I think Jeb Bush is trying to take attention off DSM with his new

[Quixote1818]

idiot move. Think about it, the Terri Schiavo case is over the Michael Jackson case is over and now the media needs a scandal or a trial to focus on for ratings. Attention is starting to shift toward the DSM and just as it's getting traction in MSM Jeb pulls this insane move to keep the Terri Schiavo soap opera alive. I suggest we stay on target and the Big Enchilada which is the DSM and try to keep Jeb off of the MSM by ignoring him.

This is a critical juncture for the DSM! If it falls off the MSM due to Jebs thing it may be hard to bring back. We need to keep it alive just when their are no scandals for the MSM to get distracted by.

1. the continuing Schiavo thing?

I can't see any other reason for what he's doing besides trying to give the news something to do other than real news. The Jacko trial is over, the Aruba missing girl story is sorta stalling. They're actually reporting real news, or could unless there is a bs story.

I can't see any other reason.

3. One other reason.

The man is f***ing insane! It runs in the family and has been passed down for at least three generations if not more.

5. Touche'

I can't argue that the man has questionable genetics. Not only that he's not exactly top of the catch if you know what I mean.

As tired as I get of the Florida jabs...

there are times I am embarrassed to be a Floridian.

9. Perhaps, but keep fighting the good fight...

It must be hard for you, especially considering what I saw as a visitor last December...I drove by this enormous Bush/Cheney banner (must have been at least two stories high) at what I believe was a campaign or RNC headquarters in Coral Gables. It just freaked me out, sorry.

13. Better than the huge billboard still up on I-95 Northbound in

Brevard County. "Evolution is a fairy tale for Adults" complete with a scripture citation.

[Unforgiven]

21. Agreed

me as well, Geeeze! When will it stop?

[Goldmund]

2. It ain't like we decide what the MSM will cover...

[Quixote1818]

15. It's all about ratings, so yes we do

Unfortunately the story will probably take over very soon because of the number of idiot Americans who will tune in.

4. don't you think his new attack on

mr. schaivo will backfire? i am hoping so.

6. I think it will in a big way and that is why I am not worried about it.

I think he is taking a bullet for his brother just as DSM is starting to get attention.

[Pacifist Patriot]

8. I certainly think it has that possibility, yes.

10. It already did the first time

So this will make it worse because they're not letting Mrs. Schavio rest in peace and they're bothering a man who's grieving. Of course the fundies are lunatic so they don't give a damn. I wish Schavio would sue their asses.

Jebbie Bush is just saying he didn't hear the fat lady sing yet. Somebody needs to get him a really good pair of hearing aids.

7. Of course

They have to do something.

[babylonsister]

11. This attention is just emphasizing his stupidity, and

by extension, that of his family AND the MSM.

[Uncle Joe]

12. I agree

This is a distraction by Jebby boy to create a story to suck the oxygen out of the news cycle, and give the corporate owned media monopoly an excuse (as if they needed one) to ignore the more important evidence (Downing Street Memos)that the Bush lied to congress and the American People about going to war with Iraq.

14. Welcome to DU Uncle Joe nt

[Uncle Joe]

19. Thanks for the welcome Quixote1818 n/t

[VaYallaDawg]

17. Agree with you totally Uncle Joe.

The news from DC just couldn't possibly get any stinkier - *'s poll numbers sliding by the hour - so here comes li'l bro' Jeb to toss a distraction into the mess. Never mind that it is totally disrespectful of a poor woman who they just won't let rest in peace.

Disgusting, the whole lot of them.

[readermostly]

22. Most definitely agree. Welcome to DU Uncle Joe!!
