Wasn't Zell a keynote speaker at one of the DNC conventions where Clinton was nominated?
They sure didn't think he was a racist then.
Zell worked for Maddox in some capacity. Others will know more.
Well...he IS in New York tonight...
Heavenly Father, we thank you for the protection you have given to our patriotic Americans gathered in New York City this week, we thank you for the many blessings of living in this Great Nation. We lift our hands and praise You, the Almighty God, the God of All Creation, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of Israel, the God who led Moses to the Promised Land. Father, may Your hand be upon Madison Square Garden this evening and upon our President, George W. Bush, the most powerful man in this beautiful and miraculous world you have created, a man among men, a man who does not shirk responsibility nor shy from danger, yet a man who is meek in Your Presence, a man who loves Your Son Jesus, who seeks Your face. Today we pray Your will may be his will, that his words will grace the needs of the people and uphold the highest ideals of this Nation, that he will speak his heart and not just politics, that righteousness will flow through him from You to the Spirit of the people. That Your Holy Spirit will move through the room and through the Nation as a mighty rushing wind, cleansing, renewing and uplifting. We pray that your warrior angels will be posted as sentries, as a circle of protection to deflect harm and any attempted works of Lucifer. Our trust is in You, O Mighty Lord of All, Our God, the One God, we rest in you in perfect safety, strength and calm. God, bless America. In Jesus's name, we the People pray. AMEN.
Amen.
That was beautiful!
Whoa, Kerry calls Bush "Unfit".
Kerry head go POP
Was that Mary Lou Retton who tripped on a heel coming in? Would have been horrible if it resulted in snagging her dress like what happened to Miss Universe.

How stupid can Chris possibly be?
Good on him.
Amen.
First we have Zell coming to Malkin's defense. Now Laura to Zell's defense.
Keeps getting better and better.
Why was someone signing the prayer?
Don't they have their heads bowed?
The bishop just said the 'J' (Jesus) word! The Dems are going to be scurrying now!!
Yep, good man. I go to his church in Southfield. Strong Bush supporter. Also backed nomination of Clarence Thomas back in 1990.
touche! : )
Too bad nobody saw any of it, lol.
LOL!
It's beautiful and agree with above. I think the Republicans have been deliberately holding back till the opportune moment to strike.
And, Amen. :-)
