"I wish we lived in the day where you could challenge a person to a duel."

So now your asking where I got the quote in the title...give up? This was said on Hardball by none other than Zell Miller. Miller got a little angry and didn't like Chris Matthews playing hardball with him. some of the other gems:

"And so I want to try to be as nice as I possibly can to you. I wish I was over there, where I could get a little closer up into your face."

MATTHEWS: OK. Do you believe now—do you believe, Senator, truthfully, that John Kerry wants to defend the country with spitballs? Do you believe that?
MILLER: That was a metaphor, wasn‘t it? Do you know what a metaphor is?

"I think we ought to cancel this interview."

Want more (and I know you do) or if you think I misrepresented what he said (which I did, what he says is funnier) here is the transcript.
