Jeb Bush -- Another example of Florida's Marie Antoinette politicians
I first brought Marie "Let Them Eat Cake" Antoinette into the realm of Florida politics in another blog entry, in which I discussed the aristocratic jackassery of Fort Lauderdale Mayor Jim Naugle. But JEB!, our fearless, fearsome governor, deserves the Antoinette label just as much as Naugle.
After newspapers had a hard time getting ahold of state public records (that's public records, mind you, as in "available to the public"), the state congress -- dominated by Jeb's own party, it should be noted -- passed a law that "would have required agencies to 'respond to requests to inspect or copy records promptly and in good faith,'" according to a story in the Palm Beach Post. The senate passed the law 38-0, while the house passed it 117-1. This morning, Jeb vetoed it. Because, after all, we can't have the public looking at public records, can we?
Governor Je-- oops. Did it again.
Govern-- oops. wrong again. That's his drug-addled daughter's mugshot
Gov -- dammit! That's also wrong. That's his boozehound, arrest-resisting son's mugshot
Yeah, there he is! Governor Jerky McLargehead, alleged aristocratic jackass

just another case of not giving a damn about the public or what they think...it must be nice to be a lame duck...
