Dennis Miller deals with conspiracy theorist
I’ve been listening to the Dennis Miller radio show a bit now. You can listen live at his site and download the show from his web site.
On Friday Dennis got a call from a dude pitching his conspiracy web site. Listen as Dennis deals with the call.

Dennis “deals” with conspiracy theory? At what point?
Since when is telling someone that he has a tight headband either an insightful or comical rejoinder?
If you want to plug Dennis Miller, may I suggest a better clip and the headline: “Plug for Dennis Miller”?
under any plain definition of “deal”, dennis miller “dealt” with the conspiracy theorist. but whether you think “to deal” in this case means to provide an exceptionally funny joke or thoroughly researched point-by-point refutation, the “we bombed ourselves on 9-11″ theory doesn’t any of that. it is hardly even a rational idea: people like rosie o’donnell have made it into some baseless political rallying cry (see also, “HALLIBURTON!!!!”).
that said, i thought miller’s response was pretty funny. he turned the guy’s own prop (the headband) against him to make a joke.
plus, dennis was justified doing whatever he wanted. the caller was just trying to plug some website, not have a real discussion.
