  Dennis Miller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dennis Miller (born November 3, 1953 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is an American comedian, political and social commentator, and television personality.
Miller hinted that his short stint with Fox might not have been the most satisfying, as he would occasionally mention the term "Factor Gear" in a derisive tone of voice (referring to Bill O'Reilly's signature line of souvenirs).
Miller has said that one of the defining moments, in addition to 9-11, for his move from the Democratic to the Republican Party was watching a 2004 primary debate between the nine Democrats then contending for their party's nomination.

 Duncan Currie on Dennis Miller on National Review Online
Miller was equally scathing about the Religious Right, labeling Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, and Oliver North a group of "modern-day Torquemadas" who "can't wait to seize the reins and begin slaughtering the nonbelievers." He also defended Joycelyn Elders when she was fired as surgeon general after arguing that masturbation should be "taught" in public schools.
Miller's caricatures of the two were simple: Clinton as the horny hillbilly; Kennedy as the sloppy drunk.
And perhaps most surprisingly, Miller has never wavered in his support for the death penalty and his opposition to affirmative action — quite remarkable for someone in the entertainment industry.
