As our friend Deb says, “Old turncoats never die.”

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) named a former conservative Democratic senator as a co-chairman of his 2012 presidential campaign.

Gingrich named former Georgia Sen. Zell Miller (D) and Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue (R) as co-chairmen of his campaign, and announced that current Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal (R) will lead the former Speaker’s campaign in the state.

Zell Miller in better days

Good Ole Zell Miller.  Honestly, I thought he was dead.  Zell got elected once and then faded away until Newt found him down at the bowling alley trying to pick up  the Fonza Twins, who were, by the way, the first twins elected Miss Peach Pit, 1927.

I can’t prove this, but I think Newt is running for President of Georgia.

I don’t think he can win that either.

But, if he does, it would sure be fun to watch.
