TALLAHASSEE, Fla.

Gov. Jeb Bush joked during a Florida Cabinet meeting Wednesday that the people of San Francisco may be endangered and, "That's probably good news for the country."

The subject was environmental land and Bush was looking at a map of showing locations with a lot of different wildlife at the time.

"It looks like the people of San Francisco are an endangered species, which may not be a bad thing. That's probably good news for the country."

People in the room broke into laughter

"Did I just say that out loud?" the governor asked.

n/t

[salin]

38. save this article (to hard copy if needed)

just in case the putz ever decides to try to follow in his daffy brother's footsteps (buy his way to the White House).

[ChompySnack]

2. BFEE sponsored terror attack on SF?

One has to wonder.

Scary for people with that much power to single out a cities population like that...

[Karenina]

32. Ouch!

Stop tweaking my tinfoil! :tinfoilhat: That was my FIRST thought when I read the headline.

[Shakespeare]

3. Further proof....

....that Jeb is an unapologetic asshole. He's even more vicious and vindictive than his brother. What a creep.

[ClintonTyree]

29. Yeah...........

but the rednecks here in Florida LOVE it! I seriously have to move, AGAIN. Maybe if I move closer to a major population area where a freshman in High School isn't considered higher education. Gawd I hate this state, and Jebbie is the tainted frosting on the shit cake.

[nickgutierrez]

43. Ugh...

Yeah, that's part of the reason I chose to go to school out of state. What part of Florida are you in?

[Barrett808]

4. I've suspected for many years The Con would nuke SF

Look for a dirty bomb attack (made with looted Iraqi nuclear materials) mid-2004.

[bobbieinok]

5. A clue where the next terrorist attack occurs?????

so aWol's poll numbers go up and he has a 'mandate' for further messing up the ME.

[jono]

6. What an ass. (nt)

[mcar]

7. Jeb is an idiot

from a proud Floridian :)

[Media_Lies_Daily]

15. What makes it worse is that he is a supremely ARROGANT idiot...

...and probably knows more than he should.

[Book Lover]

8. Boorish imbecile

San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown wasn't too worried by the comment, according to spokesman P.J. Johnston.

"When he finally stopped laughing, he said, 'I'm sure this is a tongue-in-cheek comment. I'd feel a little better if the governor would send me one of his alligators; I've got a supervisor that needs companionship,'" Johnston said.


And a big effing thanks yet again to Wille "Do Nothing" Brown... Look, I know the mayor job was a favor to you for retirement, but could you do a little something about this town's reputation? Or is that too close to work?

I am so grumpy today....

[Zhade]

41. You mean Willie "Warned Not To Fly On 9/11" Brown?

NT!

[Sagan]

9. Tee hee hee!

It's funny because it's liberals, see? And they'd be endangered and die, see? People dying is always funny, just ask the Chimp.

[DUreader]

10. I thought even joking about terrah was a crime...

unless your name is B*sh

[Demobrat]

12. As a 20 year SF resident

I'm not laughing.

[0007]

17. ......and one of the finest cities in the World isn't laughing!

Love ya San Francisco

[eissa]

23. That fucker

SF is one of the most beautiful and fascinating places on earth. Not that a bush would appreciate any of those things. Asshole.

[foreigncorrespondent]

28. I'm not laughing either...

....and I'm not a resident of your wonderful city. However, my partner Sapphocrat is a resident of the Bay Area.

[Lars39]

13. The mayor of SF needs to formally ask him what the hell he meant by it.

Ask him if he's promoting terrorism against SF citizens.

[Room101]

14. Fu*k You, you fascist bastard

.

[SideshowScott]

16. I can never get over Right Wingers making light of Deaths of Americans..

I find it more than disturbing how an underlieing theme of the Right wing is the gleeful joy over the thought of the death of Libs and Dems of America...Whats more amazing is How on earth he got Re-Elected..My god how Arrogant can you be

[bobbieinok]

27. Re-elected???

Many voting 'irregularities' in 2002.

