Jeb Bush: "Payback Time"

[REP]

ABC, Florida State Pull Out Victory

Speaking of which, it was a game for names. Only a few weeks ago, the NCAA announced it was cracking down on Indian school names and discouraging broadcasters from using them. But a reversal in the case of the Seminoles--the tribe fully supports the team--and the devastation of Katrina meant that it was the Miami team name of Hurricanes that fell more jarringly on the ear.


Also somewhat jarring was the comment of Florida Governor Jeb Bush. When asked by Commentator Brent Musberger about the help Florida was supplying to the stricken Gulf Coast, he pointed out that Florida had braced for the storm, and having dodged it, was ready to offer assistance. But he also characterized the storm as "payback time," given that Florida had been hit by four hurricanes last year.

1. I remain unjarred....

by both the comments of insensitive types, and team names that might send the curiously affected into a tailspin of hysteria over such silliness...

From just one FL resident...

3. Jebby's just trying to act "presidential."

4. No Bush fan, regardless of 1st name...

but think he could have been referring to 'pay back' in the sense that folks from AL, MS, & GA always send power crews, etc. and support when FL is hit. Now those folks can give back to others.

5. that's where he also stated that he gave 20 bucks to the red cross

6. Oh no he didn't...

Twenty Dollars???

I'm sending every extra dollar I can to the VFP Hurricane Camp and the local LA Gov't page.

I even sent the often over-administrated Red Cross more than that on Katrina Sunday.

The poor impoverished underprivileged Bush family...in compassion and decency.

7. this is an inaccurate presentation by that publication

He said "payback time" in reference to his state sending supplies to states that had helped Florida in previous circumstances.

There are a sufficient number of idiotic things that Bushies say on a daily basis.
