Jeb seems to forget his brother was MIA as TX gov
Apparently the law at the time was if the Gov was gone for a 24 hr period then he couldn't get Gov pay for the day....the Lt Gov would get the pay. So W would come back in the 23rd hour a lot to get his daily "pay".
He didn't even come back when a large twister directly hit Downtown Fort Worth...he sent Perry and stayed out on the campaign trail!!!
The running joke back then was "where's W(aldo)?" since he was on the campaign trail so much and not in Austin!
