[lbo-talk] high brow hussy

[snit snat]

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?"
