I know lots of entertainers are conservative these days, but Dennis Miller is not just conservative. He's not funny, and he's not nice. There's nothing even slightly entertaining about this nasty rant. In fact, if I were to speculate, I'd think he was possibly auditioning for Rush Limbaugh's dwindling audience.

At any rate, I'm sure conservative heads are exploding all over the planet, with Rush leading the way, since Sandra Fluke was nominated as Time's Person of the Year. In fact, Rush went into his usual paroxysms of outrage about women, calling for men to marry them or else they'll just be dependent on government.

Here comes Dennis Miller, echoing the same theme, saying that the women's movement has spawned "helplessness" among single women. Calling her "Moan of Arc," he goes on to say she'll probably "only accept the cover if they agree to comp her subscription."

And Bill O'Reilly giggles.

I can honestly say that aside from Rush Limbaugh, I've not heard anything quite as hateful and nasty as this against women in general, and Fluke specifically. These guys have their panties in a bunch because women get their birth control covered? This is worth demeaning over half the population?

I'm waiting for the day when news breaks that Dennis Miller begged his pregnant girlfriend to get an abortion. As hypocritical and puffed-up as he is, you have to know it's coming.
