8/18 Memo to Dennis Miller
Paul Krugman kicked your ass tonight, hard.
Pack your audience with USC frat boys and Freepers if you want, but it sounded to me like the studio audience's response to your ham-handed japes was as spontaneous as a Happy Days laugh track.
You couldn't refute any of his points with facts, as you had no facts at your disposal. It was fun to watch him knock down everything you said with data. The only difference between you and O'Reilly is that you have better manners, and a better tailor.
As Arianna Huffington put it so delightfully:
"Dennis, if you crawl any further up George Bush's ass, you're going to be the Sammy Davis, Jr. to his Richard Nixon."
