He's now a news person. Tonight on CNBC.

The transformation of Miller from sharp cynical comedian with something to say, to rightest clone, is remarkable. I'll tune in just to see if there's anything left of the old Miller who was always good for a guffaw.

Actually the show is pretty good - Naomi Wolf (bless her) and David Horowitz (damn him) are sitting next to each other and actually allowing one another to talk. I couldn't do that, I'd pull his chair out :) Discussing the Patriot act, Horowitz called resistance to it "seditious" (imagine!) and Wolf calmy pointed out that Israel does not spy on Israeli citizens, because it is a useless defense against terrorism.

Horowitz is even more like the fictional Groteschele than Rumsfeld, because he actually is the angry collectivist Jew.

The downside of the show, is the extreme anti-liberal bias. I find it amazing that the very word "liberal" means "one who supports being free" - as if this were bad.

I got the sense that Miller had retrenched somewhat. He seemed reasonable. Yes, he's still funny.
