<P>"Surprisingly [Dennis Miller] is tougher on Lenny Bruce. 'Lenny was
a heroin addict, and I could care less about heroin addicts,' Mr. Miller said.
'Once I hear a guy is a heroin addict, and they tell me he's a genius, I think,
really? I'm not trying to be judgmental. But anybody whose last vision is of a
tile pattern on a bathroom floor, I don't know what kind of genius they are.'

<P>Gotta love the "Lenny" tag -- as if Miller knew the guy personally. Bruce may
not have been a comedy genius (that's open to debate), but he was fearless and a
trailblazer whose career was literally taken from him in a way that Miller
cannot imagine. Miller was sacked by "Monday Night Football" and ended up
performing his poli-sci shtick on Fox and now CNBC. Plus, he's buds with W., the
man, he told Time mag, he most admires. Wonder what Lenny would've thought of
that. </P>
