Bush backers like converted Democrat's zeal

[Rose Siding]

...On a frenzied two-day, five-state campaign swing, Bush won applause each time he mentioned Miller to approving crowds of Republican supporters, who had apparently feasted on the Democrat's red-meat rhetoric.


"You heard Zell Miller the other night. He represents a lot of folks who understand that, with four more years, Dick Cheney (news - web sites) and I will make this country safer, stronger and better," he said here, drawing calls of "Go Zell!"
...
But Bush campaign manager Ken Mehlman said the president endorsed everything Miller said in his speech and evidently enjoyed the senator's apparent popularity among Republicans far from his home state of Georgia.


"I talked to Zell this morning and I said to him 'you could run for mayor of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, or Milwaukee, Wisconsin,'" Mehlman told reporters. "He said he's not interested."


The accusation that Democrats are undermining the war on terrorism by criticizing Bush pleased Jacobson, who charged that Kerry is "working for the enemy" or is "being manipulated by the enemy."

1. Go zell?

More like "go to hell!"

He will be a national joke for the rest of his days now. Nobody will consider him a moderate, just a loonie.

2. Zeal?

What's that?

3. Charismatic drive and energy.

As in "overzealous" or zealot"

Which, to be fair, is precisely what the ironically named Zell Miller has. He simply chooses to use it for evil.

8. Whoops... forgot this:

4. If he switched he wouldn't be "special" anymore

He'd be just another one like them.

5. Zell Miller is mentally unbalanced

and the GOP picked him for "keynote speaker". I think we will find that Zell has been suffering from illness which explai8n his incredibly erratic behavior-there is no excuse for the GOP's erratic behavior-it is what they do best

6. Mayor of Cedar Rapids?

Is that a comment on Zell's political viability?

7. Notice that they don't say that he is still part of the campaign

Of course chimp agrees with zell, they wrote the speech for him.
