Dennis Miller Rants on Norman Mailer

I usually love Dennis Miller’s rants on the lunacy of the left. And I approached this editorial with some anticipation since he was to skewer the odd writings of Norman Mailer’s London Times op/ed last week.

Unfortunately, Dennis comes off as too cute here. His trademark analogies and similies seemed overworked and strained and his logic is more faulty than usual.

Maybe you will like it more than I did. Joe Bob says check it out.

His basic contention is that we went to war with Iraq because with the dominance of white American men in the boxing ring, the office and the home front eroded, George W. Bush thought they needed to know they were still good at something. Mr. Mailer has a degree in aeronautical engineering from Harvard so he had to know that argument wouldn't fly. But then again, maybe this claptrap is just a grand put-on. The fact that I and many others can't differentiate anymore does not augur well for Norm's legend.
