Bush unleashing Zell Miller tomorrow. per MSNBC.

[dogtag]

OMG, they must really be desperate...is this a hail Mary pass or what?

edited to add:

Zell is going on the road with Shrub. He's the secret weapon!!!!!!

[Thrill]

1. Maybe Chris will take him up on that duel

[calico1]

7. Well, that might get good ratings! n/t

[blackcat77]

2. "He speaks to the undecided."

LOL! He speaks to the ignorant is more like it.

Notice that the Pub would not say that Bush's numbers were going up.

[Catt03]

21. Will appear with Bush in Youngstown, Ohio

[Proud2BAmurkin]

32. LMAO........Zell is a CRANK and a JOKE

bring em on

[xultar]

3. That's the 13th nail. It's over! We WON!!! n/t

[Tamyrlin79]

9. The 13th Nail?

Is that like the magical talisman that sends the Bush Junta back to the hell they were spawned from?

[xultar]

20. YUP! n/t

[movonne]

4. Maybe he will attact Tweedy...

[mourningdove92]

5. Oh goody, maybe he will meltdown again, slobber at the mouth

and mumble dubya, dubya ,dubya

[wanpete]

6. Being a native Georgian

I am sickened by Zell Miller and I know exactly who they are going after when they send out Zig Zag Zell...the hillbilly vote. This is pathetic.

[LiberalFighter]

11. I don't think there are that many hillbillies

At least I hope not or at least not as many as there use to be.

Besides any "hillbillies" that they are going after are probably already in their camp so a waste of time.

[wanpete]

30. my point exactly. It's pathetic and pitiful.

[w4rma]

15. There is nothing at all wrong with

hillbillies or going after hillbilly votes. But, imho, your broad brush against that group of folks is extremely offensive. Note that the Democratic Party is going after as much of the hillbilly vote as we can get with economic policy that will help them and not billionares.

There is alot wrong with Zig-Zag Zell, though.

[wanpete]

40. zig zag strikes a very visceral nerve with african americans

we know his kind and we know the talk, and it is offensive and rupulsive. Trust me on this one, I have no problem with being from the hills or rural america. i can't. But I do have a problem with zell miller and the very clear message he sends for the repug party.

[Bandit]

35. The hillbilly vote...I don't think Clinton will vote for him

Isn't that what they spent eight years saying about Clinton..he is just a hillbilly?

[robbedvoter]

8. Unleash? Untie more like it. From the straight jacket.

[Tamyrlin79]

I don't think Zell helped them at their convention...

And he won't help them now.

[dogtag]

10. I just edited my thread.

Zell is going on the stump with Shrub.

[Bossy Monkey]

23. It helps more if you edit the subject line, which is what was unclear

Clearer would be: "MSNBC: Bush unleashing Zell Miller, taking him on road" or something like that. As is, it reads like Zell is coming on Hardball, which would be everybody's fondest dream.

[dogtag]

28. Done. Thanks. I was multi-tasking.

And my dog was helping me type. Am I sounding like Shrub?

[Ready4Change]

12. Run for Cover!

Duck!

[LiberalFighter]

13. More like the secret weapon for us.

How many think that with Zell's ranting and raving will just turn off the undecideds and put them in with Kerry?

[dogtag]

17. Seems pretty damn risky to take Zell from Hell on the road.

Can't imagine them doing it if they really think Shrub is ahead.

[Norbert]

14. Hail Mary? It's more like pulling the Goalie.

[hippiechick]

29. ... more like putting the Scrub Line on the ice, actually ...

;)


:hippie:

[gavodotcom]

16. A hail mary pass for whom?

Matthews is already needing a slobber bib, I'm sure.

Miller isn't going to stand a chance.

[demokatgurrl]

18. THIS is our October surprise?? I hope they forget

to give him his medication.

[dogtag]

22. Let's see now...they said that Patti LaBelle was invited to the

Kerry/Clinton rally yesterday to help pull in the black vote. Instead of using the word 'said' I should have used the term 'pulled out of their asses' the theory of why Miss Patti sang the National Anthem in Philadelphia, but just who exactly does Zell pull in to the 'big tent' of the GOP.

Crazy, very angry, backwoodsy white men? Axe murderers?

[umtalal]

25. they can have them and keep them.

[JPace]

19. They need to give him his rabies shot first....

the man is completely rabid and vicious. He is the
absolute picture of someone I would never want in
my life.

