I'll also bet that Jeb is too much of a p***y to exact a price from Pinellas County for making him look like a fool. If I were Governor and I got egg on my face from a pipsqueak judge in a third-tier county, they would get a nice toxic waste dump and would have to beg on bended knee for ANY discretionary state money.
But the Bushes, for whatever reason, never seem willing to make their political enemies pay the price. What would LBJ, Huey Long, or for that matter Clinton, have done?
Believe me, he's made a lot of enemies doing this and he's not a coward. Clinton told Janet Reno to seize Elian because she had already demonstrated her willingness to kill Americans to do his dirty work (remember Waco?). Gov. Bush is not willing to do the same. This does not make him a coward.
BTW, I'm going down to Pinellas Park later today. Are you? One of the saddest things about this is how few people are at the hospice. If a huge crowd had turned up, even the judge might have been intimidated. But it's obvious that Bush has no support from most Floridians or Americans in general, and this is another thing that makes a confrontation dangerous and a waste of time.
Clinton sent Janet Reno out to do his dirty work Waco and Eilan Gonzales
