good question. i've looked myself. the "quote" comes from
http://www.theleftcoaster.com/mt/mt-comments.cgi?entry_id=803
when i re-read it at a "normal" time of day rather than at 4 or 5 AM when i was compiling my posting, it looks more like hyperbole than a direct quote.
i was under the impression that it came from the site given directly after the quote:
http://www.savannahnow.com/stories/062603/LOCMaddoxAP.shtml
as much of my material did. but i can't find it there.
i'll have to conclude that it may be hyperbole but i wouldn't put it past old zell to have said it off the record.
