Dennis Miller Is the Tigris and Euphrates of Outrage-Incitement

Former comedian Dennis Miller was on The O'Reilly Factor Wednesday night and said more than half the country views Sarah Palin unfavorable simply because she enjoys having sex.

MILLER: Listen, she's a great dame. People are fascinated by her because the left hate her. I think the left hate her — mostly women on the left hate her, because to me, from outside in, it appears that she has a great sex life. All right? I think she has non-neurotic sex with that Todd Palin guy. I think most of the women on the Upper East Side, their husbands haven't been aroused since Mailer signed copy of The Executioner's Song at Rizzoli's back in the early '70s.

So they look at her, and they hate her. I think that snowmobile looks like mechanized foreplay to me, and that's why people are fascinated by it.

Well, first of all, I just have to say that I'm pleased to see that an esoteric literary non sequitur is what now passes for a bona fide Millerism.

Second of all, I haven't seen an attempt for attention that desperate since Billy Faulkner's birthday party. Know what I mean, babe?

Now, I don't want to get off on a rant here, Cha Cha, but the last time I saw calculated outrageousness and feigned chauvinism that lazy, I was shooting pool with Chuck Dickens and Danny Alighieri in Euripides' basement.

Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.
