You are right.
I loved that remark. It was Zell's reference to Clinton. Remember Zell gave the keynote in '92 at the Dem convention, and thought Clinton was going to be a real centrist Democrat. Instead, Clinton has been largely responsible for killing the party.
And you are welcome back anytime you want for as long as you want....
Good Morning,
Any transcript of Zell's speech.
You are very welcome Cuttnhorse.
She didn't have the flip-flops, just joined in the fun. Went out for pizza afterwards...with boys. I expect she'll sleep all weekend to catch up.
Oh, yeah. I heard on the radio on the way back from Bally's this morning the
'RATS are calling him a traitor and a turncoat.Well, that's alright. They have Jumpin' Jim Jeffords and we'll take Zell Miller!
A good trade if ya ask me!!

UNITED STATES COAST GUARD
AUXILIARY SUPPORTS COAST GUARD SECURITY EFFORTS DURING THE REPUBLICAN
NATIONAL CONVENTION IN NEW YORK CITY
The United States Coast
Guard Auxiliary, the civilian volunteer uniformed component of the
United States Coast Guard, will be part of the contingent of
governmental agencies maintaining security at the Republican National
Convention which began today in New York City.
Scheduled to
participate in this event are well over 100 Auxiliarists who will
maintain a 24-hour presence on over 60 Coast Guard Auxiliary boats,
called facilities. These boats are all privately owned by Auxiliarists
who freely loan them to the U.S. Government for use in missions that
support the Coast Guard and Homeland Security.
While these boats
serve the Coast Guard and the U.S., the owners are reimbursed for fuel
and damage should it occur. The Auxiliarists receive meal stipends but
are required to pay for their uniforms and equipment, out of their own
funds.
The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary currently has
over 36,000 members with 3,900 or about 11 percent of the membership
located in the First Coast Guard District, Southern Region, which
encompasses the New York City Metropolitan area, from Southern New
Jersey to parts of Connecticut and Vermont.
According to CDR
John Felker, the region's Director of Auxiliary, and the Coast Guard
Officer who is the Auxiliary Program Manager in the First Coast Guard
District, Southern Region, "The men and women who are part of the
Auxiliary set the bar that all volunteers should seek to emulate. Their
unselfish devotion, from their donation of their most precious resource
– time, to braving all weather conditions on the water and in the air,
to assist the Coast Guard and the Department of Homeland Security in
protecting our great country is to be commended."
In addition to
security and safety patrols around New York Harbor, Auxiliarists will be
manning Coast Guard public relations booths, assisting with Coast Guard
communications and providing a vast assortment of direct and indirect
support jobs in the New York City area.
In addition, a
contingent of Auxiliarists, who have completed the First District,
Southern Region Auxiliary Chef School, will be trading their boats for
aprons as they man the ovens, cooking for Team Coast Guard at locations
like Station New York, Military Ocean Terminal Bayonne and Station
King's Point in support of the 24-hour security operations.
Auxiliary assistance to the Coast Guard is not limited to event. The
Auxiliary will beef up their status at all the Coast Guard stations in
the region during the RNC in order to meet the unique security demands
of this event. Auxiliary facilities will provide increased Search and
Rescue platforms and crews, safety patrols, vessel safety checks and a
wide assortment of other missions that members of the Auxiliary perform
on a daily basis.
Auxiliarist Frank M. Ferraiuolo, the Auxiliary
First District (Southern Region) Staff Officer for Operations, and the
Auxiliary's liaison with the Coast Guard for this event, can't begin to
convey both his enthusiasm, about those who are participating in this
event as well as the rest of the Auxiliary.
"I think the RNC
will involve thousands of Auxiliary volunteer hours," said Ferraiuolo.
"Many people have given up their vacations and days off to help. We have
had a great response from our members in support of this mission."
"The Auxiliary is the pre-eminent volunteer organization in the
Department of Homeland Security and their response to this surge
operation is only one example of why these volunteer lifesavers hold
this honor," Felker said.

the site cspan.com is saving me this week...I can't stay up for these speeches due to my schedule, but watch them every morning with my coffee.
I'm not sure if I needed it, but I upgraded my Realplayer for a 14 day free trial (offered on their site) and am now able to watch and hear all the speeches. PTL!
I thought the Bush twins were just fine and cute, and real...I can't believe anyone was picking on them the way they did. Arnie and Zell..THE BEST...except for our Laura, of course, God bless her!
Your new tagline, please meet MY new tagline...courtesy of last night.
Yes, here it is.

I Saw The Light", by Zell Miller?
Thank you!
Balloons. Where is the profanity?
I am too, so much my buttons of my shirt popped off as my chest swelled with pride.
True tagline!
Sorry: I missed your question earlier.
Zell Miller's book is titled "A National Party No More", I think.
