#1 Oooooh! "Dithering Diplomats" goes in there along with "Nattering Nabobs" and "Blithering Boobs"...

#2 Reps get Zell Miller, Dems get John McCain.

We're even.

#3 McCain craves press attention, but at the end of the day I think he's too decent to ever join the Donks. The trade was Jim Jeffords for Zell Miller. The Reps made out like bandits on that deal.

#4 I don't know that there was an actual "trade" that went on...
Jumping Jim helped kill God-knows-how-many votes in the Senate in favor of the Dims and was a faux poster boy as the "conscience of the Senate" (i.e. Liberal Useful Idiot)--Oh, yeah, Jim had principles.
Zell, bless his heart, didn't "come out" as a Bush supporter and old-style populist Conservative Democrat until this year--the end of his term, whereas Jumping Jim was elected in 2000 as a Republican, not as an "Independent"(Democrat by default) and "defected" from the GOP right after his election.
