DEL.ICIO.USTurtle on a fence post
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Gov. Sonny Perdue is now giving his inaugural speech. He began it by calling three former Democratic governors to the podium: Carl Sanders, Joe Frank Harris, and Zell Miller.
Perdue told Miller’s story of the turtle on the fence post. “You can be assured that the turtle didn’t get there by himself,” the Republican said.
Then he turned to his predecessors: “On behalf of a grateful state, I want to ask our audience to stand with me and acknowledge that you all helped put Georgia on a high, high fence post.”
The unanswered question, of course, is where Georgia’s other two former governors were — Roy Barnes and Jimmy Carter.

Roy Barnes and Jimmy Carter are so caught up in their petty grudges (voting machines, Jimmy’s flavor of the day) that they can’t for one day be diplomatic and support the great state of Georgia. “That’s what Roy and Jimmy did.”

Roy Barnes and Jimmy Carter were too busy nursing their petty grudges to be diplomatic (for one day) and support the state of Georgia. “That’s what Roy and Jimmy did.”

markymark, Assumping the worst of Roy Barnes and Jimmy Carter says more about you than it does them.

Roy was probably looking for a loophole in the coming Voter ID proposal. Some Northern states have voter ID but it seems to be an inconvenience in Georgia.

Toby Cash, What are you talking about? Georgia has a voter ID law that requires one of seventeen forms of identification to vote. You need to become more informed before making such statements.
