JEB! Bush defends meeting with SC nominee Roberts

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Gov. Jeb Bush blasted a Florida congressman Friday for suggesting that Supreme Court nominee John Roberts be disqualified because of a brief meeting the governor and Roberts had during the 2000 presidential recount.

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."

If you're being pejorative, it's "Ready, Fire, Aim" Even Jebyah can't get 'em right.

Family values, my ass.

anything in his life for the people. He is a BFEE and PNAC operative.

By the way - what is wrong with Bush's nose in the photo above?

:shrug:

I'm sure that the other white meat had minutes of the meeting taken, after all....let's hear exactly what Roberts had to say...

If Judge Frenchfry was providing actual and legitimate legal advice to a sitting governor on a matter of public import, a responsible governor would have had a meeting with members fo his staff presence and a record would be kept.

If no record was being kept, one can only assume it was because details of what was said needed to be concealed from the public.

The other white meat's statement opens the door for the rest of us to demand to see the minutes or the transcript. Because it confirms that Judge Frenchfry was supposed to be there to provide "actual and legitimate legal advice to a sitting governor on a matter of public import."

Supreme Court nominee "volunteers at his own expense" to offer advice on how to steal an election...and that is not a reason to disqualify him?

These guys are such blatant assholes that if it were not so disgusting it would by hysterically funny.

John G. Roberts' support of Bush during the 2000 recount should disqualify him.

The Bush team was trying to stop the counting of votes, and I believe that in this country, we should ALWAYS make sure every vote is counted.

I think what happened in Florida was a violation of the 1965 Voting Rights Act!

He claimed he didn't even remember meeting with him.

(which should i do?)

...Robert's chances of getting on the SC(r)OTUS... in case the BFEE needs another election stolen in '08.

...hope he rots with the rest of the cabal that's fucking the country and the planet.

To hell with all of that trash.

However as an Atheist wish him Hell in the here and now, sometime real fucking soon.

What a smarmy pig of dog.
