WEEHAUKEN HEIGHTS, NJ (AP) -- Noted TV commentator Chris Matthews was killed today in a duel with Sen. Zell Miller (D-GA). Miller had called Matthews "a coward, a cad and a cur" for his browbeating of noted authoress Michelle Malkin on Matthews' cable TV show last month.
A crowd of over 500 watched as Miller place a ball in Matthews' heart with his 1837 McAvoy dueling pistol.
The seconds awarded Miller both ears and the tail.
