Tempered Steel, NDD.

That was a great speech, I almost cried.

That shows more about CNN's viewership than it does about real opinions.

You should have seen him going after that half wit Chris Matthews. When Fox went to commercial I switched to MSNBC to see what the libs were saying and Matthews was behaving rather boorishly in interviewing the Senator. He kept trying to put words in the Senator's mouth and twist what he said while talking over Miller's answers. Let me say this, tonight was the first time I ever saw a US Senator threaten a member of the media with bodily harm. He alos said he wished dueling was still legal in this country. Matthews looked like he was going to cry. He sat there and kept his mouth shut for the rest of the interview. Classic....

The interview he did with Chris Matthews. If they were in the same room...you would have seen "monkey stomping" on prime time TV.

Thanks, Guy. LMMFAO!

Matthews' behavior has been getting worse with Conservatives, while giving Libs a pass. He beat Michelle Malkin up pretty badly the night before with interruptions, talking-over, and browbeating. He didn't do that will Zell.

That interview was one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

Not often you get to see a man in his 70s scare a much younger man that badly.

Zell would do it, too.

No he didn't...but Zell did mention that interview, something to the tune of "I saw what you did to that poor girl the other night"... I'm glad I flipped over during commercial as well...Matthews was finally put in his place.
