Jeb Bush shredding documents -- Abramoff connection? [For all the Dem lurkers out there]

Dem site ^ | Feb. 2, 2006 | WyrdGal

Don't know whether this story is accurate or not -- but [another Dem site] has a story saying that Jeb Bush ordered gaming-related documents to be shredded.  Shredding has begun, but someone ratted Jeb out.  The FBI is investigating.  Possible gaming-Jeb-Abramoff connection suggested in the article.  Hoping TPMers will give this some scrutiny.  If the story holds up, it could provide some much-needed comic relief.

Since I have seen this story jump all over the blogosphere today, I am going to post an email I received from Gov Jeb Bush, for all the Dem lurkers out there. Here you go:

It is amazing how fast news through the blogosphere...

[summer]

Re my post #2 - I meant to type: It is amazing how fast news travels through the blogosphere...(and, how rumors travel even faster)...

On what grounds would the FBI be investigating the governor of Florida?

[summer]

I think this whole thing is called a crock 'o sh*t.

See post #1 again.

Reminds me of something no=one has brought up for a while. Jeb for president. The Dims must be wanting to smear him early and often so that doesn't happen.

IMO it's BS, summer


A few years ago Jeb cut back on casinos in Florida; the only way they stayed was thru lib lawyers. Jeb still opposes them. Don't know if Jack was involved (they are Sun Cruz Casinos) but pretty sure he was involved. The Gov made sun Cruz stop in Daytona. Jeb put a stop to them here until lob judges and lawyers allowed them back (central Florida)

I saw this hop and skip all over the place today -- front page of DU, Buzzflash, etc. These Dems must be worried sick about Gov Jeb Bush maybe changing his mind and running for prez in 2008. Even a smal town newspaper out in Illinois ran this story. No one bothered to ask him about it. And, by the way Dem lurkers, he's very accessible, as you can see from my post #1.

It seems to me to be a total smear. And, really, really, very low. Dems, you are going to have to do a lot better than this to ever win any votes in FL!

LOL! Great email! Brief and to the point.

You should read the other versions of this rumor that I saw posted around the blogosphere today. An FBI agent has "confirmed" the governor is shredding documents, a highly placed "anonymous source" in the State of FL Whatever Dept claims this is going on. Dem posters foaming at the mouth wondering when MSM will carry the story and indict the governor. But does anyone do anything as normal as write and ask him for a response? No.

Sometimes I actually feel sorry for the Dem Party because they keep losing every election. Other times, I think they are just plain stupid. Then I remember why they keep losing elections. After that, I usually have a headache and don't think about them for another year.

I haven't met an intelligent, truthful democrat yet, ever.

I don't blame you! There's not enough Excedrin in the world to fight DUmmie Fatigue.

The idiot liberal who hosts a toilet show on MSNBC will carry it. Keith is his name?

Here's the original version I read.
