'Why me? What did I do wrong?'" Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said.
Well, gee, Jebbie, let's count the ways. To start with, your entire family has contributed to global warming and you refuse to even acknowledge that it exists. What else has Jebbie done wrong?

2. Jeb, nor his siblings, or his children
have ever entered war to defend this country. Nicole, under the 3 strikes law, would be in prison for life in many states.

4. As much as I truly hate to defend Jeb
Edited on Sun Jul-10-05 03:12 AM by renate
he actually didn't imply it was all about him.

In the link it says:
"I think there is a legitimate feeling, 'Why me? What did I do wrong?'" Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said.

It sounds to me as though he's speaking for people who've boarded up their homes for the fourth time in one year (or have I lost count?). I utterly loathe the man... but I don't want to make us look bad by misquoting him. I'm sure there are plenty of other Jeb quotes that will make him look bad all on their own.

On the other hand, point well taken that his big brother is largely and directly responsible for the complete and vile lack of action to stop global warming. Maybe what 525 too many Floridians did wrong was to vote for W and fail to offset the election fraud.

Edited to correct birth order

12. It's important to be accurate
I get tired of clicking on threads and finding the titles were misleading. It's like watching Fox News.

7. Boy, did he ask the wrong question.
Let's put the obvious bad karma answer aside. Jebbie, you are the Governor of Florida. FLORIDA. I use to work for an insurance company more than twenty years ago and the weather professionals knew then that Florida was a hurricane disaster waiting to happen. As a personal lines underwriter I heard many seminars on the subject. They kept warning us that we were ripe for the BIG one. They knew this TWENTY YEARS AGO. It's probably one of the major factors behind the withdrawal of so many insurance companies from this state. Are we suppose to ignore that their numbers drastically dropped in that period?

But your comments tell me something important. It tells me that you never understood the special characteristics of this state and because you didn't you overlooked some important things, like building codes? How many years did you yield to the construction and real estate industry, Jebbie? What you and your Republican minions said would never happen in your lifetime, is now happening. And all I have to say to all of you is, Fuck You All!

10. He tried to profit politically from a brain-dead woman. How sick.
Then he tried to profit politically from the brain-dead woman's husband. Sick fuck again. Now the sweetheart has called off the investigation because it was totally bogus. FUCK HIM.
