Dennis Miller's Basic Cable Turd

I missed the first five minutes of Dennis Miller's new show on CNBC, but the parts I saw stunk. The first part, where Dennis Miller interviewed Arnold Schwarzenegger, was pathetic. Schwarzenegger went over his talking points over and over, while Miller sat fawning, complimenting his "cadence". Here's the short version of the interview.

Schwarzenegger: Vote Yes on Proposition 57! Vote Yes on Proposition 58! We need to work together! I'm going to bring economic recovery! Vote Yes on Proposition 57! Vote Yes on Proposition 58! We need to work together! I'm going to bring economic recovery!
Miller: Can we make out?

Then he did his "Daily Rorshach", which apparently involves reciting un-funny jokes about the news and hoping for laughs from the crew. (This immediately followed Miller's criticism of studio audiences filled with tourists, explaining that there was no audience but the crew, and that "you'll figure out where the laughs go". I didn't.)

Lastly, Miller had a David Horowitz, Naomi Wolf, and David Frum do a panel discussion on the War on Terror (which apparently only involves Iraq), and New Hampshire. Horowitz and Frum read the RNC talking points, Wolf rolled her eyes, and I couldn't believe I was watching.

I don't think this show will last long.
