compassionate conservatism at it's best

"I wish we lived in the day where you could challenge a person to a duel"

That is what Sen. Zell Miller (Democrat in name only) told Chris Matthews after his rather insane keynote speech at the Republican Convention last night; a speech in which he suggested such things as John Kerry's desire to arm the United States military with "spit balls" rather than real weaponry.

It's so swell that American politics has moved to a point where Vice Presidents have to tell highly ranking Senators to go fuck themselves and Senators have no better way to deal with their detractors than threatening duels...ain't it? Yeah, swell.
