I worked for the State of Georgia at the same time Cleland was Ga Sec. of State. He was hated by his department. I heard such terrible stories about what a miserable human being he was. People wanted to like him and tried to like him but it was impossible.

I have heard many versions of how he lost his limbs. My supervisor at the time, a big-shot department head, told me his own troops did it to him.

Personally, I don't care how it happened. The man gave service to the US. However, I have never given him my vote.

I agree that ANY veteran, especially a disabled vet, deserves our respect.

But my question was, "I wonder how the libs would respond if Bush had crashed his own jet on the runway on take-off and sustained injuries."

My brief glimpse of Max Cleland left me with the same opinion. I had him on a flight to D. C. (from Atl) in first class. He was obnoxious - drinking heavily - and making inappropriate comments to me and the other flight attendants. Before this incident - I had respected him for his service and accomplishments. After that - I lost respect for him as a person and considered him pathetic! And I agree - I never voted for him and never will....
