Zell!
The buzz in Georgia these days is over Senator and former Governor Zell Miller, who was a sensation at the last Republican National Convention where he spoke in favor of candidate George W. Bush, despite being a long-time member of the Democratic party. Now an Atlanta TV station reveals Miller took funds when he left the governorship that were not rightly his. The Macon Telegraph, a Knight-Ridder newspaper as is The Miami Herald, has an opinion about Miller's conduct, and is not pleased:
However, folks, don't write this off as just another run-of-the-mill TV tale. This is about the Paul Bunyan of Peach State politics - a Georgia giant who in at least three recent books ("Corps Values," "A National Party No More: The Conscience of a Conservative Democrat" and "A Deficit of Decency") set out to establish himself as an arbiter of moral behavior in public office.
I guess the unbelievable political stories aren't just from Florida.... posted by liz at 12:40 PM
