Oh my goodness, if only people could have seen Zell Miller make that speech live on the senate floor yesterday. It was even more impressive to see him deliver.

I love love love Brit Hume, but I cudda spanked him last night for showing Byrd's idiotic theatrics, instead of Senator Miller's snake speech.
"Fie, I say, Fie, Fie" on old fart Byrd!!"

Thanks for the ping, Wphile!

I read Zell's story. I never thouthg of that before.

I like the way Zell puts things in perspective.

"In fact, I bet I may be the only senator in this body who can look at the last three inches of a snake's tail and tell you whether it's poisonous or not. I can also tell the sex of a snake, but that's another story.

Cool!

If he's talking about more than North American snakes, I'm really impressed. We're rather blessed, in that we have only four basic types of venomous snakes: rattlers, corals, copperheads, and water moccasins (cottonmouths).

Sexing snakes is pretty easy, but not for the squeamish.

Here's what Zell saw:

"I think that has already happened, he is just in denial."

LOL! You certainly have a lot of faith in him, but you may be right. He always did like hanging out with conservatives better than with liberals, but then of course, he loves a good fight. If he ever admitted we were right, who would he fight with? The morons at the DU? I don't think so. Besides, they tolerate no dissent. Much like their heroes in Washington, if they don't like what they hear, they either change the subject, shout louder or ignore it. In any case, they only hear what they want to hear. Hmmm...wonder if I should send Fred an email and see what he thinks of the fact that there is a democrat with a brain.

Mr. Miller......come home to the light side

I'm missing all the good stuff by going to bed so early! I love Southern men and their parables. If only Zell would make the jump.

The snakes could be the RATS in the Senate just as well as Saddam. In fact, that's how I thought the story was going to end up. Zell Miller is in the wrong party. Period.

Where is the proof that that snake was going to kill you Zell? Huh? Huh? Huh???? < /end typical PETA activist (liberal) >
