[Brundle_Fly]

that might smarten up the "real" news channels.

[tavalon]

92. No this doesn't make them a joke

they already were. This just makes it that much more blatent.

[The Zanti Regent]

2. Made for each other.

I swear, the more I look at 19th Century Fox, the more it looks as if John Waters did the casting!

[darkism]

3. HAHAHAHAHAHA How fitting

And I thought this was a joke until I saw the article. hahahaha.

[bluestateguy]

Will he be the substitute for Alan Colmes as the "liberal"?

[Pirate Smile]

34. Exactly - he is now the "Democratic" commentator to give "balance" to the

channel. Good Lord!

[TahitiNut]

60. Yup. Zell Miller to give Fox the "Democratic balance" it can be proud of.

:puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke:

[JMS825]

83. fair and balanced

Faux is a joke there idea of fair and balanced this past election was for every pro bush segment they aired a anti kerry segment then said well bot canidates were discussed equal time

[Verve]

4. Barf!!!!

:puke: :puke: :puke:

[Dulcinea]

79. Guess he won't be the new Homeland Security chief.

eom.

[Verve]

89. Thank God! That would have been WORSE!!!

He would be "dueling" with the whole country.

[Chicago Democrat]

5. Maybe OReilly and Zell will hang out and make phone calls to

chicks and stuff.

[Vox_Reason]

6. At least he's decided to be honest

And come out of the closet with his sheets and pointy hood.

Stop beatin' it and start readin' it, Zell.

[BlueWolff]

9. kkkZell

LMAO....ol'Zelly is a real turd!!!!

[Cha]

8. Just what they need to complete

their farce..the head crone, himself.

[0007]

10. Who watches FAUX anyway?

[Ruffhowse]

11. I guess it's payoff time for ol' Zell for the backstabbing he's done to

the Dems. Bet his "deal" is well into the 6 figures.

[imenja]

12. a marriage made in heaven

or is it hell?
You know they'll present him as the "Democratic" point of view. Alan Combs finally has company.

[Sara Beverley]

13. FOX sinking to a new low.

How can people support this network news after it carries the water for the Bush administration? This administration is destroying our nation in ways from which we cannot recover and people have their heads in a hole or up their butts and pretend that what Bush is doing is great! How can they?

[latteromden]

14. Don't you see, guys? It's the liberal media again!

Mmhmm, right.

[DemoTex]

15. ROFLMAO!

Stupid is, as stupid does. Go for it Zell! You are too stupid to see how they have used you.

[Old and In the Way]

16. Will he be the designated Democrat?

Will make a nice bookend with the designated liberal, Alan Colmes.

[CatholicEdHead]

23. Probably

Just like Juan Williams is often on Brit Hume with his National Public Radio source graphic. Even though Juan is Conservative, the NPR infers to most people he is the liberal who is making sense agreeing.

Expect the Roger Alies memo to be something like "Zell saw the light, why can't the Democrats abandon their radial leftist views and follow Zell".

[leftofcool]

17. Faux News Presents Dueling Banshees!

My apologies to the Banshees. Wonder how long it will be before Zell gets his own show? Bet Sharpton won't appear on it.

Left of Cool

[Piperay]

18. Perfect

fit, I guess being a traitor paid off well for him. x(

[joeybee12]

21. Damn! I thought you had posted something from The Onion!

But, then again, the truth is stranger than fiction!

[RebelOne]

22. Well, that does not come as a surprise.

[Synnical]

24. How is this legal?

A sitting Senator being paid to voice opinions in the media?

[wicket]

He is joining Fox in January, when he no longer will be in the Senate.

[Synnical]

39. Tells you how much attention I pay to Zig Zag Miller

Thanks.

Here's another job he's taking on according to the Moonie paper:

http://washingtontimes.com/national/20041212-115406-4122r.htm

Zell's new gig

Sen. Zell Miller, Georgia Democrat, will join the law firm of McKenna Long & Aldridge upon his retirement from the Senate in January.

Mr. Miller will serve in the firm's national government-affairs practice, which focuses on government and private enterprise in such areas as tax, international trade, homeland security and defense, health policy, agricultural, higher education and energy. He will be based in the firm's Washington and Atlanta offices.

