President Clinton Murdered!

Senator Zell Miller Slain in Duel!
Any gentlemen who frequents these pages is unlikely to be surprised that Senator Zell Miller and mediaist Chris Matthews felt honor compelled them to meet on the Bladensburg field yesterday morning for the purpose of satisfaction. Their respective Seconds' valiant attempts to settle matters in an equally honorable, but more peaceful way, were hampered by the very public manner that Sen. Miller challenged Mr. Matthews during an interview shortly after Sen. ZM's opening speech at the 2004 Whig Convention.

Mr. Matthews will reportedly be traveling abroad for the the next full year, and is unlikely to return to U.S. soil until the statute of limitations for dueling related deaths has elapsed.
