The Miller has two faces

Remember that classic '70s soul hit by the O-Jays (who are no doubt thankful their career dried up before old Number 32 went cruising in the white Bronco) called Back Stabbers? The lyrics included these lines:

A few of your buddies they sure look shady
Blades are long, clenched tight in their fist
Aimin' straight at your back
And I don't think they'll miss
(What they do?)
They smile in your face
All the time they want to take your place
The back stabbers

I guess maybe the O-Jays had met "Zig-Zag" Zell Miller. You know Zell; the turncoat weasel — I mean, the Democratic Senator from Georgia — who keynoted the GOP Convention a short while back, taking the opportunity to rip John Kerry a new nether orifice on national television.

You mean, the same John Kerry Zell praises to the skies in this 2001 speech, archived on his own Web site? The John Kerry Zell calls "one of this nation's authentic heroes, one of this party's best-known and greatest leaders — and a good friend"? Yes, I mean that John Kerry.

With "good friends" like Zell Miller, Kerry sure doesn't need Osama bin Laden on his Christmas card list.

Here's a word of advice for you friendly folks from Georgia: If you invite Zell Miller to your next cookout, keep him away from the barbecue cutlery. And don't turn your back.
