“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Andrew Sullivan: Miller's speech was "gob-smackingly vile"

I never thought I'd say this, but get Andrew Sullivan on the stump for John Kerry.
He savages Zell Miller and the politics of hate. It's an incredible piece that bodly points out the lies of Zell Miller and his disgust with this Republican face. Here's his closing:
What's remarkable about the Republicans is their utter indifference to fairness in their own attacks. Smearing opponents as traitors to their country, as unfit to be commander-in-chief, as agents of foreign powers (France) is now fair game. Appealing to the crudest form of patriotism and the easiest smears is wrong when it is performed by the lying Michael Moore and it is wrong when it is spat out by Zell Miller. Last night was therefore a revealing night for me. I watched a Democrat convince me that I could never be a Republican. If they wheel out lying, angry bigots like this as their keynote, I'll take Obama. Any day.

Go read the whole thing. Seriously.

*UPDATE* He also has some points about Cheney and Romney.
