Local Loathing

Our very own zig-zagging former Governor, current Senator and all-around partisan turncoat has found a place on The BEAST‘s 50 Most Loathsome People of 2004.

19. Zell Miller

Crimes: Part Yosemite Sam and Part Foghorn Leghorn. Miller doesn’t make the list for his salivating, traitorous keynote speech at the Republican National Convention, or even the duel thing with Chris Matthews. He makes the list because he really does represent Southern Democrats. Miller was chief of staff for diehard racist Georgia Governor Lester Maddox, who used to own a restaurant where he’d hand out pick handles to his customers to beat any black people that might try to come in. The Democratic party really isn’t the party he once knew—thank God.

Smoking Gun: Won’t switch parties, just to be a pain in the ass.

Punishment: Death by torrential barrage of spitballs while watching his granddaughter make out with Big Pun.

Now, before you guffaw too loudly and proudly, you should know that you made the list too. So did I. We all did. We’re at #3.

    I think we should have been number one, myself.
