Was I on crack, or did Zell Miller challenge Chris Matthews to a duel tonight?I'm pretty sure I wasn't on crack. When you've eliminated the impossible, whatever possibility remains, no matter how implausible, must be the correct answer. Ergo: Zell Miller challenged Chris Matthews to a duel tonight. If you don't know what I'm talking about: Chris Matthews spent the entire evening decrying the treachery of Zell Miller. When Laura Ingraham pointed out he didn't seem to consider Jim Jeffords' defection treasonous, Matthews cut her off by saying that wasn't the question he had asked. He badgered Kay Bailey Hutchinson about this, then suggested that Miller should, in the interests of honor, stop drawing checks from the Senate, and actually quit the Senate. (No such suggestions were offered to Jim Jeffords, natch.) Then, his big claim of the night was that all of Kerry's anti-defense votes -- ALL of them -- either had to do purely with parliamentary procedure or else were cases of voting against a big bill because he found one particular item in that bill objectionable. He could not fathom that Kerry -- a longtime liberal and dove -- could have ever actually did what liberals and doves often do, i.e., vote against a weapon system on the merits. Finally, Zell Miller appears on camera for an interview. Chris badgers him about treachery, then keeps asking if Miller really wants to arm our troops with "spitballs." Um-- how the fuck do you answer this question? It's idiotic. Obviously, no one believes that John Kerry literally wants to arm our troops with mashed up bits of paper held together with human saliva. But Chris kept on asking. At this point, Miller told him that he wouldn't let him do to him what he did to that "little girl you had on a few weeks ago," a reference to Michelle Malkin. Chris then began asking if Miller thought that his speech had served the interests of unity in the country. Again, Chrissy never seems curious if Kerry's or McAuliffe's attacks on Bush harm unity in the country, but tonight he had quite the little bee in his bonnet about this point. At this point, Miller told him: I wish we were living in an earlier time, when dueling was permitted. And he was not smiling. I don't know if he was serious, but he also wasn't exactly kidding. Chris Matthews chuckled it off as the ravings of an angry old lunatic, and his paid panel -- including, I'm sorry to say, JC Watts -- then took Matthews side. Watts was quite eager to say that Matthews was asking straight questions ("Do you really think Kerry wants to arm our troops with spitballs?" is a straight fucking question, JC?) and that Miller hadn't been "set up" and all of this was quite right and normal. posted by Ace at 02:16 AM
Commentsthanks for the play-by-play b/c I never watch that fucking cocksucker. I might have to start watching that fucking cocksucker b/c it appears that any shred of pretense of posing as an objective journalist is long, long gone. That fucking cocksucker might be good for a laugh. I have to check the guide because I'm not sure which channel that fucking cocksucker is on. Posted by: sonofnixon on September 2, 2004 08:04 AM
I have to say I heard all of Mr. Millers speach last night. It was powerfull and moving. It also made a very clear case that John Kerry is pinko liberal ass-muncher who would never consider strengthening or even supporting the military. His speach did not consist of vapour, lies and accusations like most liberal ass-nuggets. His speach was related to John Kerrys actual friggin votong record. I guess since Christine Mathengill cannot challenge the factual parts of the speach, he managed to gently carve out the teenny little sliver of inuendo that was so obviously just a humourous little bit of fiction and she manages to wrap a crappy little unwatched show around it. I have to say I have stumbled across that assholes show a few times and I simply cannot understand how he is still on the air. I mean I would rather be ravaged by a gang of rabid howler monkeys than watch that stupid turd-burgler. Who the hell watches that asshole anymore? Posted by: Marty on September 2, 2004 09:16 AM
What's a "speach?" Zell Miller looked like a lunatic. Posted by: freedom_reign on September 2, 2004 09:35 AM
Zell showed that Matthews truly is a piss stained coward. He can beat up on a little philipino woman but show him a 72 year old marine and it's a different story. Posted by: Bill on September 2, 2004 09:35 AM
Truth is Zell Miller cut through all the b.s. and spoke the truth. John Kerry's been an absolute anti-military guy (eg, Strong America) since he returned from Vietnam (or should I say Cambodia?). Like Zell said, just look at Kerry's record. It defines the dude. In this day and age with the proliferation of WMD's and the rise of Islamic fanatics, we can't afford to have a limousine liberal's view of the world. If we do we're gonna' get rocked hard. Kerry and the Jimmy Carter foreign policy wing of the Democratic party just don't cut it in the mad mullah world we live in. Posted by: slamdunk on September 2, 2004 10:13 AM
Zell gave the crowd a some good old-fashioned hellfire and brimstone last night. Lots of ordinary people, not to include Chris Matthews and most of the American media, recognized it for what it was: a sternly-worded, hard warning from the pulpit. His follow-up with Matthews only reinforced the message: this issue is too important to be toyed with or ignored.

