An exception
I thought I was a yellow-dog Democrat -- so much so that I'd even vote for a blue cat or a chartreuse hamster. But everybody has limits. Last night America heard from a man who claims to be a Democrat, even though Democratic Party Chair Terry McAuliffe repeated today that "he has no position in this party." He's yellow, he's a dawg, but I would never vote for Zell Miller.
Did you know that Dick Cheney either voted against, spoke out against or eliminated each and every military weapon Miller mentioned last night?
Speaking of exceptions, why weren't both of Cheney's daughters out there on the stage with him last night? Was somebody afraid of the likes of Alan Keyes?
Don't forget to join the Great American Shoutout tonight as Bush approaches the podium to accept his party's nomination. You can shout no matter what side you're on. In the New York metro area, people will be shouting "Fuggeddaboudit!" -- but I might go with a more succinct regionalism from my native Appalachia: "GIT!"
Meanwhile, the Pleasure Boat Captains for Truth have been joined by the Cheerleaders for Truth, who are seeking any evidence that Mr. Bush actually did any cheerleading at Yale, other than the varsity letter he was awarded for it.