[wicket]

69. I'd sooner forget about him too

:evilgrin: I'm sure ol' Zig Zag will make a big fool of himself.

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

Gee, I wonder if there was any quid pro quo there.

[Catchawave]

43. Which means....

J. McCain can't be far behind???!!!???? Well, if the Faux shoe fits, eh?

[Erika]

44. Does anyone know how to find the cable tv news ratings?

I haven't watched a Faux program in its entirety since the election.

I want to see how dear daffy Zell does.

Thanks.

[VegasWolf]

45. Who else would hire the clown. Murdoch owes him. n/t

47. Holy Shit, my head hurts.

I'm gonna need to up my medication dosage for a few years.

48. Fox's idea of balance : Zell Miller and Alan Colmes.

Meanwhile, in other news: in an effort to take a more "fair and balanced" view toward the American revolutionaries, King George III welcomes Benedict Arnold to his news team.

Pass me a Valium! I'm in Zell Hell!

[Protagoras]

See they have a democrat on to balance out Hannity and er...bah I can't even keep up with the irony and idiocy. nevermind.

[anitar1]

63. ell miller joins Fox News

i cannot watch any Fox news people. they make my blood pressure go through the ceiling, even though I know they are total creeps.

[katinmn]

55. Perfect! They've gone too far this time.

Next they'll sign Scott "Pretty Boy" Peterson to cover crime and the criminal justice system from prison.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

56. A faux Democrat for Faux news

[n2mark]

58. Just another reason

not to watch FOX.

[AlCzervik]

59. Thats frigging hilarious!!!! On air duels 27/7 booyah!!!!!

[Tinoire]

61. Where are all the Zell Miller defenders & apologists?

Not a peep from them.
Not one word in Zell's defense?

How amazing!

[malmapus]

67. I'll apologize....

I'm sorry he's from Georgia

[Tinoire]

75. Lol.... Naw, you should never have to apologize for that!

I'm looking for the overzealous Zell Miller apologists who were quite vocal a few short months ago. I spotted a few in the Lieberman threads but most are, I don't know, hiding under their rocks :shrug:

No need for the good people of Georgia to apologize Malmapus!

[St. Jarvitude]

88. He's at least got a decent first name.

If he were named, say...

"Zebulon Miller"

he would get a lot more respect from me.

But Zell is only decent, so he gets 0.0000000000000000001 units of respect.

[JPace]

62. It fits....

loud, snarling, mean spirited old men.
Yep....that's Fox!:spank:

[Rapcw]

64. LOL

[Liberal_Dog]

66. It Figures

nt

[BadGimp]

68. now we'll get some fair and balanced commentary

With a Dem like Zell we get...oh wait..never mind..

[GoddessOfGuinness]

70. So maybe what we need is hard-line Democrats

to run for office as rethugs.

[mitchum]

72. I so look forward to visiting his grave...

and so does my dog

[JusticeForAll]

73. Yay! Another voice from the Left!!!

Oh I love my fair and balanced Fox! (/sarcasm)

[Im_Your_Huckleberry]

74. birds of a feather.

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

76. LOL... Now ther's a fucking surprise.

[zulchzulu]

77. Will he be taking over Colmes' spot?

Being that Zell is a "liberal" in Faux Snooze's eyes, it would be a perfect replacement.

[sushi]

78. He belongs there!

:thumbsdown:

[HuffleClaw]

80. he's the 'democrat' who touted bush during the republican convention?

wow. i guess FOX really wants to hammer home their 'fair and balanced' message.

[GOPBasher]

81. A match made in heaven!

[ecstatic]

82. I hope they don't have him representing Democrats

Colmes (spelling?) presence is already a farce. I guess this is their way of keeping things fair and balanced. How could we have been so wrong about Zell? I voted for that jerk in 2000!

[JMS825]

84. fair and balanced my foot

Faux is a joke there idea of fair and balanced this past election was for every pro bush segment they aired a anti kerry segment then said well bot canidates were discussed equal time

[King Coal]

85. What's he gonna contribute? Spitballs!?

[tom_paine]

86. The payoff. The Party takes care of it's own in BushPutinism or Stalinism

or Nazism.

They are all kissin' cousins, the same chamelon in different suits, some violent, some kinder and gentler.
