Another record FLIP FLOP. Bushes DISOWN Zell
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5897622

Late Thursday, Miller’s name was removed from the list of dignitaries who would be sitting in the first family’s box during the president’s acceptance speech later in the evening. No explanation was immediately offered, but the change was made only a few hours after Laura Bush, asked about Miller’s deeply personal denunciation of his own party’s nominee, said in an interview with NBC News that “I don’t know that we share that point of view.”

7. All the morning talking heads were smirking about Zell
And they showed clips over and over again, smirking and cheezing their way through comments about how a "Democrat" was supporting Bush. It's too late. The implanting is alredy complete. They own Zell.

Lick Laura's Bush - Drop Bush Not Bombs! - FUCK BUSH

4. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Sorry, but HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.


He is the perfect face, not just of conservatism, but of Bush's campaigning style. The way they've handled the whole thing has been equally perfect.

5. Bush: "Zell who?"
"Uhhh.... I may have met him once."

Zell has been officially "Layed" or "Chalabied".

6. Rove: "Sorry About the Snub, Zell. You See, We Don't Need You Anymore"
Everyone that touches the Bush/Baker cabal eventually winds up six feet deep in shit.

That's how the Bushies operate and have operated for years. They are users. They are vampires. They suck every beneficial ounce of blood from you and then discard you...and if you complain? You either wind up dead or smeared.

George H. Bush nearly brought down the Reagan presidency with his Iran/Contra crap.

Look at Bush's old friends: Norriega, Hussein, Chalabli.

They use you. Then they lose you.

Saudi money always cleans up the mess.

9. Perhaps Zell should have been preceeded by a disclaimer:
"Warning: The Views Expressed Here Are The Rantings Of A Bitter Old Man"

10. I hope the democrats do not let it go at that!
Zell "Zig Zag" Miller need to be completely discredited to the point that he becomes a liability not only tyo the reThuglican party but so much so that no politician will want to seek his backing for any office. Zig Zag, if let off the hook could wiggle back onto the scene to do us more harm.

11. Serves Zell Right
for abandoning his party only to be used shamelessly by the Bush Gang and then make a fool of himself on national TV. Pretty impressive way to slink out of politics , Zell .

13. Doesn't share what point of view? Zell simply spouted standard Rep
talking points. He just forgot to strike the pose of compassionate conservative while speaking.

Tough shit for you, Zell. But thanks for your inadvertent help in further exposing the cravenness of the Bush family.
