This time, a Bush will be beneficiary, not target

Democratic Sen. Zell Miller of Georgia has been tapped to give the keynote address for President Bush at the Republican National Convention.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Get ready for some more "Zell zingers" from the political convention in New York. But this time, a Bush will be the beneficiary, not the target.
Yes, the Zell Miller who Republicans tapped Thursday to deliver the keynote address for President Bush at their convention next month is the same one who lampooned Bush's father 12 years earlier at the Democratic convention in the same New York arena.
In 1992, Miller was Georgia's governor, famous for his Southern style and populist initiatives. Today, he's a maverick senator months away from retirement -- still a Democrat in name if not voting record.

Well if this is the best they can do with a keynote speaker, then their campaign IS in trouble. I'm sure they think that if they can prop ol' zig-zag Zell up there on the podium, it will look good for Bush that a Dem is supporting him, but little do they know, he just looks crazy. What a joke...get Zell out of our party...
