 20040907 Crazy 'ole Zell Miller
I am late in posting this, but in case you missed it the first time: Zell Miller's RNC speech, and then the follow-up interview where he challeneges Chris Matthews to a duel.

Nick said... SPITBALLS!! 10:53 AM Zach said... Via Slate, referred by nancynall.com: I already knew (Zell Miller) was nuts when he set forth his basic premise. He said that this election is all about terrorism, and that he was planning to vote for Bush because Bush was "the only man" he could trust to "protect my children." He sold out his party and his principles for that? And where are his children? Georgia? If so, I've got a newsflash: They're safe! As self-important as these Red State yahoos like to think they are, Al Qaida doesn't care about blowing up the Baptist church or Wal-Mart in Shitkicker Falls! Frankly, it's not worth the trip! And moreover, how come I can go to work 5 blocks from the New York Stock Exchange every day and not be scared of these fuckers, and "this old marine" can't drive his grandkids to Sunday School in Boola-Boola, Georgia without seeing bomb-toting mullahs in the shrubbery? 12:37 PM Chris said... Excellent chide by Slate. Furthermore, I highly doubt Sen. Miller has any children or grandchildren in Iraq at the moment. And would those who actually do, agree with Miller that Bush is the "only man" they can trust to "protect [their] children"? I'm glad I don't have to answer that question. 1:35 AM Post a Comment |

 Hi, I'm Zach. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and graduated from Wake Forest. After college, I moved to Manhattan to get serious about a company I ran with friends. We sold it to Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp in 2006. I just wrapped up with a project I co-founded called Vimeo and left CV to focus on being a twenty-five year old. I have another blog called Copy and Taste, where I post about learning to cook. I live in Brooklyn now.
