What’s Jeb Raising $1.9 Million For?

http://www.pensitoreview.com/2006/06/19/what%e2%80%99s-jeb-raising-19-million-for/



Jeb Bush isn’t saying what he plans to use the $1.9 million he’s amassed in a tax-exempt 501(c)(4) organization. The Foundation for Florida’s Future web site is decorated with apples and glowing headlines about how great the FCAT (Florida Comprehensive Acheivement Test) is, so we would assume it has something to do with education. Not necessarily. The Palm Beach Post says the fund it can be whatever Jeb wants it to be.

-snip-

Despite its vague goals, Bush faithful — those who have been well rewarded for loyalty by various Bush family members — continue to give generously to the fund.

…donors, including a host of developers and construction industry-related magnates from around the state, say they don’t care how he spends it.

-snip-

Of all the headlines on the FFF web site about the FCAT, there were no links to the most recent story, about how the people employed by a private company to grade the test are not educators but instead, pizza delivery drivers and movie theater popcorn technicians. Read on for more.

5. It's possible he could run for the Senate or a 2012 Presidential try...
But he most certainly won't run in 08 for President.

7. Two guys sitting on a bench, watch a dog cross the street. Dog
stops in the middle of the street and starts licking itself.

One man says, "Look at that dog. I wish I could do that".

The other man says, "Don't you think you should pet him first?"

8. According to this CNN poll
He's wasting his time and money.

63% of those polled responded they would "Definitely Not" vote for the president's brother in 2008. Just 26% would even consider it and only 9% would definitely do it.

End of Jeb Bush, though, of course, they highlight Hillary's bad numbers instead of Jeb's.
