Did we talk about Zen Miller speaking at GOP convention?

[LittleApple81]

I saw this at MSNBC... and I don't know if it had already been mentioned in DU...
Is it true that his book is "a national best seller?" Among whom???

WASHINGTON - Georgia Sen. Zell Miller, the highest profile Democrat to endorse President Bush for re-election, will speak at the Republican National Convention later this summer, a congressional aide said Friday.


According to the aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity, Miller will give his address on Wednesday night of the convention in New York. The Bush-Cheney campaign was expected to make an official announcement later in the day. The convention will be held Aug. 30-Sept. 2.

The speech by Miller, a former two-term governor, comes 12 years after he delivered the keynote address for Bill Clinton at the 1992 Democratic National Convention, also held in New York.

Miller, who is retiring in January, has voted with Republicans more often than his own party and has been a key sponsor of many of Bush’s top legislative priorities, including the Republican’s tax cuts and education plan.

snip...

In 2001, Miller had told a Georgia Democratic Party gathering that Kerry, the four-term Massachusetts senator and decorated Vietnam War veterans, was “an authentic” American hero who had worked to strengthen the military. Miller’s recent book, “A National Party No More: The Conscience of a Conservative Democrat,” is now a national best-seller. In it, he assails members of his own party, including Clinton.

5. Yeah...someone had it in LBN yesterday.

But I don't mind saying the pukes should keep the slimy POS again.
No self-respecting Democrat should want him in the party.
Georgia shoulda had a recall he first turned.

6. I emailed the DNC asking about

this...still waiting for a reply.

7. "the highest profile Democrat"?

So there are others?

8. Is it possible to excommunicate someone from a party?

If he's a conservative, that's one thing, and if he supported all the local Dem candidates but not the Presidential one, that's fine by me too. But when you speak at the convention of the OTHER PARTY, what business do you have calling yourself a Democrat?

If we could kick him out now, his speech at the convention would be meaningless.

9. His book was never a best seller...

I guess Scaife didn't bother with bulk orders.
Fuck Zell and the mule he rode in on
