BROW-BEATER
NY POST

November 10, 2004 -- 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 col umns, 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 id iots 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?"

I wonder what he means about Americans "deciding what their reality is". Is he saying that, despite the yeoman efforts of elite media to put things in proper perspective for the unwashed masses, that those masses incredibly fail to accept the journalistic equivalent of the Holy Grail,
and instead draw their own conclusions??

The gall!
The utter gall!<g>
