Right now I think you're talking about allegations. If substantiated, then they should be addressed. I'm a taxpayer and I don't condone payments to anyone which aren't consistent with the law.

The Water Pump deal cost the taxpayers over $70 million dollars. That's not an allegation, it's a fact which has been widely reported. JEB entered into a legal settlement with one of his partners who'd sued him in advance of the 1998 election which, conveniently, sealed the settlement from prying eyes. I don't know if JEB did anything wrong, after all he's an expert (I'm sure) in third world water pumps. Still without JEB's involvement, I have to wonder if his firm would have gotten the financing and made the sale.

Does no one work in law enforcement in this entire nation? The list of Gov Bush's alleged wrongdoing by some journalists is a mile long and then some. Was Gov. Bush just such a genius while he was engaged in all this alleged wrongdoing that absolutely no one could figure out how to bring an investigation, indictment, and prosecution? Was there no such thing as the Dem Party or a FL Dem governor or a Dem anyone who might have been interested in any of this? Nothing ever came of any of these tired allegations against him. If something had, I would say you have a point. But nothing did. And, so, I have to conclude the reason for a;ll this inaction is people had nothing on him, although his political enemies -- you included, BTW -- wish something had happened.

And, BTW, what I said -- "political enemy" -- as it pertains to you, means, in my book: someone who NEVER has anything positive to say about Gov. Bush, despite all the good he has done for the people of this state.

I am clarifying what I meant by that because to others who are more experienced in politics than me, such phrase might have a more sinister definition, though I did not intend that with respect to you. I just think you are way off base with him.

And, IMO, you are equally off base with your assessment of Feeney in this situation. What Feeney did here is not the worst act ever done by mankind, but it was a stupid decision, and one he could easily correct. But his subsequent acts, to hold a news consference to uphold his original idiotic decision, and then to rewrite the job description to cover up, only compounds the problem and further inflames voters, especially women voters.
