Actual picture of Reno "helping" a child.

MIAMI (AP) -- Talk show host Rosie O'Donnell hosted a $250 per person fund-raiser Sunday for Janet Reno, the former U.S. attorney general and a Democratic candidate for governor.
``When I heard that she was running I called up her office and told her I would do any and everything I can,'' O'Donnell said.
O'Donnell was hoping to raise $50,000 for Reno, one of five Democrats attempting to unseat Gov. Jeb Bush.
Asked about her chances of defeating Bush, Reno said bluntly: ``I'm going to win.''
Both Reno and O'Donnell, a foster parent, said they shared a commitment to helping children.
``It's a big problem in the state of Florida. There are over 3,000 children today available for adoption, free for adoption in the state, in foster custody,'' O'Donnell said. ``Chances are they will age out of the system, they will go right into welfare and into prison, so we need to do better for this generation of kids.''
The comedian owns a home on Miami Beach's Star Island, a gated community of mansions along Biscayne Bay. The closed event was held at a private home.
Analysts said the appearance with O'Donnell could pose problems for Reno when she attempts to court voters in areas heavily composed of gun owners, sportsmen and military personnel.
``Anything that connects Reno to gun control means Democrats lose big in north Florida,'' said Susan MacManus, a political scientist at the University of South Florida in Tampa.
Like the shill for the "Former Occupant of the Oval Office, 1993-2001", Janet Reno, EVER has the better interests of any child in mind. When she deals with children, it is only to further her own agenda, which has the external appearance or depriving the natural parents of custody of their children, for either imaginary misdeeds, or real misdemeanors of very small consequence. Reno has no sense of justice or proportion whatsoever.
Don't you just love the everyman quality of liberals?
I see she has been brushing up on her speaking skills.
On the positive side, its good to know that US soliders, like the one in the photo, are now in Afghanistan trying to kill bin Laden, rather than intimidating little Elian and his family.
What a difference an election can make.
No. Ms. Reno, you're not.
Happy New Year, summer! Thought you might want to share for the miseducated folks at AP, who were given their first amendment protections in order to actually inform us (E-mail AP), the real improvements for Florida's children since Jeb took over as Governor.
Reno made it easier to steal an election by relaxing the voting regulations pre-DC days, she may know every DEM. fellow dirty-trickster by name (including our AG Bob Butterworth), she may get all the free positive publicity she could wish from the Florida press, but she is NOT going to win this election. Ms. Reno, we have enough hot air in Florida already. Take your lies elsewhere.
No doubt. Birds of a feather flock together.
Thats what momma always said.
They remind me of
"The Dynamic Duo"
Hmmmmm,could be onto something;

I don't think a burning building or the gestapo snatching a child out of its home is "helping children."
``Chances are they will age out of the system, they will go right into welfare and into prison, so we need to do better for this generation of kids.''
Whatever for? This sounds like the perfect recipe for 3,000 more RATS later on. I thought that this is what the RATS wanted.
I know, it's both of the above.
