Jeb has gone "stark raving pig-headed over this.... malpractice thing."
http://www.sptimes.com/2003/07/09/Columns/Be_it_wrong_or_right_.shtml

SNIP...."Meanwhile, Bush is turning the e-mail apparatus of the Florida Republican Party itself, like a destructo-ray, upon those Republican members of the Legislature who have offended him.

He is calling them names, printing their phone numbers, trying to whip up public anger against them.

It must be a heck of a feeling, being a Republican senator, having worked your whole political career to bring about a Republican majority in Florida, and then seeing your own party machinery used to vilify you under the direction of a governor for whom you broke your back in the election...."

He is attacking the senate on TV, in the papers, and I think it is outrageous. Troxler is a delight when he gets mad at Jeb.

1. let him
People, this is good. I've read three articles in the past two days about how the Nazi fringe og the Repukes is turning against those in its own party deemed too moderate or not rabidly loyal enough-Arlen Specter is facing a well-funded Nazi in the primaries here next year. This was the first step in the disintegration of the Left in the 1970's: petty ideological squabbles taken to murderous levels. Let's stay united and encourage the fascists to rampage against the "disloyal" ones in their midst. It only benefits us.

the left was attacked by these very same right wing Nazis.

5. alas
We did. Not to their vicious extent, by any means, but orthodoxy was fiercely enforced. See the new documentary on the Weather Underground or Molly Ivins's descriptions of endless recriminatory arguments about arcane points of ideology. but, we are not quite as cannibalistic as you point out.

And I love the St Pete Times,,,,thanks MadFloridian!

I'd also love it if deviousjeb had enough rope to hang himself...God the bush brothers are the most hubristic sobs on the Planet Earth.

Whatever happened to the Lawton Childs of Florida?

9. RIP Lawton Chiles
"Walkin'" Lawton Chiles unfortunately died in office. It was a sad day for Florida. It was the only way that Jeb could get elected.

8. That's why dinner out got cut short 11/7/2000
Jeb and family had to go home and make sure certain votes didn't count when they heard Gore had won Florida.

6. Strange consistency in the Boosh family
Both throw tantrums like crybabies when they don't get their way.

10. This is what happens when you cross the B*shits
Waaaaaaaaaaa! Poor widdle Jebbie isn't getting his way.

Let's keep crossing them, expose them for the whining, simpering, wimpy spoiled brats that they are. The more resistance we put up, the harder it is for them to keep their true horrible, ugly selves contained.

The Dem. candidate for Prez had better stick it to * during the debates. Tough, factual, well-coached.

7. 'They are turning on each other'
I like this part the best:

"Here is the Republicans' problem. There are too few Democrats in the Legislature to matter any more. The Republicans have run out of other people to call names. Now they are turning on each other."

That'll expose the extremists for the crackpots they really are.

12. The Bushes are not Republicans. They are criminals who use
the GOP for their own ends--fascism and nepotism.

13. The best thing I can say about the Bush boys in power is that
the Bush Family of parasites are finally being exposed to some sunlight.
