Jeb being warm and fuzzy again in FL... (learned from his brother?)

Excerpted...

The governor and the secretary of state have sparred along the way with the ACLU, the League of Women Voters and, most recently, with former president Jimmy Carter. Bush dropped any semblance of the usual diplomatic niceties extended to former presidents when he referred to Carter, a Democrat, as "that guy" in a sharp retort after Carter wrote an op-ed piece in The Washington Post that questioned whether Florida could hold a fair election and that said Jeb Bush "has taken no steps to correct" election problems that had disenfranchised African Americans.

"That's just bogus," Bush told the Miami Herald. "That guy doesn't have a clue what's going on in Florida."

Lew Oliver, chairman of the Republican Party in Orange County, a key swing area that includes Orlando, calls criticisms of Bush's role in the electoral process "a seriously bum rap."

"As usual," Oliver said, "the Democrats crawl around telling lies like Joseph Goebbels."
