Miller Time? - Is it

Miller Time? - Is it time for California to send Dennis Miller to Washington?

"IS CALIFORNIA READY for Dennis Miller as its next United States senator? Laugh if you like, but some Republican strategists (including a few who just sent a certain movie star to Sacramento) see Miller, the sardonic comedian whose late-night talk show lasted just a little longer than Wesley Clark's Iowa campaign, as wholly capable of defeating incumbent Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer next year."

I liked Dennis Miller when he was a liberal.

I like him now that he's a new-found conservative.

As a Senator? Pinch me, I'm dreaming...

But there's just no way. You can't say things like this...:

"You know, Jay, I used to be a liberal. You look at what happens in the state of California with untethered liberalism. Everybody in this state in charge now is a Democrat. It's no longer the San Andreas Fault, it's Gray Davis's fault. This is what happens when you elect lawyers. Shakespeare said: 'First, kill all the lawyers.' I've been doing some thinking, I think we could get away with it because if you kill all of them, at our murder trial, we wouldn't have adequate representation."

...without the media pinching a hissy.

I remember when a faction of the Minnesota GOP was pondering drafting former KSTP talk show host Jason Lewis. The man's conservative credentials were impeccable, he was a very solid thinker...

...and he had eight years of program material that could be spun against him with the general public.

Would Miller fare better?

One can hope.
