Zell Miller credits the Marine Corps for turning his life around as a young man. He had dropped out of Emory University and landed in the drunk tank for a night in 1953 when he decided to sign up for a three-year enlistment in the Marines. Miller did his 12-week boot camp at Parris Island, SC, followed by time at Naval Training Station in Great Lakes, IL and the 2nd Marine Division at Camp Lejeune, NC. By the end of the three years, he had earned the rank of sergeant and was an Expert Rifleman. Miller went on to become a history professor, mayor of his hometown of Young Harris, Georgia, a state senator, lieutenant governor for 16 years, governor for eight years and now, a U.S. senator.

He's got every right to BE ANGRY. he's been betrayed by a party he served all his life. I'd be furious.

You don't give a speech like that with a smile. He could have slowed down a little but I have no complaint with his delivery. He was angry, he knows what's at risk.

McCain sat on NBC national broadcast and even as the cheers were still echoing for Zell Miller's great speech, McCain not only criticized Miller but also claimed that Kerry is 'qualified' to be Commander in Chief.

Oh, so the protester was why Cheney had the awkward very long pause with the neverending fairly weak "4 more years" chant?

"I love what he said, I think he could have done it without looking so angry."

I disagree totally. Zell is ALLOWED to get angry and fired up. He can do what Cheney can't, because he needs to be more "Vice Presidential." It was a powerful speech. I'm still shaking.

Apparently Brokaw got McCain to agree the Zell questionned his pal Kerry's patriotism or so some have said on this thread.

Good -- I don't think there was a question about Zell questioning Kerry's patriotism... I think that was his point.

Cheney seems to almost smirk at the thought Edwards is his "opponent", as well he should.
