Jeff Miller Does Not Give You Credit 

In fact, it would seem he gives no one in Tennessee credit for being able to notice what an unbelievable hypocrite he is.

He has been spouting off about Lois DeBerry and trying to make political hay of her accepting money from an E-Cycle rep, and yet, well, I'll let Will Pinkston handle it:
"They want to try to make an issue of Lois DeBerry? Jeff Miller took five times that amount of cash from E-Cycle to date," Tennessee Democratic Party spokesman Will Pinkston said. "We have not seen one shred of documentation that it went into his campaign account."
And of course Jeff just assures us we should trust him and take him at his word.
"I put the money in the bank," Miller said. "No, I'm not going to be made out to be untruthful when all I have been is truthful. I did it (deposited the money). My word is good. So my word stands."
Wow. Given Sen. Miller's issues regarding faithfulness and trust, you'd think he'd know better than to ask us to take his word.

Let's make it simple here. Do I think Jeff Miller took $1,000 from E-Cycle as a bribe and spent it on a vacation for he and his mistress? No. He's a jerk, but not stupid. But here's the thing - the people of Tennessee deserve to know what did happen to the $1,000 that he did receive from them. If he put it in the bank, this can all get cleared up incredibly fast. If he didn't, then he needs to explain what he did with the campaign contribution, so other contributors can know what their money is being spent on.

And really, he should probably just shut his mouth for a while. It seems that every time he opens it he just looks worse.
