Alleged Democratic Senator Zell Miller from Georgia gave the keynote speech at the Republican National Cabal last night, hammering John Kerry on his service in Vietnam and after. Miller is retiring from trhe Senate, but has been stumping against his own party since well before the primary season was underway. He's even written a book about the failings of the Democratic party, and worked very hard to get himself on TV to boost his book sales.
This is what Miller had to say about John Kerry in March, 2001, introducing him at a political event:
"My job tonight is an easy one: to present to you one of this nation's authentic heroes, one of this party's best-known and greatest leaders – and a good friend. …In his 16 years in the Senate, John Kerry has fought against government waste and worked hard to bring some accountability to Washington. Early in his Senate career in 1986, John signed on to the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Deficit Reduction Bill, and he fought for balanced budgets before it was considered politically correct for Democrats to do so. John has worked to strengthen our military, reform public education, boost the economy and protect the environment."
The obvious question, of course, is what in John Kerry has changed so much in just three years that Miller would get up on a national stage and basically question the same man's patriotism and service to his country?
