Book Reviews of Still Ranting After All These Years
Book Review: " How can I believe what's coming out of your mouth when your scalp is screaming LIAR?" Slurred, rambling, and not very funny.
Summary: 1 Stars
I used to be a big fan of Miller's comedy from way back, when he used to satirize everyone on all sides of the political spectrum. But his unfortunate lurch to the far-right post 9/11 meant he immediately stopped making jokes about Conservatives or Republicans, including George W Bush because in Miller's words " I don't make jokes about my friends". (yuck)
To be a comedian and not make jokes about the current president, especially one of the least competent or popular presidents ever, is completely missing the point of being a comedy satirist.
As it is , there's precious little to laugh at here.
It's probably the loss of his talented HBO writers, but the rants here compared to the snappy and funny rants of old sound overlong, light on gags, and very badly delivered. Miller sounds like he recorded this CD after a 15 hour flight from Australia - he slurs his words and stumbles over punchlines like a tired old man, spoiling whatever point he's trying to make.
Not that his arguments are that convincing in the first place. A bitchy jibe at newsman Sam Donaldson for wearing a wig when Miller has himself had hairplugs sewn into his head to hide his own baldness is hypocrisy of the highest order.
(To quote Miller here, " How can I believe what's coming out of your mouth when your scalp is screaming LIAR?")
Don't do what I did and try listening to this CD whilst driving on a long jouney. You'll need to pull over several times to stop falling asleep at the wheel. Avoid at all costs.
Summary of Still Ranting After All These Years
If you thought Dennis Miller was done ranting, guess again. In Still Ranting After All These Years, recorded in early 2002, Miller is in fine form, commenting on everything from "War and Terrorism" to Enron; from "Obsessed Parents" to the "End of Class;" to "Truth in the Media," and so much more. Throughout, Miller is what we have come to expect from him: smart, cutting, laugh-out-loud funny, and more times than not ... right.
