I posted this editorial on my new blog HERE.

Not that I want to further incite a riot, and not that any politician is perfect all the time, as we're only human -- but maybe Arianna would like to know that far from the golf outing photo her blog posted (of Jeb! and his father and brother), with the fake headline, sometimes the former governor of Florida did something other than play golf -- like, oh, write to bloggers.

One example would be the email he sent to me, fifteen minutes before he left office in Jan 2007. Here it is, below:

From: "Jeb Bush"
To: [summer]
Subject: Re: Gov Bush, thank you
Date: Tue, 2 Jan 2007 16:44:40 -0500

Thank you [summer]. It has been a joy to serve.

Jeb

Gov Bush, On this, your last day in office, I just had to thank you. You did a lot to reform education, and you made a lot of positive changes.
Thank you.
I especially appreciate all the time you took to read my emails to you, and you writing back to me.
I really do appreciate that.
I wish you the very best now and always.
Sincerely,
[summer]

Moonbats never let the facts get in the way of a hissy fit.

That was a very accurate dig about Drudge, though. That guy's the king of sensationalistic headlines that go nowhere. "Developing..." I can't stand the Drudge page.

My favorite line of this thread regarding Jeb Bush.

Thanks for the post and kudos for your e-mail correspondence with Gov. Bush. I can't stand Huff'n'puff or any of the other leftist sites but it's fun once, in awhile, to hear what they're saying.

Arianna Huffington was a lightweight idiot even when she was a "conservative." But she found her niche, among the tribe of lightweight leftist idiots.

Jeb was a great GOV. here in Fla. as you and I both know...I am actually surprised at how well Crist has been in his first 6 weeks with the tornadoes and insurance law.

Expecting headline accuracy at HuffPo is like expecting lessons on chastity at a strip club. Whoever the webmaster at that site is just picks random anti-Bush/Republican headlines and ignores anything even slightly critical of liberals or Democrats. It makes Daily Kos look bipartisan.

Impressive article. Huffington is a Stepford journalist.
No one knows when, or how... but it is obvious that
"they" got to her.

"Hundreds of howling Huff posters then screamed their heads off about Jeb! becoming president."


Good reason to draft Jeb for president.

Unfortuantely, many readers rarely get beyond a headline, one reaason the lamestream media publishes the way they do, with any actual news buried near the bottom of the article.

Huffington Post goes a step further in actually fabricating stories, or headlines, and get the desired effect, fired up readers ready to vote for the left without a clue why, just sheeple being led around by the nose.

Zsa Zsa Huffington is a dilettante and her site is a joke.

Sorry to say, but aside from changing headlines, I have recently seen all too often a similar phenomenon on FR - a knee-jerk reaction of people who see headline and jump on the bandwagon without reading or thinking on their favorite target or punching bag of the day - Bush, Condi, Rumsfeld etc...

"Just bomb them to smithereens" reaction is also very popular, any meaningless public diplo-speak statement evokes "treason" sentiment and so on...

Only somewhere around post #20 you start seeing someone making an accurate statement about headline not matching the article, article having no new facts or rehashing old "news", or plain "so what's the big deal?" which usually a good description of article "about nothing"...

Unfortunately, knee-jerk reaction and cannibalism are not limited to loony left, it's an infectious decease that affects all, but particularly demoralized, depressed and disaffected - the state of many conservatives and/or Republicans today.

Keep cool, remain proactive... Two years ago Dems were on suicide watch, two years from now... ?

Arianna is an airhead who's 15 minutes of fame was up a long time ago.

Were it not for the fact that she has a cute accent and married to a closet queer who was a prominent California RINO, she would be less famous than me.

Nice job on calling out the Huffington Post on their antics.

I'm glad to see you have your own blog now. You've composed some great articles here at FR.

No offense but who in the hell with any brains reads Huffies trash anyway? You can't get fooled if you don't listen to fools. (old Indian saying)

What do you expect from Huffington Post? When that suicide bomber went off outside the Bagram base in Afghanistan, hundreds of comments expressing outrage that VP Cheney wasn't killed went up on the thread over there. And those comments are still there.

What do you expect from a woman who caused a man to go queer?
