I didn't see the speech. My opinion of Zell Miller was formed quite some time ago. Did you see the interview with Chris Matthews? He's looney toons.
Now, before you jump on me for my blind hatred, keep in mind the following:
I don't automatically hate a politician for being a Republican, and speaking at the convention. I still love John McCain, and I still like George Pataki, Rudolph Giuliani, and Michael Bloomberg.
I don't even automatically hate a politician for being a Democrat and speaking on behalf of the President at the Republican convention. If Ed Koch was running for office, for either party, I'd strongly consider supporting him. Sure, Koch isn't in politics anymore, but let's say a prominent, somewhat conservative Democrat like, say, Joe Lieberman, came out and said, "I disagree with much of the Republican platform, but in this time of crisis, my support goes to the President," I'd be disappointed, but I wouldn't hate him.

Zell Miller is a fucking prick.
