Pistols or swords?
2004-11-11
SEN. Zell Miller (D- Ga.) laced into New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd yesterday on the "Imus in the Morning" radio show, saying, "The more Maureen Loud [sic] gets on 'Meet the Press' and writes those columns, the redder these states get. I mean, they don't want some high brow hussy from New York City explaining to them that they're idiots and telling them that they're stupid." Miller also suggested "that red-headed woman at the New York Times" should not mock anyone's religion: "You can see horns just sprouting up through that Technicolor hair." Dowd responds: "I'm not a highbrow hussy from New York. I'm a highbrow hussy from Washington. Senator, pistols or swords?"
Oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please ...

#8  Good point on the lady thing but I still don't see him dueling with a hussy either.

Barbara Skolaut, thanks for the correction but there really is no "t" in my last name. Everyone wants to put one in there because of that bastard Sherwood Schwartz and his Gilligans Island and Brady Bunch brainwashing but really, there isn't one just like Schwarzenegger and Schwarzkopf it's the german word for Black.

Now I'll get down off my high horse. Carry on.

#7  He's too much of a Southern Gentlemen to duel with a lady

Who sez she's a lady?

#5  "Hussy" is so old school. "Pompous, insulting bi*ch" works in the 21st century just fine.

#4  If he will not, I will. Rapiers, 6 foot silk cord tied to left hand, body thrusts only, first blood or last man standing my lady?

#3  He's too much of a Southern Gentlemen to duel with a lady but I'd bet that old marine would take her down in seconds with either weapon.
