Christ, what next?

Zell Miller, victim of senile dementia, has been hired by the Fox News Channel, and they're not the least bit embarrassed by it...but then they're not embarrassed by Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity either, which just goes to show that the shame thermometer is always set at zero over at Fox. Zell Miller, if you recall, is the "lifelike", no, "lifetime democrat" who at the end of a desultory and unremarkable career, suddenly decided to make a complete ass of himself at the republican convention. Most people cringed at the hot vitriol and cornpone rhetoric served up on stage by this man in his dotage, but not Fox - they liked what they saw and immediately offered him a contract, which shouldn't surprise anyone. Generally, our senior citizens retire with dignity, basking in the sunset of a worthy retirement, but Zell is determined to prove that his career has been a dungheap and he's the cock that's going to stand on it and crow. You'd think he'd offer himself as the poster boy for stem cell research at the Altzheimer's Association Telethon, but fortunately cooler heads prevailed and he will continue to do what he does best - act like an ass in public.
