As the world turns, reading is believing - Strange bedfellows: Sen. Hillary Clinton and former Sen. Miller.
This week the Dean writes:
Don't be surprised to see former Sen. Zell Miller make at least one more sharp turn in his political career.
As Miller crisscrossed the state last week autographing his new Democrat-lambasting book, "A Deficit of Decency," a close friend of the 73-year-old author confided that Miller may play an important behind-the-scenes role in the prospective 2008 presidential campaign of Sen. Hillary Clinton. (No, that's not a typo.)
"He really likes and admires Hillary, and they have remained friends through all this (Miller's conversion to ultraconservatism)," says the Miller pal who advised him on strategy in his newfound literary career.
Predicting Hillary might be elected president in 2008, Miller writes in his latest tome, "The nomination is Hillary's for the asking. ... Her current political metamorphosis may make her more acceptable to Middle America. ... She is one tough customer, untiring and relentless in the pursuit of a goal. She also has the best political strategist in the world at her elbow (apparently meaning former President Clinton)."
This could be a case of strange bedfellows in the making. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich has praised Sen. Clinton and indicated he favors her approach to health-care reform. Try this for a bizarre vision of the future: President-elect Hillary Clinton marches into the White House, flanked by Newt Gingrich and Zell Miller - with a huffing-and-puffing Bill Clinton tagging along behind.
