Keynote
One of the keynote speakers at a major party's political convention this year has had a lot of really nice things to say about John Kerry. Let's read.
My job tonight is an easy one: to present to you one of this nation's authentic
heroes, one of this party's best-known and greatest leaders -- and a good
friend. He was once a lieutenant governor - but he didn't stay in that office 16
years, like someone else I know. It just took two years before the people of
Massachusetts moved him into the United States Senate in 1984.
Wow. Pretty strong praise. Let's read on.
In his 16 years in the Senate, John Kerry has fought against government waste
and worked hard to bring some accountability to Washington. Early in his Senate
career in 1986, John signed on to the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Deficit Reduction
Bill, and he fought for balanced budgets before it was considered politically
correct for Democrats to do so. John has worked to strengthen our military,
reform public education, boost the economy and protect the environment.
So, who is this man speaking Kerry's praises? Barack Obama?
Nope. It's the keynote speaker for the Republican National Convention, Sen. Zell Miller (D-GA).
Zell made these comments about John Kerry at the 2001 Democratic Party of Georgia Jefferson Jackson Dinner. Just keep these comments in mind when you hear Zell's speech on September 1...
