Georgia Governor Zell Miller gets a divorce

[gollygee]

This is pretty funny - edited to include story so it's clear it's a divorce from the Dem. party - not his wife. Sorry for the misunderstanding!

Zell Gets Divorced
07.12.04
CCDC


At this evening's meeting of the Chatham County Democratic Committee, the following "Decree of Divorce" was adopted unanimously by the members of the CCDC:

DECREE OF DIVORCE
Be it resolved:

The Democratic Party of Chatham County, Georgia does hereby DIVORCE former Democratic Governor Zell Miller. Statements and Actions of the formerly-Democratic U.S. Senator have irretrievably broken the bonds that formerly existed between us and we view any previous ties to Miller as null and void. The Democratic Committee of Chatham County, Georgia cites the following factual grounds:

Miller's endorsement of the sitting Republican President before even the first primary to select among the diverse choices for Democratic Nominee in the 2004 election.
Abandonment and dereliction of his duties to ALL the people of Georgia as a U.S. Senator to, on an almost daily basis, appear on far Right talk-radio networks and on Republican sponsored TV forums for the sole purpose of relentlessly bashing members of the Democratic Party.
His shameless and self-serving promotion of his Democrat-Bashing Book on those same networks and at every Republican forum, appearance and bar-b-que he could physically attend in the last year and a half.
His lone advocacy of the repeal of 17th amendment of the U.S. Constitution which provides for free and direct election of U.S. Senators in favor of the former pre-1900s racial and gender-biased appointment by State Legislatures.
His over 90% voting record in lock-step with a far-Right Republican agenda and in defiance of even the most centrist and moderate members of his former Party.
His agreement to give a nationally-televised speech at the Republican Convention and add his attention-drunk voice to a four-day frenzied chorus of vociferous accusations and patriotism-questioning of those Americans not aligned with the most divisive President in our History.
His willingness to act as the pre-eminent attack dog for the current administration and to remorselessly still claim title to the Democratic label.

It is THEREFORE RESOLVED that Zell Miller stands UNANIMOUSLY DIVORCED from the Chatham County Democratic Party. We further respectfully urge that the media no longer refer to Sen. Miller as a "Democrat" since there are absolutely no current or recent facts which support this label, and we find it to be in violation of our right to define the brand we are entrusted with.
