THE MILLER-MATTHEWS TRANSCRIPT [09/02 12:29 AM]
Ultra-cool Kerry Spot reader Joe TIVOed Hardball, and sends in a transcript:
Matthews: Do you believe truthfully that John Kerry wants to defeat the world with spitballs? Zell: That was a metaphor. You know what a metaphor is?
Matthews: Well, what do you mean by that metaphor?
Zell: He wanted to cancel these weapons programs. Cancel, means to do away with. I think we ought to cancel this interview.
Matthews: Well, that would be my loss Senator. Well, let me ask you about this because I think you have a view on reporters of the world. You said, It was often the soldier, not the reporter, who has given the freedom of the press. What was your point?
Zell: Well, it certainly got a rise out of you.
Matthews: Well, its a shot.
Zell: Youre a reporter. You didnt have anything to do with the freedom of the press.
Matthews: Why did you single out reporters Because you could get an applause line at a conservative convention.
J.C. Watts: Now come on, Chris.
Zell: Youre hopeless. I wish I was over there. In fact I wish we lived in the
Matthews: If a Republican Senator broke ranks and spoke for the democrats would you respect him?
Zell: Yes, Ive seen that happen from time to time.
Matthews: Jim Jeffords switched parties after getting elected
Zell: Wait a minute, wait a minute If youre going to ask a question..
Matthews: Its a tough question. It takes a few words.
Zell: Get out of my face! If youre going to ask me a question, then step back, and let me answer! I wish we lived in a day where you can challenge a person to a duel. Now that would be pretty good. (Norah Odonell loud laughter)
Dont pull that stuff on me like you did that young lady when you had her brow beaten to death. Im not her! Im not her! You get in my face Im going to get back in your face. [Jim's note: I presume this is a reference to Michelle Malkin?]
Matthews: Senator can I speak softly to you?
Zell: No, no. You wont give me a chance to answer. You ask these questions and then you just talk over while Im trying to answer just like you did that woman the other day. Why dont why I even came on this program.
Matthews: Well, Im glad you did. Well let me ask you this
Zell: No, Are you going to shut up after you ask me! Are going to give me a chance to answer it.
Matthews: Yes, sir. Im going to give you a chance to answer.
Thanks.
At last someone talked back to Chris Matthews. I'm sitting here with MSNBC on mute, hoping they will rerun the segment again.
See, it just goes to show you there are still a few good Democrats in the world!

This is all I can find thus far.

The video segment is at this link:

I tried to capture the video, but my capture program can't pick it up. I am able to capture just the audio with another cap program.
Zell told Chris off about asking questions and then talking over Zell's attempts to answer. Chris is rude in doing that, but that is the way he runs his program.
it's ON THEIR WEBSITE
