Zell Miller illuminates his feud with Chris Matthews
snip>
The famously disloyal Democrat reveals in his new book, A Deficit of Decency, that before telling Matthews he wished he could challenge him to a duel, he had long “detested” Matthews’s “know-it-all attitude and his bullying way of interviewing.” And earlier that evening, Matthews’s fellow MSNBC pundit Ron Reagan called Miller “kind of weird,” while Matthews himself had referred to Miller as an “old-time seggy,” meaning segregationist — a characterization Miller vehemently disputes.

Hmm...a duel still seems unreasonable. Fisticuffs maybe, but a duel? :crazy:

3. They need to bring back celebrity boxing.

I would pay to see that. Jon Stewart and Tucker Carlson would be another good match. I would pay to see these match ups.

4. I still can't believe I used to look up to this guy

I dunno, was I just blind or did he change, he seemed alright when he was gov. of Georgia and good things did happen while he was running the state, HOPE scholarship for one.

Just amazing

5. I feel so dirty saying this
but Matthews is right. Zig-Zag Zell IS an old-time Dixiecrat who stuck with the party and seethed as it slowly lost its racist identity. The result was a red-faced, bitter old man who rants and raves about challenging people to duels.
