Gov. Bush takes verbal swipe at candidate Dean in Tampa event
Gov. Bush takes verbal swipe at candidate Dean in Tampa event

The Associated Press

TAMPA, Fla. --
Gov. Jeb Bush chided current Democratic front-runner Howard Dean in the race for the White House, labeling Dean a candidate for "hot, angry people that aren't rational."

In a Wednesday event to announce the appointment of George Bush's Florida campaign director that was interrupted by heckling from a Dean supporter, the president's brother also remarked that former Vermont governor Dean had lead a state "half the size of Miami-Dade County."

Dean, whose campaign has raised record millions of dollars due largely to his vocal opposition to President Bush's war in Iraq and other policies, has surged to a lead among Democratic voters in early primary states.

Dean has surprised his party's establishment by drawing crowds as large as 10,000 people while touring the country. He has raised more than $20 million for his campaign.

"Dean's my man. I'm a big Dean guy," said Gov. Bush, his voice dripping with the kind of sarcasm he has often used to chide political opponents. The governor will serve as his brother's Florida campaign chairman.

3. so what the hell have the Bushes done?
they have not "led" - they have mislead and misled - and plundered the states and the country - and let's not forget that the idiot simian has invaded a sovereign country and is using the treasury like it is his poppy's bank account -

In a Wednesday event to announce the appointment of George Bush's Florida campaign director that was interrupted by heckling from a Dean supporter, the president's brother also remarked that former Vermont governor Dean had lead a state "half the size of Miami-Dade County."

this piece of crap spewing garbage has absolutely not one ounce of "honor" or "integrity" - he belongs in the brig with his entire family.

5. "hot, angry people that aren't rational."
Oh I think we're very rational. Irrational would be sitting back and continue to let those facists break this country down.

must be unsettling to him if he's making statements like that.

7. Sounds like Jeb is hot, angry and irrational.
I think Dr. Dean needs to treat his condition.

9. Ya know, it hasn't been a good week
for relations between the CIA and the bush family. If Jethro's got any sense at all he'll keep a low profile from here on in. He's got more than a few skeletons in his closet. Wouldn't suprise me in the least to see a story on Jethro "suddenly break".
