Daily Show and Zell Miller

I watched Zell Miller push his book in his interview with Jon Stewart. What a maroon. Sorry. I am sure he has made sense in the past, but tonight, he proves he has lost his mind. According to Miller, Democrats are completely run by special interests. Possibly. Jon asked about the Republicans. Miller said, sure there are interests in the Republican party, but they don't hold much power. Excuse me? Does the name Haliburton mean anything to him? Miller went on to say that in the past and maybe in the future, special interests held more sway in the Republican party, but not now. My wife noted that this seemed curious. Those special interests, she said, must not know there is an election next year. They only participate in the Republican party during the off years. Yeah, right!

And the straw that broke the camels back for our principled Southerner? Why the Homeland Security vote, where unions held up the vote on our national security to get things their way. Not just to get some union benefits or some protection, but to get whatever they wanted at the expense of our national security. Not one word from Sen. Miller about how Bush (whom he endorsed already for 2004) delayed the HS vote because he didn't want a new department. Delayed it, of course, until he saw that he could use it against the Democrats who wanted it soon after 9-11. And then, also absent from the good Senator's diatribe, was anything about how Republicans questioned the patriotism of any Democrat who objected. Or compared Max Cleland to Saddam Hussein. Give me a break!
