Maureen Dowd challenges Zell Miller to a duel

[russian33]

SEN. Zell Miller (D- Traitorous Bastard) laced into New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd yesterday on the "Imus in the Morning" radio show, saying, "The more Maureen Loud gets on 'Meet the Press' and writes those col umns, the redder these states get. I mean, they don't want some high brow hussy from New York City explaining to them that they're id iots and telling them that they're stupid." Miller also suggested "that red-headed woman at the New York Times" should not mock anyone's religion: "You can see horns just sprouting up through that Technicolor hair." Dowd responds: "I'm not a highbrow hussy from New York. I'm a highbrow hussy from Washington. Senator, pistols or swords?"

1. My money's on MoDo. (nt)

[NoPasaran]

32. Mine too!

After all, she ate Howard Dean for breakfast and then lunched on Wesley Clark!

[LisaM]

2. How can people not see he's completely crazed?

Ouch.

[Obviousman]

3. the scary thing is

he's not crazed. he's just the natural product produced by republicans nowadays. give it 20 years, and every single republican will be talking like him. are the democrats ready?

[Soup Bean]

19. Blue Dog Democrat

LBJ lost him when he signed the Civil Rights Act.

Plus, he's from the Appalachian Mountains, just a little further south than me. God, Guns, Gays......that's the problems. They love their government pork, just don't mess with their 3 G's.

If you want the South back, let Bush reinstate the draft. Either that, or a Great Depression that requires government action. OR, we could do about 30 years worth of grassroots work, take back the school boards, city councils...or is that too much work?

[karlrschneider]

4. Zell - Alzheimer's on steroids.

:grr:

[flakey_foont]

5. It's Time

to up the dosages on that crabby, worthless old fart

[otohara]

6. Gawd, He's Out of Control

how fucking rude - this is the way it's going to be folks. It's payback time, every chance they get in the media - they will unleash their hatred for liberals, cuz the liberals hated *.

[flakey_foont]

13. Get that man some prozac! Fast!

I'll chip in a quarter

[Blue in the face]

21. It's a right-wing pile-on

I'm sure this was already mentioned, but normally moderate NM Senator Alan Simpson said the same thing to Bill Maher the other day.

Apparently when you "lose" an election, you lose your right to make jokes as well.

[flakey_foont]

28. Are you saying

that Zell lost an erection?

[otohara]

29. GOP Talking Points Wrath Is Here

Simpson has his spew planned - It wouldn't have mattered what Maher said, Simpson was going to unleash his anger no matter what!

[tsuki]

25. No, his mention of NY was

very deliberate. Y'all should have been kinder to Masta Bush when he had his convention in NY.

Now you are in the Prez's Taxachuettes column.

Expect more hate attacks from Washington D. C.

[Kikosexy2]

7. My money's...

on the high-brow hussy. The red states need to be reminded over and over, foever and ever how stupid they really all are. May they drown in their "moral values" filth.

[rockydem]

8. I've had it with these self-righteous red staters

No one is more self-righteous and condemning that right wingers like Zell. Fuck them.

[okieinpain]

20. Owner Arrested After Allegedly Spanking Two Employees

red state taking care of business. I'm tired of hearing folks say that the south isn't stupid. yes it is, I live in the south, and I know plenty of okie's that believe in god,family, and bible, just as long as it doesn't get in the way of their fun.

9. Zell wouldn't know what to do with a real woman like Mo!

[okieinpain]

22. see post# 20

[molly]

10. dupe

[Unstuck In Time]

11. Someone posted a thread a while back speculating ol' Zell...

... might be in line for U.S. secretary of State.

I don't know whether there's any truth to that, but I would love love LOVE to see it become reality.

Could you imagine? Ambassador nutbar, the diplomatic face of America? It would really just complete the whole "theater of the absurd" we're living in now. :D

[tsuki]

27. Well, he wouldn't have

anyone to talk to. Prez Bush has been busy snubbing everyone since the election. He ain't talkin to them dang fureners. Don't needem. Got Poland.

[BeyondGeography]

12. His guy won, and it made him sooooo happy

Sore winners. That's the hallmark of the other side.

[SF Bay Area Dem]

14. The moralists in the red states have broken it, now they can buy it.

"explaining to them that they're id iots and telling them that they're stupid." Zell Miller

OK Zell then I will do it for her. The people in the red states who voted for Bush are idiots. Do you know why? Because they have underwritten my draconian tax-breaks (and the rest in the blue states) on their blue collar backs. The moralists in the red states have broken it, now they can buy it.

[Yavin4]

15. Funny Thing Is, MoDo Is A Fence Sitter

She attacked the Clintons just as visciously as she's attacking Bush. Now that the Liberals have been vanquished, all of these "moderates" will find out just how ugly these red staters can be.

[Left coast liberal]

16. Maureen's got balls!

And Zell is a raving lunitic. I'm surprised she even responded to his venom.

You go girl! I would drop everything right now to be your second in the duel.

Keep up the good fight!

Cheers!

[SF Bay Area Dem]

17. The reds broke it, they bought it

"explaining to them that they're id iots and telling them that they're stupid." Zell Miller

OK Zell then I will do it for her. The people in the red states who voted for Bush are idiots. Do you know why? Because they have underwritten my draconian tax-breaks (and the rest in the blue states) on their blue collar backs. The moralists in the red states have broken it, now they can buy it.

[mccormack98]

18. If she chooses guns, will she try to be like Bill O'Lielly and try to ...

...shoot him "right between the head?"

[donkeyotay]

23. horns through her red hair??? Why that's so biblical

Harlot! Swords, MoDo! A pistol would be too quick.

[sendero]

24. I could care less..

... who wins that duel, as long as someone loses big.

[belle]

26. hahahaha

[punpirate]

30. Sounds as if...

... Miller has escaped his keepers again, and is off his Thorazine.... :P

[Julien Sorel]

31. Zell gets my vote on this one.

Dowd never says anything useful until it's too late; she's a gross liar; and her columns are primarily about making her look smart and all politicians look dumb. That the Times runs her garbage is an embarrassment to the paper.

They should give her another face lift as a going away present and force her to retire.

[Roxy66]

33. You scare me too!!
