Cowardly Dishonor

Zell Miller is slated to present the "Courage Under Fire" award to the Swift Boat Liars for Bush at the Conservative Political Action Conference's Feb. 18 banquet.

Of course we remember that Miller presented the keynote address at the GOP convention this past summer. There he revealed himself to be a world class demagogue by tearing into Kerry for allegedly having opposed too many defense appropriations as a Senator. Setting aside the obvious hypocrisy in that Miller is on record from just a few years ago as having lavished praise on Senator Kerry, particularly for his military service... There was Miller glibly ignoring the fact that the Vice Presidential candidate for the very ticket he was there to support had strongly opposed even more defense appropriations than Kerry ever opposed.

At that same convention, Republicans demonstrated their deep contempt for the oldest and most cherished medal our nation presents her wounded and dead servicement and women:

So yeah... "Courage Under Fire." It took a lot of courage to lie about Kerry and mock his having voluntarily risked everything in service of his country even though as a "fortunate son" he could easily have avoided it like Bush did.

Cowardly Dishonor seems a more appropriate name for the "honor."
