It's moments like this when I wish I was listening to the Don Imus show. Apparently Zell Miller went off on Maureen Dowd. Here's a description of the interaction from Salon.com:
From the New York Post: SEN. Zell Miller (D- Ga.) laced into New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd yesterday on the "Imus in the Morning" radio show, saying, "The more Maureen Loud [sic] gets on 'Meet the Press' and writes those columns, 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 idiots 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?"
Along with being plain rude (no matter what you think of MoDo), Miller's just not much of a political analyst if he really thinks "red states are getting redder" because of her column or anyone else's. Plus, Zell, Maureen's father was a cop -- probably not a lot of "high-brow hussies" can say that.
Zell is just batshit loopy. Sheesh.
