Zell
It appears SGT Zell Miller, U.S. Marine Corps is about to unleash a corker.
The commentators are saying that he may be bringing a bigger ass-whoopin' than Hurricane Frances. ("Any of you homos call me that, and I'll kill ya!")
Put Fox or your network coverage of choice and batten down the hatches.
This should be fun.

George W. Bush is a God-fearing man with a good heart and a spine of tempered steel!
What a line!

There were several "quotables" in that outstanding speech.
The VP just said he's glad Zell Miller is "on our side".

Great speech.
[rant]
Just be glad you weren't watching NBC,... tom brokaw came on and interviewed mccain directly afterwards. Basically, after a bunch of anti-Zell slanted questions, mccain tried to counter all the anti kerry stuff and said he supported john kerry as CINC.
Then tim russert rambled on and made a statement calling Zell's speech something to do with Bubba's in the South and the " angry white man"??? WTF is that? I could f#%# break this GOD #%$# screen.
[/rant]
Going back in to go hear our VP.

Watch Fox and you don't have to listen to much of that Lib trash.
I like Zell, I liked his speech, and that is one Dem I would vote for.
They just hauled out another loony protestor, I must have missed the Republicans disrupting the Democratic Convention. Seriously, did anyone on the Right get arrested inside the DNC for disrupting the ceremonies? Is this just a Dem/Left thing?

I was just looked at very strangely for hollering at the spitballs bit. Good stuff, Zell. You could watch that speech on mute and get the gist just from his face. I have to say, I don't agree with some of the social conservative planks in the Republican platform, but I've been getting sick of the nicely-moderate people they've been putting up for speeches. It's about damn time for a firebreather for a speech.
Good job, Zell.

Go Cheany Go
Can I just add, VP Cheany saying, "We owe a debt of graditude to the men and women of Our Armed Forces!"
" John Kerry wants to have a more sensitive approach to the War on Terrorm as if Al-Queda will be impressed with our more softer side." (Large Boo's here!)
"George W. Bush will never seek a permission slip to defend the American People!"
I Luv this guy!

Was it just me, or did Zell look like an eagle to anyone else when he was fired up?
