crankylexDuring my daily perusal of cnn.com this morning, I discovered this gem, courtesy of Jeb Bush.
TALLAHASSEE, Florida (AP) -- Florida Gov. Jeb Bush told a delegation of lawmakers that he had "some juicy details" about the sexual orientation of a missing Miami girl's caretakers.
During a meeting Wednesday, Bush implied that the two women, who had just been charged with fraud stemming from the investigation into Rilya Wilson's disappearance, were lesbians.
"As (Pamela Graham) was being arrested, she told her co-workers, 'Tell my wife I've been arrested.' The wife is the grandmother, and the aunt is the husband," Bush explained, using his fingers to indicate quotation marks to emphasize the word "grandmother."
"Bet you don't get that in Pensacola," Bush told his guests, a group of lawmakers from Florida's Panhandle.
An attorney for one of the two women called the governor's comments "outrageous" and said the women are sisters, not a lesbian couple.

Does 'Bush' mean 'braying jackass' in the original Latin?
*sigh*

Date: 2002-10-04 07:31 am (UTC)Isn't it wonderful that we have such fine, upstanding people running our fine, upstanding country?
Then again, who knows what the hell would happen if I ran the country. I can see it now; the United States of America, den of sin and iniquity.
But at least I'm not a dumb-ass who makes stupid, thoughtless remarks to the press.
And we know how much I love the lesbians.
And what the hell does iniquity mean? Something tells me I should know.