I'll put $100 on Zell. He is one of the few post 9-11 Democrats. You should read his book, A National Party No More. He is a great guy. They better be careful smearing him, no one will be fooled. I just saw that they are calling him a segregationist. Oh please, Byrd? Gore Sr? Fulbright? Orville Faubus? Bill Clinton? Those people are going to step into a big mess calling this good man a racist. The Clinton attack team are going to find out that smearing Zell Miller is going to be more difficult than calling the bimbo eruptions "Nuts" and "Sluts" Posted by: JoeS on September 2, 2004 12:08 PM
If the GOP wants Dixiecrat Zig Zag Zell, they can have him! I'm sure he'll fit right at home in that neanderthal/bigot/hawk/warmonger party! Good riddance! Posted by: mario hernandez on September 2, 2004 12:34 PM
Hell, if Zell Miller is a Democrat, than I'm a "Democrat" too! Who'd a thought. By gawd, if the South isn't rising again, after all. Posted by: brandon davis on September 2, 2004 12:45 PM
This struck me for the first time a few days back: Bush is the first southern Republican president. (Let's leave his dad aside for the moment). That is, he's the first one who talks southron, walks southron, etc. Not maybe 100% the genuine article, but close enough for gov't work. Prediction: should Kerry lose decisively, there will never be another nominee (of either party?)from north of New Jersey (yes, that includes NY). Except maybe Hillary. Posted by: Claudius on September 2, 2004 01:17 PM
For a while now, I've thought that Chris Matthews couldn't find his ass with both hands and a roadmap. Presumably he'll have an easier time of it now, though, given that Zell Miller handed it to him on a platter last night. Posted by: HT on September 2, 2004 01:20 PM
When I first heard that Zell Miller was giving the keynote speech I wondered about the thinking of the GOP. Have they gone nuts?, I thought. Zell Miller gave one of the most dramatic Posted by: Rick on September 2, 2004 01:47 PM
Yeah, whatever, Mario. Hey, we can call people names, too! Culero. Posted by: zetetic on September 2, 2004 02:09 PM

Zell Miller owned Matthews. The fact that he had the gall to laugh off Zell's direct challenges shows what a pussy Matthews is. GO ZELL! Posted by: matt on September 2, 2004 03:18 PM
Were we all watching the same program? Up north, from Toronto, Zel Millers speech sounded fantastic. There is no doubt he spoke from the heart, what he truly believes. Whether you agree with him or not the man took the harder path to fight for what he thinks is right. Chris Matthews on hardball really looked like a stooge. His tough questions consisted of spitballs as weapons and nurses who fight for the freedom of nurses?? I would expect better from a journalist. Posted by: on September 2, 2004 04:17 PM
Matthews almost certainly was briefed by the democratic campaign response to Zell's speech. Terry had aids sending emails out immediately to the press. There best talking point was Cheney was against the Apache weapon system too. Which while true is pretty weak since Cheney actually was trying to get the army to settle on one system rather then buying three. Posted by: Matt S. on September 2, 2004 04:35 PM
Zell Miller: Billy Graham without the "Just As I Am." Posted by: Kwisatz Haderach on September 3, 2004 03:01 AM
Miller was great. And now the Dems are takling about anything except the content of his speech. Matthews should change the name of his show to Spit Ball. Posted by: Richard on September 3, 2004 10:40 PM
the first question that Matthews asked him was about spitballs...he asked it over and over which finally got Zell to call him on his BS Posted by: Dave Milk on September 6, 2004 06:00 AM

Tucker Carlson Network Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this. He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again. You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.
