"In Florida, about 30,000 children are in the foster care system. Some have been there for years, waiting for a permanent home. They are Gov. Bush's responsibility. But last week, they didn't have his attention.

In Florida, tens of thousands of boys and girls are in the juvenile justice system. From the incorrigible to the misguided, they are supervised by people who don't make much more than the minimum wage. Those juveniles are Gov. Bush's responsibility. But last week, they didn't have his attention

In Florida, nearly 36,000 adults are in the Medically Needy program. It provides care for those who are too young for Medicare and too sick to qualify for Medicaid or get affordable insurance. They are Gov. Bush's responsibility. But he wants to cut the Medically Needy budget by $400 million, while cutting taxes. Last week, he wasn't looking for a way to make up the money for those people whose lives depend on what the state provides.

No, last week, Gov. Bush was worrying about a woman who is not his responsibility — Terri Schiavo."

2. All politics ...

... all the time. If there was *any* "political capital" to be gained taking up those other causes, Jeb! would have done so. He wants to be remembered kindly when he runs for (gag me with a spoon) president in 2008.
