How did he lose the accent, though?

Wow. What a mature and reasoned rebuttal of Mr. Miller's position.

Edit: Whatever that may be. I don't know, nor do I particularly care. This just strikes me as childish.

His positions are that the Democratic Party should return to its dixicratic roots, and that he should be legally entitled to hunt Chris Matthews for sport. Honestly, the man is such a cartoonish character that Buzzflash's scurrilous remark is in better taste than his own current career.

I know there may be sarcasm in this and such, but do you think Matthews really conducted the interview in a fair way? Matthews acted childish and continued to interrupt Miller and then acted very offended that Miller get angry at him.

Granted however Zell himself reacted in a worst manner. Stating that you wish you could cause legal harm or death to a person for cutting you off in a interview is not the most sane course of action.

Yes, Zell over reacted, no doubt. Saying he wanted to challenge him to a duel was not the way to go about it. He should have left it at his statement that he "wouldn't let Chris treat him like he treated that girl a couple weeks ago." That made Chris look like a fool in itself.

I actually think Senator Lieberman looks like a better Palpatine than Miller does, imo.

I've seen the clip of Chris Matthews giving Michelle Malkin a serve- she would not answer his question with a simple yes or no- she just kept fudging it. Seeing as how she's a worthless shill who wrote a book about how internment of American Japanese in WW2 was justified, good.

Chris Matthews is perfectly justified in being an asshole if the person he is interviewing is lying, distorting fact, or ducking the question, and I say good for him for pointing out Millers many hypocracies and self contradictions.

Not all questions can be answered with a simple yes or no answer, especially when the question is specifically slanted so that if you answer in a specific way it makes you look horrible. Sometimes you have to explain your position, and I think most here would agree, sometimes it's not always black and white.

Lieberman looks more like Senator Palpatine, Miller looks more like Emperor Palpatine.

If you watched Jon Stewart on Friday night, he had Chris Matthews on. Stewart basically said that all the politicians seem to get pissed off when you question their talking points, like when Stewart blasted someone for that idiotic "Kerry is the most liberal senator EV4R!!!" talking point. And that's certainly what happened when Chris Matthews dared to question the almighty Zell Miller's talking points.
