We're not going to boo-hoo for him. No doubt he's set for life financially. He can now express his hate and intolerance and stupidty during family dinners, where it belongs. He never deserved a public platform to begin with. As for Tucker Carlson, isn’t he from a well-monied family? We’re not going to boo-hoo for him. No doubt he’s set for life financially.

Where ya’ been? Dennis Miller is syndicated nationwide. (They can do that now…for about the last 60 years.) Comment by O.

I actually feel sorry for Dennis Miller. He showed promise once upon a time, but now he's just a pathetic fool. Like you. Sad. Wake up, man. Where ya’ been? Dennis Miller is syndicated nationwide.

Hey Tuck, i'm one of those "retarded cousins" (Canadian) you once referred to on one of your blast offs. Tucker was funny though. At least he had the balls to "expand" his resume by challenging the other side. Unlike Coulter and O'Reily who, even though their ratings are in the tank, can't seem to gather enough intellegence to break away from the "shock factor."
