Zell Miller, 86, dies

[mystery-ak]

Zell Miller, a former two-term governor and U.S. senator who gave birth to Georgia’s HOPE scholarship, has died at the age of 86, his family said Friday in a statement.

Miller was a keynote speaker at a Democratic National Convention — and a Republican National Convention. A veteran politician who really wanted to be a minor-league shortstop. A man unswervingly loyal to his mountain roots who came to be seen as a traitor by many in his political family. A statesman who never strayed from his basic principles, yet seemed utterly unpredictable.

When we lived in GA I always like Zell.   To bad we also had that major league asshat Bob Barr.

He should get a 21 spitball salute.

The very last Democrat in DC that I could support.

Yes, he was a Democrat, but he was first and foremost a fervent patriotic American.

Huge moment in the race.  It crushed Kerry as a potential CiC.

He was a silly bastard. Wasn't he the guy that wanted the state to provide Walkmans with Mozart to new mothers?
