Did Jack Abramoff buy Zell Miller?

[nickshepDEM]

I was thinking about this today... Before Zell got to Washington he was pretty damn good Democrat. His DNC keynote in 1992 was excellent. The speech was full of populism and hope. He campaigned vigorously for Clinton that year, which resulted in a Democratic presidential candidate winning Georgia for the first time in decades. He endorsed Clinton again in 1996 and Gore in 2000. Then out of the blue he goes to Washington and swings HARDDDDDD RIGHT. The guy literally went batshit crazy. He received a 95+ rating from the ACU and endorsed Bush in 2004.

Do you think Abramoff was the cause of Miller's mental lapse?

1. Zell Miller

was a blue dog dem at best. I think he either is early alzheimers or some other organic brain disease.

2. I'd get my money back if I were him.

But seriously, that might explain Zig Zag's erratic behavior.

3. That and a little hillbilly heroin. nt

4. Can you sat NSA wiretapping?

Who knows what kind of dirt they have been able to collect on any number of Americans. it could also be that Zell felt entitled to a national candidate slot and didn;t get it. It could also be that Zell is going insane.

5. I don't know what came over him.

It was either Republican Abramoff or he's losing it. I think Liberman is involved with him too.

6. Ya know, I'm willing to assume Abramoff did almost anything, but

not Zell! I live in North Ga. Zell is nuts all on his own. I'd bet even Jack stayed away from him!

7. I seriously think Zel Miller is mentally ill

We always joke about these people going off the deep end, but I sincerely think he is suffering from dementia, or altzheimers, or some kind of imbalance in the brain. I don't think even Michael Savage (who is not mentally ill, but merely an asshole) would actually challenge someone to a duel.

8. Wellll, you don't live in the north Ga. hill Country either.

There's some...er...interesting people living there.
