Jeb Bush ‘a poster child for gay marriage.’
This story just amuses the heck out of me! Thank you, Jeb and Columba!

Jeb Bush ‘a poster child for gay marriage.’

“A coalition of civil rights groups that back gay marriage is using photos of prominent couples like the former Republican governor and his Mexican-born wife, Columba, in an advertising campaign marking the 40th anniversary of Loving v. Virginia, a U.S. Supreme Court decision that gave interracial couples the right to marry. The groups say they hope to use the couples and the court case to bolster their contention that marriage is a civil right that should know no bounds - even for those of the same sex.”

1. Ah, Girlfriend, it's about the fresh towels!
My favorite Jeb story. When he was asked what he would miss most about being governor, he said the fresh towels in the gov's mansion.

Gotta love a man who digs fresh towels. :rofl:

2. His daughter ever end up in jail?
Or did daddy pull the strings and keep her out. Can't remember her name. She was faking prescriptions if I recall.

3. Her name is Noelle, and I'm not sure, though I do remember seeing her
mugshot.

5. No, they weren't. It was a social taboo in the Southwest, but never illegal.
Mexicans are considered racially white cause of their European ancestry. Yes, I know they're also about 50% Indian, but adherence to facts is not the hallmark of racist thinking.
