n one of the most classic TV scenes Ive seen in a while, the democrats newest shill Chris Mathews got his comeuppance from a veteran Democrat from the South. The blue blood northeastern liberal Mathews was given a stark lesson in Southern discipline by a very angry Zell Miller.In typical Mathews style he attempted to browbeat and interrupt Zell Miller throughout the interview. Mathews felt very comfortable attacking and interrupting Miller as he was not interviewing Zell Miller face-to-face, but by remote.
Miller had had it after about two minutes and began to hammer away at Mathews telling him, I knew you was gonna be coming with that stuff; this is a bunch of baloney. Mathews refused to back down at that point, continuing with his liberal talking points.
Zell Miller would have none of it. I wish I was over there so I could get up in your face, Miller screamed at Mathews. He even had to explain to Mathews what a metaphor was. He then hit Mathews where it hurt. Youve got to quit taking these democrats talking points and use what they send to you.
Ouch! If that were to happen Mathews entire show would be history.

It was a great night for southern men,,the most maligned men on the planet, but the ones you want in a foxhole with you or at the window with the shotgun when the bad guys are about.
The best smackdown of a TV host ever. Matthews was completely demoralized and taken aback. You could hear the rest of the panel laughing their ass off at Matthews as he took the equivalent of a verbal gang bang..
Don't the shrinks call that "projection"?? Heh heh heh
Kleins spin was obvious'y trying to discredit the incredible damage Zell inflicted on Kerry. Frank Luntz's focus group showed Zell's speach was devastating.
I watched the Miller/Matthews kerfuffle this morning on MSNBC/Imus.
What great television.
My favorite bit - the shot of the bystanders in Hearld Square watching the monitor and cheering Zell on as he ripped the girly-man a new one.
(Speaking of course as a mountainy Georgian myself. < g >)

Hairball bitch slap is classic!
Right ............. 11 of 17 of those "independents" were leaning to Bush after last night. Devastating to the scum, lying left!!!!!!!!!!!
That's hilarious!!! He needs to go back to his mama's titzy!!!
For those of us who don't get PMSNBC on their cable, please enlighten us as to how IMUS felt about the speech.
I get this feeling he's about ready to throw Kerry off and go with Dubya.
Please advise
I maybe watch 2-3 hours of television a MONTH. I looked in on the Olympics, what with that and the Pub convention, and my 'rents possibly being in the path of Frances, I've watched more television in late August and Sept. than in the past two years.
Imus was respectful to Zell. There were two hilarious moments during the Imus spot. At one point Zell seemed to have trouble talking, sort of going slow and kind of clearing his throat. Imus looked all perturbed and asked him was he okay. Zell said he was just eating his muffin. It was so funny, Imus trying to grill Zell and ole Zell having his morning bran muffin. Then at the end Zell started saying he supported Bush and what did people make of Kerry in those tight spandexes, asked what kind of man wore those and went windsurfing and rode that silly little bike he rode. He was genuine and it was too funny for words. Imus was laughing, trying not to, it was priceless.
