The Zell Miller swap: "There's but one man I trust to keep my family safe"
A truly HEARTWARMING tale, in which Dick Cheney pulls himself out of the line of media fire and allows the SAME FRIGGING MESSAGE that got him in trouble in the first place to be delivered by Zig Zag Zell.

Campaigning with a disaffected Democrat, Sen. Zell Miller (news, bio, voting record) (Ga.), at his side, Bush took a bus tour from West Virginia to southern Ohio, raising doubts at every stop about Kerry's ability to protect Americans.

"If he had his way, Saddam Hussein would still be in power and would still be a threat to the security and to the world," Bush said. Kerry, who voted to authorize force in Iraq but now calls it the "wrong war" and has had difficulty clarifying his view, has "more different positions than all his colleagues in the Senate combined," Bush added.

Bush's message was seconded by Miller, the keynote speaker at the Republican National Convention. Miller told the crowd in Huntington, W.Va., that the country is in an "hour of danger" and said: "There's but one man I trust to keep my family safe." In an apparent allusion to Kerry, Miller said Bush is "never wavering, never wobbling, never weak in the knees."

The new challenge to Kerry on national security came even as Vice President Cheney softened his warning that the nation would be more vulnerable to a terrorist attack if Kerry became president. Cheney, saying he wished to "clean up" the impression he left on Tuesday, did not retract the statement but said its meaning was misunderstood.

1. He'd better make his point quick

before Alzhiemers takes Zipperhead ZELL to another plato.

EDIT: the true sign of an idiot; thinking an alzhiemers patient will help his failing campaign.
