Zell Miller Targets Maureen Dowd

Seeing what Zell Miller had to say about Maureen Dowd on Don's Imus's show this morning increased my already high level of respect for the senator a thousand-fold:

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 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?"

There must be a place in the Bush administration for Miller. I know that he wants to get out of the limelight and go back to Georgia. But maybe we could convince him to stay in public life for just a year or two more?
