Does a nod of political support count if it comes in the men's room? Sure, says Florida Republican Senate candidate Larry Klayman. It happened recently when he was in Miami. Klayman, known for his Judicial Watch suits against former President Clinton and President Bush, was washing up inside the bathroom at a general-aviation terminal when, he says, Gov. Jeb Bush walked in. "Hi, Larry," Klayman hears. "I wish you well." Turns out the two are longtime acquaintances; Bush even tried to find Klayman office space back in 1995 when he was in real estate. "He never found the space I wanted," Klayman recalls.

"Hi, Larry," Klayman hears. "I wish you well."

Equating this greeting to political support is a stretch.

Yeah, it means about as much as one of those little tin JW badges.

What Jeb actually said (noting Klayman's consistently constipated look) was "Gee Larry, I hope everything comes out ok".

JW+LK+$75 million or so the last five years = No cases won.

Oh, and no taxes paid either since JW is a "nonprofit".

The best politicians make almost everyone they meet feel special.

I met Larry Klayman at the Inaugural Ball.

He looked at everyone like one looks at a bug.

The odds of him winning -- for this reason alone -- are low.

[Eccl 10:2]

No politician in his right (or left) mind is going to do anything to associate himself with Larry Klayman. He is poison, and would best serve his country quietly fizzling away in his Judicial Watch.
