October 3, 2006 — Informed sources in Tallahassee, Florida have told WMR [Wayne Madsen Report] that Governor Jeb Bush was fully aware of ex-Rep. Mark Foley’s conduct with underage male pages but sat on the information to protect Foley and another top GOP Florida official, Attorney General Charlie Crist, who is currently running for governor to replace Bush. Today, Jeb Bush said he had not previously known about Foley’s behavior with the pages before being informed by House Speaker Dennis Hastert in a letter dated October 1, 2006. Bush said he was “dismayed and shocked to learn about Congressman Foley’s unacceptable behavior.”
However, according to our Florida sources, the FBI and Justice Department informed the Florida Governor’s office, Attorney General Crist, and the Florida AG’s Child Protection Cybercrime Unit at least a year ago about Foley’s predatory emails and instant messages. WMR was told that Crist’s conflict-of-interest in the case stems from Crist’s and Foley’s involvement in gay sex parties, some of which took place during 2003 in trendy Coconut Grove, Florida.

Foley scandal reverberating in Florida gubernatorial race. Left to right: Crist, Foley, and Jeb Bush.

Informed Florida sources claim that up until now, Crist and Jeb Bush have been able to keep a lid on the once-divorced Crist’s life style, touting his conservative Christian credentials, but that the Foley revelations will severely impact the Crist gubernatorial campaign. The links between Foley and Crist are certain to harm Crist with his conservative backers who admire Crist for his anti-gay rights stance. Floridians begin early voting on October 23

Jeb Bush, even as we speak, is being groomed to one day control this country.

Bring him on…I’m sure the country would love a nice long look at the hanky-panky he has contributed to.

Little things like aiding Cuban terrorists…Commandeering state police to flout the law…Voter suppression…Espousing rank hypocrisy at every turn…You know, the usual Bush criminal family fraudulence, mendacity, and swindling.

Nothing out of the ordinary

Jeb Bush was in Pittsburgh last evening for a Rick Santorum fundraiser. Unfortunately for Jeb, on his way to the venue he ran into a bunch of protestors assembling for the event.

Things got ugly from there. Here’s how the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette describes it:

Mr. Bush had been walking in the area near the T-station and the incident happened spontaneously when about 50 pickets “tailed him and stayed with him and went into the Wood Street station.”

. . .

Mr. Grove said a Port Authority canine unit was called in to help with crowd control. Two officers used their tasers to stun two protesters who “were asked to leave, but did not go,” Mr. Grove said.

The tasers he said were empty of the cartridges that supply a more powerful charge.

“It was a very tense situation. They were very close to the governor and shouting on top of him.”

As a precaution, the governor was ushered into a T-station supply closet and stayed there until the crowd left.

When I said Republicans were on the run, this isn’t quite what I had in mind.

Can anyone local confirm this?
It’s just like Rove to try and make the GOP the victim here of the rabid lambs of the left.

Jeb Bush, even as we speak, is being groomed to one day control this country. The Bush clan believe strongly, that they were born to rule. The Bush’s think they are a ‘breed apart’.

Would you like some V.P. for your pushpoll? Huhhuhhuhhuh.

punaise,

I missed that. Some of the signatories aren’t Alaska residents. I’ll make ANY doggies who sign the petition HONORARY ALASKANS. go ahead and sign!

I got an EPU copy of this post pulled from Howie’s Sestak post above for being OT, and am highly pissed…….

OK, I’ll be a virtual AK resident for today.

Re the OT pull above: I think it’s out of respect for the guest candidate to stay on topic and be polite. Plus, those live-blogging sessions tend to bombard the candidate with excellent questions so it’s hard for them to keep up as it is. The one time I caught some flack in a session like that (it was actually the Soros book club discussion) was because i didn’t adequately explain an on-topic link that appeared to be out of the blue and OT. I say this as one who exercised restraint and has on occasion nudged others to keep the language clean in those sessions (hi Sharkbabe!).

The Jeb Bush hiding in the closet (god is that ripe for discussion in the Foley -R-Fl situation) is up on Huffington now.
