"Because he's normal," said Miller, who shares the stage Saturday with Fox News Channel opinionator Bill O'Reilly at Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa as part of the duo's "Bolder & Fresher Tour 2011."
"And he wants everyone to just lighten up a little. I take the guy who f------ delivers the pizza."
Whether or not he still backs Cain, it's no secret he wants to see President Obama - whom he described (in typical, smartest-guy-in-the-room fashion) as having had "a [worse] 1,000 days longer than Anne Boleyn had" - be a one-term president. "He's about as inept a president as we've ever had," insisted Miller, who did give Obama props for his aggressive, take-no-prisoners pursuit of Mideast terror leaders Osama bin Laden and Anwar al-Awlaki.
"That's the only thing I like about him," he said. "He's a killing machine."
Miller also took the opportunity to lob a few verbal grenades at other liberals, including the Occupy Wall Street protesters and their affiliate demonstrators around the nation. "We'd be speaking Cantonese in eight months if we turned the country over to them," he sneered.
The Miller-O'Reilly pairing shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. Not only are they ideological soul mates, but Miller is an always-welcome guest on the nightly Fox News Channel jeremiad conducted by O'Reilly who, two summers ago, came to what was then the Atlantic City Hilton with former Fox teammate Glenn Beck.
"We were having dinner, and I said [to O'Reilly], 'If you ever wanna do one of those Beck kicks, I'm available,' " he said. "He said, 'If you want to, let's do it!' "
According to Miller, the show's format has each man doing a 30-minute solo turn (Miller will do stand-up; it's unclear what O'Reilly has planned). During the final 30 minutes, the duo will field questions from the audience.
If you're a hard-core conservative who expects to agree with everything the two pundits say, you might be in for a surprise: Miller doesn't always follow the right-wing line. For instance, he copped to a surprisingly tolerant, laissez-faire attitude toward same-sex marriage.
"I think I'm a pragmatist," he offered. "If two human beings with similar genitalia want to get married, it's not my business."
