So true.
For those non Southern pre- 1970s people out there. What you have just witnessed was a part of the dying Old South's example of Southern manhood reiled up.
Zell reminds me of my Great-grandfather. A tough old bird, working hard, hard playing, but easy to laugh Redneck. And to add to that, he's a Marine. No better friend, no worse enemy.
One doesn't not question an old Southern like that, Missy Chris Matthews. And certainly not in such a flippant manner. You "invited" him, a guest into your "home" and proceed to abuse him, without cause...and with full malice.
You repeatedly "stepped" on his toes. You done that and you don't know how lucky you are get away with it unscathed. Southerns are not known to suffer insults gladly, certainly not at the hands of an upstart, sissified Yankee.
Its called HONOUR , something you don't have.

Wonderful comments explaining what a southern gentleman is.
Chris Matthews has always had a contempt for Americans born below the Mason-Dixon line. It really is his worst Achilles heel (among others). He has convinced himself that he is smarter than southerners just because he was born in Philadelphia.
Based on last week's treatment of Michelle Malkin, he does not have any respect for Americans with nonEuropean heritage, either.
I was so proud of Zell!
