Zell Miller for Sec of State (No, not kidding, I'm dead serious!)

[russian33]

<snip>

Let's take the top three positions.

State: I have just returned from a couple of weeks in Europe, and was very surprised to hear diplomats complaining bitterly that they felt abandoned by Powell. "Where is he?" they lamented, "we supported him and he left us to fend entirely for ourselves."

The proper care of allies is right up near the top of a secretary of State's mission, and the allies don't give Colin Powell a passing grade. For that alone, he needs to go. There are other reasons, too, above all his weasely performance on Iran (every strong presidential statement was instantly followed by leaks from State undercutting the president's words; the secretary's deputy — and best friend — Richard Armitage called Iran "a democracy," which may be the great mal mot of this administration).

Finally, there's Powell supine acceptance of Foggy Bottom's conventional wisdom on every subject, forgetting that the foreign service isn't supposed to make our foreign policy; it's supposed to carry out the president's policies.

Who should replace him? Zell Miller.

1. Why are you posting from that site?

National Review is Central Command of the NeoCon world. Why are you reading this and why would you post this? What next - posts from the Bush White House? Jeeeez!!!

2. If that's true, then who better to hear it from?

6. Um, because it's valuable to get insight...

from the mindset that is ruining the country?

This is just further evidence that moderates are being booted out of the Puke party in favor of whacked-out extremists.

7. Cause I find it amusing

Plus I'd like to know what the other side says. No one is forcing you to read it.

10. From an Old Fart-words of wisdom

Personally, I would rather see the Old Farts slash themselves at sunrise than send thousands of our kids overseas to die needlessly on bloody battlefields.

I think drawing the swords is a noble tradition that needs to be re-kindled.

Now, I'm pretty sure Zell could take Saddam in a duel to the death. I don't know who we have that could take down Osama---Maybe Rumsfeld?

9. Sure, why not?

This is the Coconut Republic of the United States now. Let's put a raving lunatic out there as our face to the international community.

Let's appoint Bozo the Clown as Attorney General while we're at it.

11. Zell Miller is a fool period.

And anyone who takes him remotely serious speaks volumes about where they stand culturally.

12. I officially challenge Zell Miller to a duel.

We can even leave the country. There's got to be somewhere on the planet where it's legal. I'll take pistols, swords, or simple bare knuckles. Come on, Zell. Are you a PUSSY or are you going to fight me? Huh?

Then, when I'm done, I'll put his teeth up on eBay.
