Sure, I've done it many times. I've only done it with underwear and socks -- but it can be done with anything that doesn't have metal on it. But I personally wouldn't use this technique for anything valuable or expensive, unless it's like an emergency kind of situation.
One of the commenter's techniques is exactly the one I use -- check often to make sure the clothes don't burn (as the wetness decreases, the frequency of the checks should increase, to around 10 or 15 seconds). If I have time, I use the microwave just long enough to get the clothes ALMOST dry, and then use a regular table fan for half an hour or so for the last bit of wetness.
I made the mistake once or twice of burning clothes. With sufficient care, though, this is an easily avoidable outcome.
