Senator Zell Miller: "We have got right now what I call the H.W.A., the hand wringers of America. They are pushing, pulling, shoving and leaping over one another, pointing their finger at America the terrible and lining up to make apologies to these poor, pitiful Iraqi prisoners. Of course I don't condone the things that went on there (Abu Ghraib prison) but I am not going to put on my sackcloth and join in this national Act of Contrition over it. You and I can remember when we were troops in the Marine Corp. and back then there was always that famous 10% who messed up or didn't get the word. I guess you know, and I know I, were often part of that 10%. Well here we've got 1/1000 of one percent who messed up big time and there ought to be swift and sure punishment and not at one of these justice of the peace type courts. Take it as high as it goes, let it all hang out, bottom to top, wash our linen in front of the world just like the hand wringers want and when you get down to it and all that is said and done, I think I-Man, it's going to show that it was really more silly and stupid and consensual sex than it was sadistic and sinister."

SHOW QUOTE OF THE DAY

Senator Zell Miller: "The two times I think I have been most humiliated in my life was standing in a big room, naked as a jaybird with about fifty others and they were checking us out, now that was humiliating. It was humiliating showering with sixty others in a public shower. It didn't kill us did it? No one ever died from humiliation." Imus: "Whenever I was naked I always felt sorry for the other guys."
