Reply #12: Oh man I miss that guy. [View All]

He was absolutely hilarious to watch on C-SPAN. Last fall, Lautenberg had just finished talking about how Halliburton was ripping off the taxpayers and the floor was given to the Repugs. They gave the floor to ol' Zell and he ranted and raved for about 30 minutes about how Kerry had voted to cut the defense budget. This was during the run-up to the election and Zell was fresh off his post-RNC-speaking meltdown so he was really fired up. Oh man, it was hilarious watching this guy spouting off like a lunatic on the Senate floor. OK, it would have been REALLY funny if it wasn't the Senate floor and people hadn't actually voted this guy in as a member of the Senate and all. That was in the back of my mind the whole time so that kind of took some of the fun out of it. But aside from that, he was hilarious. Hell, if he was running in my state I might have even considered voting for him just for the "fun factor." That and the fact that he's no worse than Coleman. Ugh. Hey, at least Zell is fun to watch. Coleman is just...smarmy.
