Mods, please delete or move is this is in the wrong thread. I was thinking LBN, but wasn't sure were to put this.

The text of a letter former President Carter sent to Zell Miller over the weekend ...

You seem to have forgotten that loyal Democrats elected you as mayor and as state senator. Loyal Democrats, including members of my family and me, elected you as lieutenant governor and as governor. It was a loyal Democrat, Lester Maddox, who assigned you to high positions in the state government when you were out of office. It was a loyal Democrat, Roy Barnes, who appointed you as U.S. Senator when you were out of office. By your historically unprecedented disloyalty, you have betrayed our trust.

Great Georgia Democrats who served in the past, including Walter George, Richard Russell, Herman Talmadge, and Sam Nunn disagreed strongly with the policies of Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, and me, but they remained loyal to the party in which they gained their public office. Other Democrats, because of philosophical differences or the race issue, like Bo Callaway and Strom Thurmond, at least had the decency to become Republicans.

Everyone knows that you were chosen to speak at the Republican Convention because of your being a “Democrat,” and it’s quite possible that your rabid and mean-spirited speech damaged our party and paid the Republicans some transient dividends.

1. This will go over Zell's head

He is now so blinded by the Republican smoke and mirrors he will not even have a clue Pres. Carter was even talking about him.

Actually, what I hope in the end is a private censuring by the Democratic Party (Zell, go pound sand, or go to hell).

The Georgia Democratic party should tell him get the hell out and come next election, change his affiliation to Republican because he sure is not going to represent the Democratic party.
