BOP News points out that apparently Zell Miller has a problem with Maureen Dowd's "religion," and it has something to do with her having "horns" and living in "New York City." While I read that Dowd is Irish Catholic, it seems that Zell thinks she's a Jesus-killer (I mean she does work for the liberal media, and is uppity, so, you know, she has to be a Jew, by Zell's logic). To wit:
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."Now in all fairness to Zell, he might not have been attacking Jews. Sure, he used all the Jew-baiting code words: New York, horns, hussy. But as red state Baptists also think Catholics are Satan worshippers (remember Bob Jones University's great "the Pope is a Satanic counterfeit" quote?), it is possibly Zell was ONLY trying to imply that Irish Catholics are Satan worshippers. Just to clear things up.
I think Bush will give Zell a cabinet appointment in order to stick it to the Dems, while telling the public at large that he's "welcoming" another Dem into the cabinet. Though I have a funny felling that "horn-y" Zell may have just ended his cabinet chances as I write.
