Jeb Bush Recounts Meeting With Roberts
Jeb Bush Recounts Meeting With Roberts
By BRENT KALLESTAD, Associated Press Writer

Friday, July 22, 2005


(07-22) 14:52 PDT Tallahassee, Fla. (AP) --


snip...
An expert in constitutional law then in the private sector, Roberts came to Tallahassee at his own expense to volunteer advice to Bush as the governor's older brother tried to clinch the election over then-Vice President Al Gore.


Rep. Robert Wexler, a Democrat, said that meeting alone should disqualify Roberts.


"Ready, fire, shoot," Bush said Friday when asked about Wexler's statement. "Everything is off the top of his head. He has no idea of what our relationship is."


Bush said Friday that he didn't even remember Roberts when first asked about that 2000 visit earlier in the week.


"It was a very short meeting," Bush recalled, noting there were others in attendance, although he was unsure who they were. "It was not related to politics."

6. The * family are all said to have a gift for faces and names.
It was common to their father GHWB and the sons supposedly have the facility as well.

9. I think Roberts involvement in the 2000 Recount
is something they would rather have go away.

5. Rep. Wexler is 100% correct. That should be obvious to anyone.
Roberts has a history of extreme partisanship and has no business being a Supreme Court Justice.

End of story.

8. Florida is a Sunshine Law State
If Jeb was having meetings in his office, then there supposed to be a PUBLIC RECORD of his appointments and who attended.

Stop the BS Jeb.

BTW: Hadn't Jeb already recused himself at this point?

Plus, since Roberts was such a nice guy to come all the day and volunteer wouldn't there be a record of his volunteerism that would have been reported to the Dept of Elections has a campaign contribution?

13. Bush also publicly pretended to not remembering meeting Kenny Lay...
until a freedom of information act request revealed hundreds of letters and personal correspondence between the two felons.
