Governor recalls political miracle

Gov. Jeb Bush, a devout Catholic, credited the Virgin of Guadaloupe with interceding on his brother George's behalf during the 2000 presidential election.



Exactly 469 years after the Virgin of Guadalupe was said to have appeared in Mexico, Gov. Jeb Bush was marveling at another act of higher intervention: The U.S. Supreme Court's decision to make his brother president.

''Four years ago was the culmination, if you recall. . . of a lot of anguish, a lot of tension that isn't my style. I didn't really appreciate all the satellite dishes out here. And the night of the appearance of the Virgin of Guadalupe, on Dec. 12, was the day. That night the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the president,'' the governor said.

''That was the more emotional day, Dec. 12,'' he said. ``This year, the election was over on election night. So we've kind of moved on.''

8. Sorry, Jeb--wrong Virgin. Study some more Mexican history.

La Virgen de Guadalupe was the patroness of the the Mexicans who rebelled against the Spanish. They carried her banner with them into battle. She remains the Queen of the Americas & a serious symbol of Mexican/Chicano pride. (Aztec goddess? Perhaps. But many of the European Virgins had "interesting" pasts.)

La Virgen de los Remedios, with her links to Cortes, was adopted by the Loyalists. She remains popular among more conservative Mexicans. But I doubt she would have given Jeb the time of day, either.