I don't care what he says....he is NO Democrat!

[umtalal]

24. If Zell is going to attract people from this party, I say keep them.

[Liberal Veteran]

26. Yeah? How's that working out for you, Chimpy?

:eyes:

[4_Legs_Good]

27. OMG NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Please, please say it isn't so! We'll never stand up against two raving loonatics!

Crap. It's over. I'm switching parties now.

david

[durablend]

31. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Another blast of hot air will decimate us--especially if he didn't brush!!!!!

How will we ever defend against the Zell Yell?!?!?

WE'RE DOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!!!!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

33. Wasn't Zell Miller's Life The Basis For The Deliverance Movie

Now George let me hear ya squeal....

[dogtag]

34. It'll be interesting to see if they try to tone him down

or let Zell be Zell. He could end up like Shrub in the debates...don't yell, try to smile, keep eyes in sockets, etc.

[onecent]

36. Let's send Zell some $1 store pistols.

They ARE desperate. I would be embarrassed...in fact, I am embarrassed for them to have to parade him out in public.

[name not needed]

37. SPITBALLS! SPITBALLS! PISTOLS AT DAWN!

Oh boy. Hopefully Zig Zag Zell took his medication.

[undercover_brother]

38. Ahhhh. Zell. The voice of the Democratic Party

from 1850

[Piperay]

39. ROTFLMAO

hehehehehe...they MUST really be desperate to drag out that raving looney ... :wow:

[noamnety]

41. They should bring Keyes along too

Keyes and Miller together, flanking * during his speeches.

How can we make this happen?

[dogtag]

42. Perfect!!! Keyes, Zell and Shrub. What a trifecta!

[ikojo]

43. If the Democrats had the party discipline of the Repugs

Zell Miller would not be allowed in the party. There is no way the pugs would have tolerated a pug senator (retiring or otherwise) to speak on behalf of the other party's canididate! The Democrats act as if it's just another example of the good ole Democratic bipartisanship.

Bipartisanship: means Democrats roll over and do whatever the pugs and Bush want.

[Zen Democrat]

44. Is this Rove's October Surprise???

[dave502d]

45. Alzheimer's

Zell has this disease.So would you say Bush is taking advantage of
a man with Alzheimer's disease.I heard that the first sign of the disease is anger.

[Riddler]

46. How f'ing desperate do you have to be

to have to depend on letting a certified lunatic and rabid old fool out of his cage long enough to try to win you some votes???????

[Zen Democrat]

47. Is Zell the stand-in for Arnold??

[Generator]

48. F'ing Idiots!

Zell Miller is the one that actually makes the press wince. He is seen as a "loon". He is not going to win anybody over, but damn, party party party like it's December 24 1999!!

[spanone]

49. Hide the Children....

He's gotta spook even ardent bush* lovers.

[Lugnut]

50. Tomorrow?

Zell was in Scranton PA today, big whoop. They are really desperate if they think Zell is any kind of weapon.

[Zorbet55]

51. Git off my land, Zell Miller.....git off ma land!

Me and Osama are gonna take off your daughters, Zell Miller! You wanta duel, Zell Miller? I'll meet your scruffy butt at high noon tomorrow in Abilene.:spank:

[MADem]

52. That is absolutely WONDERFUL

Anyone who saw the SNL skit (Chris Matthews and Zell Miller) will be REMINDED of that recent, fabulous piece of comedy.

I gotta say, I just love the way ole Zell pronounces every possible vowel in the word DUEL.

I wouldn't call this move desperate, it really is more like DELUSIONAL. Even Republicans think that guy is not quite the full quid. But hey, get the asses in the seats, and if people show up hoping he'll start spitting spitballs again, it might be worth the indignity of a pat down and a loyalty oath for some pop culture freaks.

Zell is really the Pet Rock of the GOP.

[Zorbet55]

53. Maybe Bush and Zell will sing "God bless America"

together or some Kobe Teeth feel-good songs.

[NightTrain]

54. Pardon me while I laugh my ass off.

HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!

Goddamn, George! Zell fucking Miller? Is he the best your handlers could come up with?

Christ, I can hear him now: "John Kerry spikes my sandwiches with gonorrhea! I have proooooof! Where's my picnic ape? When my kneecap turns blue, it's time for a cee-gar. George, help me rassle this big ol' octupus to the ground before it eats mah face!"
