Newsmax Interview With Dennis Miller

A short interview. Here are a few questions and answers from the end of it.

NEWSMAX: So how do you classify yourself politically?

MILLER: I’m a Republican conservative. I am an objectivist. I do believe Ayn Rand rings true. I am not the more strident type, so I can’t go all the way with it. But I do believe in accountability in the universe.

NEWSMAX: So you’re a Republican conservative, small “l” libertarian. Would that be correct?

MILLER: I hear libertarian thrown around a lot. I am registered as a Republican. As far as defense of the country and fiscal stuff, I’m conservative. And I’m socially liberal.

NEWSMAX: Are you a tea partyer?

MILLER: Yes, I would go in a second. I like the tea party people; I admire them. Yes, you can put me down for that. I like the fact that it stays small. Those big marches peter out the next day. I like the fact the tea party happens in people’s drawing rooms.

NEWSMAX: You’ve denied it before, but your name often comes up as a potential public servant.

MILLER: You know what? As much as I would love to get at a podium opposite Barbara Boxer, and believe me, I have dreams about that, I am just not cut out for it. It’s the glacial aspect of it. It moves so slowly. I would get kicked out. I would just step up to the mic when they gave me my two minutes and say, “This is bull****.” We have got to make sure that these kids come back from war and they never pay another tax. Forget giving $60 million to ACORN; give it to the troops. I would just be so off the reservation that they’d probably kick me out.
