To hell with impeachment. It is a political act, as BC’s impeachment proved. The rascal was guilty, having accepted punishment for his acts later. But he put this nation through a costly political circus that accomplished NOTHING, as far as justice was concerned. He even had the gall to ask for donations to his legal fund....which was only to enrich his friends.

I would welcome the return of the formal duel. Maybe some modernization is needed...put the two in a maze and let them have at it with 45’s.

I have long believed that the public park in Weehauken where Burr shot Hamilton should be turned into the National Dueling Grounds, where duels would be covered by ESPN as a sports event.

When Chris Matthews insulted Michele Malkin on his show, Zell Miller upbraided him a day later and told him that in the old days, as a southern gentleman, he would have been forced to challenge Matthews to a duel to protect Michele's honor. This is the kind of thing that would work well at Weehauken.

Matthews' last words before Zell fired would have been, "You're kidding, Zell. Right?"
