Probably not. . .but Jeb has been saying no to a new line of oil wells off the coast.

More like a tool of Florida's tourism industry, but that's fine with me.

Well of course he is saying "no" to these drilling rigs. Geez Steve, you act as though the lying sack of shit's word is gospel. He can SAY anything he wants to, while working behind the scenes to assure that the opposite happens. After all, his brother is King, and they can do any God damned thing they want, from stealing Presidential elections to lying a nation into war.

Jeb says he is against offshore rigs??? So what, you actually BELIEVE the prick?

Steve this piece of drivel was worthy of a post ?

How about getting back to form with a post on Deputy Secretary of State Zoellick resigns !

km4 -- sorry to disappoint. I do find it interesting that Jeb Bush is on the opposite side of oil drilling operations. Why? Because it's very useful to know for future ANWR battles. That's not drivel. That's material in one's war chest for the next real environmental battle.

On Zoellick, I had a post ready to go -- but my site went down for some reason. Haven't figured out what happened. Still investigating.

But as I was one of the first to ever indicate that Zoellick was going to resign, many weeks ago, I had little to add to a story I had been one of the first to post about.

Best,

Steve Clemons

Cripes, tough crowd!

Shows how being a tool for one industry can be manipulated to appear not to be a tool for another.

Now watch Jeb be assigned false 'street cred' in the Orwellian world of the mainstream media.

Well, I think you were hacked. When I attempted to reach the site yeterday, I repeatedly got a page telling me "Your account has been suspended". I figured you'd banned me for calling the king's brother a "prick".

I hate to be catty, but why is Jeb's head 50% larger than that of aWol?
