St. Petersburg Times: Jeb Bush wields clout without accountability
Jeb Bush wields clout without accountability
By Tim Nickens, editor of editorials
In Print: Sunday, April 11, 2010

If Jeb Bush wants to be governor again, the job will be open soon.

If he wants to be a U.S. senator, he should run against Gov. Charlie Crist in the Republican primary instead of sniping at him in the national media.

Of course, Bush won't enter either race.

Why should he?

Bush is advancing his conservative agenda in the Legislature and influencing the Senate race without coming out of the shadows. He has tremendous clout and no accountability. He makes tons of money, travels the world and answers to no one.

9. "a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity,"
When I read Matt Taibi's article on Goldman Sachs in Rolling Stone, I thought it also applied to the BFEE.

"a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money."
