At last!!! Max Cleland gets the attention he so richly deserves!! I wrote The WashTimes a Letter To The Editor, but drats! They didn't publish!

"Letter to The Washington Times Editor:
I've had it with Max Cleland blaming rascal Republicans for the loss of his senate seat. Like many other Georgia Republicans, I voted for Max Cleland when he first ran. As an Army wife for 28 years, I trusted him with Sam Nunn's senate seat. I knew Max wasn't "the sharpest knife in the drawer", but I did consider him to be an honorable man. Well, I was wrong. Max Cleland's stunt in Crawford confirms Georgians were right to throw Max out of the United States Senate. Max Cleland betrayed the people of Georgia.

Max Cleland lost his senate seat because he served the Clintons, not Georgia.

Georgians were embarrassed when Max dozed off during C-Span televised hearings. The sleep disease which Cleland said explained his on-camera naps, was miraculously cured when Georgians let their displeasure be known.

You expect a sitting senator to prepare, and do well in debates against a challenger, you don't expect a sitting senator to use false allegations against the President and mean-spirited insults to his opponent, as reasons why voters should re-elect him.

Max Cleland did not do his homework, for his debate, or for us. Georgians were embarrassed when Max couldn't question witnesses at hearings, without reading verbatim from staff prepared notes. Woefully unprepared, Max could never offer serious follow-up questions. Instead, Max had to rely on time-filling, corn pone southern colloquialisms, always delivered with a fake, good ole boy grin. That shiny, stinky, "mackeral in the moonlight" turned out to be Max Cleland! "

EXPLOITING MAX CLELAND

by Mia T, 8.29.04

ax Cleland is remarkable.

What a pity he allowed delusory left-wing flights of fancy and lust for power rob him of his nobility.

The irony and the tragedy of Max Cleland overwhelms.

Remarkably, Cleland did not become an embittered man when John Kerry's self-inflicted, bacitracin + bandaid-treated, tickets-out-of-Vietnam-and-onto-the-JFK-career-path scratches were deemed worthy of three purple hearts while his three missing limbs were deemed worthy of none; this, even after insult was added to injury when he was dispatched to Texas to lend his phantom limbs to Kerry's self-serving cause.

Cleland became embittered, rather, because he actually began to believe the principal neo-neoliberal premise--the neo-neoliberal premise that undergirds all other neo-neoliberal premises--which is, that he was entitled to his Senate seat not because of his abilities but because of his disabilities, not because of his policies but because of our pity...or even our shame.

Cleland lost the election because he supported his party's union quid-pro-quo policy at the expense of America's national security. That his patriotism was challenged is a leftist canard. What was challenged was his judgment and ability to protect the people of Georgia and America against the post-9/11 realities. (NOTE: I would add this caveat: Cleland and the Left conflating the two charges, (i.e., equating lack of judgment with lack of patriotism), suggests their own guilty knowledge of same.)

If Max Cleland lost nobility last week, John Kerry lost any semblance of decency. Harnessing and fomenting Max Cleland's denial and bitterness, Kerry sought finally to bring to fruition his cynical 1971 scheme that would shamelessly exploit a crippled vet for his own self-aggrandizing purposes.

Today, with the following throwaway line, Brit Hume, Kerry's childhood pal, perhaps not so unwittingly revealed the core of Kerry's unfitness--the constancy over time of John Kerry's overweening opportunism.

Delivering the Kerry coup de grâce with the uptown refinement and politesse we've come to expect from him, Hume slyly observed: "John Kerry gave his 1971 testimony with a [Kennedy-esque] accent I didn't hear when I knew him as a little boy and an accent I haven't heard since."
