Blowhard News for Sunday afternoon edition.


Zell Miller campaigns for Chambliss, warns of ‘a far-left liberal agenda’ in Congress.
In 2004, then-Democratic Sen. Zell Miller (GA) threw his support behind President Bush with
an over-the-top speech attacking Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) at the Republican National Convention. Earlier this week, Miller continued his assault on liberalism while campaigning for Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA). “Saxby could well be the last man standing between a far-left liberal agenda sailing through the United States Senate,” said Miller. The National Republican Senatorial Committee released a web-only ad yesterday featuring Miller’s comments.

The last 20 minutes or so are a case study of the gossip-fest that cable and "journalism" in general have become. The segment features Michelle Bernard and some kook from N.H. discussing the possibility that Hillary Clinton may be offered State in the Obama administration. Probably one of the most bizarre spectacles I have seen in a long time, even considering the two year idiocy we've just been through.

For some people
the primary has never ended.
MATTHEWS: [unintelligible] You guys are so suspicious. Look, I think that since she lost the fight for the nomination, Michelle and Jennifer, she has been not just a good soldier, she has sang the tune of this guy. She's been illustrious, she's been admirable. She -- her spirit seems to be with him. Bill's a little more troubled, obviously, by what happened. But she's been totally with him, and that's why he's obviously thrown her name out. Why would he even be thinking of her if he thought she might be insubordinate?

BERNARD: No, they're not going to keep her in line if she's secretary of state. If she's secretary of state --
DONAHUE: Well, that's why she's not gonna get it.
BERNARD: -- she will run a parallel government. It will be a huge problem.
DONAHUE: I don't believe she'll get it
