Paging Zell Miller
Zell Miller heralds from rural Georgia. It’s a big part of his political identity. His 1992 Democratic Convention keynote speech speaks to his Appalachian upbringing. His book A National Party No More is full of lombasts against “liberal elitists” who look down their nose at the rural South. He has attacked various items of popular culture: the Snuffy Sniff comic strip and the reality tv version of “The Beverly HillBillies”.
Comments made by Neal Horsley recently:
AC: “You had sex with animals?”
NH: “Absolutely. I was a fool. When you grow up on a farm in Georgia, your first girlfriend is a mule.”
AC: “I’m not so sure that that is so.”
NH: “You didn’t grow up on a farm in Georgia, did you?”
AC: “Are you suggesting that everybody who grows up on a farm in Georgia has a mule as a girlfriend?”
NH: It has historically been the case. You people are so far removed from the reality… Welcome to domestic life on the farm…”
Would someone please get me a response from Mr. Miller?
