite and an angry comedian as well as an awful television show host that turned politician. He uses a sensational pseudo-conservative style of venomous insults and loud belligerence to make a buck. He has aligned himself with the right people, in order to advance his limited and uneventful career. He is being used by the media executives to advance their corporate political agenda.
His writers have done a good job launching a below average comedian and making him a political "idiot savant."
Comedians should stick to comedy.
Save your money!!
Book Review: Monday Night Mac Arthee
Summary: 1 Stars
Ever since Miller was punted from previous gig, he apparently has a lot of time on his hands. Is he bitter? If you can imagine a miniskirted right wing blond riding the Clydesdales in Tolstoy's Russia, you might conclude Miller has been always already unfunny.Remember: The right wing lies. The right wing hates. They only want your money so they can buy drugs or gamble. Ignore them!
Book Review: not as funny as the miniskirted McCarthy
Summary: 1 Stars
If you can imagine a miniskirted McCarthyite riding a Clydesdale in Tolstoy's Russia, you might be able to fathom the absurdity of this book.Remember: The Right wing tells lies. They want your money so they can buy drugs and gamble in casinos. Ignore them!
