Jeb pouts in 'Voucher Crashers'

During Gov. Bush's campaign in 1998, he claimed that vouchers weren't a big part of his education plan. Now, the governor may spend his last year in office campaigning to make vouchers part of the Florida Constitution.

One of the best scenes in the hilarious movie Wedding Crashers shows Isla Fisher, in the role of the treasury secretary's daughter, throwing a temper tantrum. She scrunches up her face, swings her arms and stomps her feet. It's funny because she's a grown woman acting like a little kid.

Gov. Bush acted much the same way on Thursday after the Florida Supreme Court, in a decision that everyone but he and his delusional aides saw coming, ruled that Gov. Bush's system of vouchers is unconstitutional. He fumed about the public school "monopoly." He railed against the court — except, of course, the two justices he appointed. They backed the illegal voucher program.

It was familiar petulance. The governor shows it each time he is challenged. He blew up six years ago when two African-American legislators staged a sit-in to protest his policies toward minorities. He pouted when court after court ruled against him in the Terri Schiavo case. When environmental groups sued to block the Mecca Farms site for The Scripps Research Institute, the governor called them "legal terrorists." It is the arrogance of an ideologue who thinks he's never wrong.

2. "The public school monopoly?"

3. Yeah, stealing tax payer monies to pay for private education

was never a popular idea. But, hey, he helped the rich steal the tax dollars of the taxpayer to pay for an elite education for the wealthy for awhile. That's what this administration is all about.

4. You'd think he'd be all for public schools,

since his brother sells the computer programs to test to the (public school) tests mandated by NCLB.

5. He's a professional pouter

6. same pouting face he had when CNN announced that al gore WON the 2000

elections, right after which, he went out to prepretate the biggest and bloodlessliest coup on the people of florida and the u.s.a.

7. It's one of those "traditional family values" the bush's speak of....

being the spawn of Poppy and Babs what else would you expect from the spoiled brat? Their entire family is a study in dysfunction. They've raised a brood of spoiled, petulant, criminal cretins that believe they're entitled to anything their heart desires. Anyone that stands in their way will taste the wrath of that dysfunctional upbringing.

I can't wait until the entire bush family just goes away, shrinks back under the rock where they came from and are no longer a political force in our country. The United States would have been far better off if the name "bush" had never entered the political lexicon.

8. The Bush's are just pc crybabies. It's PC to acquiesce to their

oligopoly. When you don't they piss and moan like spoiled babies.
