Mick sends us the sad news<\/a> that former governor of Georgia (1975-1991), and US Senator (2000-2005) Zell Miller, 86, passed after battling Parkinson’s Disease yesterday;<\/p>\n

A lifelong Southern Democrat, Miller famously famously spoke at the 2004 GOP convention as a Democrat in support of former President George W. Bush\u2019s re-election campaign.<\/p>\n

A decade earlier, Miller had been the keynote speaker at the 1992 Democratic National Convention, endorsing then Arkansas Democratic Gov. Bill Clinton for president.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wiki<\/a> tells the story of his military career;<\/p>\n

Less than a month after the Korean War armistice, Miller wound up in a drunk tank in the mountains of North Georgia. Miller stated later that this incident was the lowest point of his life. Upon his release, Miller enlisted in the Marines. During his three years in the United States Marine Corps, Miller attained the rank of sergeant. He often refers to the value of his experience in the Marine Corps in his writing and stump speeches; in his book on the subject, entitled Corps Values: Everything You Need to Know I Learned in the Marines, he wrote:<\/p>\n
