BREAKING: Former Georgia Gov. Zell Miller has died.
Probably having orgasms over on DU.
He wasn’t exactly Scoop Jackson or Calhoun, but he also wasn’t exactly any of the yahoos on the D side of the Senate now. I don’t know the house Blue Dogs well enough to comment, but I suspect that he would compare favourably with all of them.
The last Democrat worthy of even a *shred* of respect.
I remember Zell Miller at CPAC. The line for his book signing was miles long.
RIP and prayers for the family.
I remember that too! Those were fun days.
I’m sure Chrissie Matthews is thrilled
Remember that exchange during 2004 GOP Convention when Zell made mincemeat of Tingles?
I recall listening to Laura Ingraham as she just crucified Tings over that
I assume that there are still others, but I’d be hard pressed to name one.
School teacher and then Governor of Georgia Zell Miller was a smart and humble man. One of the many things I liked about Gov. Miller was his interest in bettering the lives of children. A study showed a link between listening to classical music and enhanced brain development in infants. The Governor proposed a program to hand out classical music cassettes and CD’s to the parents of every infant born in Georgia.
Media elites in Georgia thought the $100,000. Price tag was too high for this program. Perhaps because the elites didn’t originate this idea they disliked it.
Sony Music Entertainment agreed to produce the music at no cost to taxpayers.
RIP Zell Miller.
RIP!
May he rest in God’s eternal peace.
AMEN.
I voted twice for Zell(Governor).
He is, in fact, the last democrat I voted for.
RIP

He seemed a truly decent man.
Thank you for sharing that. He was a good and decent man. The last of the decent Dems and better than most Republican Senators of today.
I can’t think of a decent and good Democrat in congress.
Sad to hear. In today’s congress, Zell would probably be in the top 20% of most conservative. An honorable man who served his country well.
I met him at CPAC years ago.
A wonderful Gentleman in every respect.
RIP Mr. Miller.
—Zell Miller
Amen.. Zell Miller was a good man... May he rest in peace.
