Our lame duck Gov. is starting to meet some resistance from those whom he would fuck. These are groups who might have historically simply rolled over and shut their eyes, gritting their teeth and taking it like a man as Jeb! moved in and violated their most intimate values. But now, Jeb!’s power is on the wane, and former victims are turning on their attacker with growing confidence. Is it time to change Jeb!’s trademark punctuation? Hmmm… “Jeb?”, or maybe “Jeb:-(“?
Bush cancels rally aimed at pushing class-size repeal
Snubbed by the state’s leading education groups, Gov. Jeb Bush and the state Department of Education have canceled a rally scheduled for Monday to promote the governor’s effort to dilute the class-size amendment approved by voters three years ago.
While the governor’s spokeswoman, Alia Faraj, acknowledged Wednesday that some invited groups had decided not to attend the rally, she said it was postponed because of the Passover holiday, which begins Saturday and lasts for eight days, although only the first and seventh days are considered full holidays. No new date has been set for a rally.
“Legislators wouldn’t be back in town until late in the afternoon” Monday, Faraj said, even though the Senate has committee meetings scheduled at noon that day.But opponents of Bush’s plan said the rally cancellation could be indicative of what they say is opposition in the state to asking voters to repeal what they approved in 2002.
“I don’t think the popular vote is out there and finally the superintendents and school boards are recognizing that his proposal doesn’t offer that much, either,” Sen. Ron Klein, D-Delray Beach, said. “The governor has been able to pressure those groups in the past, but as he winds down his term, he has less power over them.”
I was pointed to your blog several months ago from a friend in Tampa (I’m in Miami), and I have become a big fan. Especially of the posts that include Jeb!’s sad face. BEST. PICTURE. EVER. Anyway, keep up the good work.