[Oreegone]

18. Hey REpulicans are into IGNORANCE

Make fun of anyone with a brain or an education laugh at the demise of your fellow Americans if they don't think exactly like you. Ha Ha you are all dead....lalalalala....."Who would Jesus Hate?" Lovely bunch, of dumbdowners....hey why don't they just run someone mentally challenged for president....oooops they already did that...

[kskiska]

19. If he says these things out loud

imagine what he's not saying, and what's going on in that big head of his.

[susu369]

37. "Devious plans" in that big head of his

he said that out loud before. Creepy.

[Hell Hath No Fury]

20. Hey Jeb...

F**K YOU and your sorry ass!

:nuke:

Personally, I think it would be great for our country if Bush politicos would become an endangered species. Considering the quality of your offspring, I might just get my wish...

I'm tracking down that buttholes number and h=giving him a piece of my mind. AND I'm sending this to my supervisor and local columnists.

Dickweed.

[Bandit]

21. It's the city of love ~ We can't have that now can we?

This is the generation of Hate, The sixties are over. Killing makes them laugh and who knows maybe they can hit another trifecta, starting with San Francisco, and next Boston and New York. I'm sure they would be staining their jeans if those cities were hit with something devestating.

[peterh]

22. Hmmm….not in any of the Bay Area papers yet…

Only three Florida sites are carrying this story so far….weird

[AntiCoup2K4]

24. Could Jebbie be implying that....

God's gonna get them sodomites!!

And if that's the case..... shouldn't he, as governor of Florida, also be worried about Key West? :evilgrin:

[kayell]

25. This whole family is made up of such insufferable assholes

that it is completely incomprehensible how anyone could ever have voted for any of them. I wouldn't want to be in the same room with one of them, or the same town, or for that matter, the same nation. Yet another symptom that the whole country is going straight to hell. "People in the room broke into laughter"

[RuB]

26. Ah if only nature did us a favor and made the Bushie's extinct?

Please?

[shamanstar]

33. maybe you should rephrase

you arent a bush so i dont think you are allowed to say things like that. they will be knocking on your door soon to take you to guantanamo for your terroristic thoughts.

[aquart]

30. It was a captive audience of Bush appointees.

They had to laugh or suicide out a window.

[aquart]

31. Heartlessness is the trademark of Bush humor.

They just don't see people as being alive like they are.

[arcane1]

34. "looks like the Bush family is an endangered species"

"that's probably good news for the country"

is THAT funny Jeb? Or is Vaterland security going to knock on my door for saying that?

you asshole :grr:


this bay area resident ain't laughing

[hunter]

40. Hey, I was gonna say that.

Louder now,

"...looks like the Bush family is an endangered species, and that's GOOD for the country!"

(May their political careers shrivel and die, and may the foul stench they have left on this nation soon be dissipated.)

Hah, hah, hah.

[FredScuttle]

35. gee, thanks Jeb

I think I'll shift into elitist San Franciscan mode here and say "Jeb, if you insult the jewel of California, SF, in your dreams, you better wake up and apologize!"

Seriously, who's writing his material? Annthrax?

[bluestateguy]

36. Send this to Bernie Ward and Ray Taliaferro of KGO

then again it should be no surprise that a Republican does not much like a big city with minorities, non-Christians and gays.

[Lindacooks]

39. What a fuckhead.

God, those Bushes are a plague on the world. WHEN are they going to go away?

[Duncan Grant]

42. Entitled bastard...

revealed loads with that statement.

No worries Jeb, there's no love lost between SF and you.

[leesa]

44. God, these are ugly creatures!! The Bush Crime Family, pure

unadulterated evil. Can't wait to see them get the ultimate punishment after they are found guilty of treason against their country. Will they laugh as loud?

[calimary]

45. WHEN WILL THIS END?!?!?!?!??!?!? Dear God. WHEN?!?!?!?

Damn you, jeb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
