Dennis Miller guest hosting for Sean Hannity

When O'Reilly ended at 2pm local, it took me a few minutes to get to the radio (cooking) and lo and behold, when the next program in the broadcast array hit my reciever the voice of Dennis Miller appeared. I had heard that one of his rants defended John Ashcroft (local boy, by the way, the AG attended high school here in town, as did Brad Pitt) so I was intrigued. The first segment was a hilarious introduction of his political views and his drift rightward. I am certainly enjoying this show and looking forward to the next two and a half hours.

Miller's transformation as an explicit conservative comic has attracted quite a bit of commentary. Criticism in the Boston Phoenix. The blog one good move is not happy. Here is the rant on civil liberties. Dennis on Norman Mailer in the WSJ.
