Jeb Bush and the Pædophiles

"I'm shocked, shocked to find out that boy-buggery has been going on in my State of Florida!"

October 3, 2006 -- Informed sources in Tallahassee, Florida have told WMR that Governor Jeb Bush was fully aware of ex-Rep. Mark Foley's conduct with underage male pages but sat on the information to protect Foley and another top GOP Florida official, Attorney General Charlie Crist, who is currently running for governor to replace Bush. Today, Jeb Bush said he had not previously known about Foley's behavior with the pages before being informed by House Speaker Dennis Hastert in a letter dated October 1, 2006.  Bush said he was "dismayed and shocked to learn about Congressman Foley's unacceptable behavior."

However, according to our Florida sources, the FBI and Justice Department informed the Florida Governor's office, Attorney General Crist, and the Florida AG's Child Protection Cybercrime Unit at least a year ago about Foley's predatory emails and instant messages. WMR was told that Crist's conflict-of-interest in the case stems from Crist's and Foley's involvement in gay sex parties, some of which took place during 2003 in trendy Coconut Grove, Florida. 

Foley scandal reverberating in Florida gubernatorial race. Left to right: Crist, Foley, and Jeb Bush.

Informed Florida sources claim that up until now, Crist and Jeb Bush have been able to keep a lid on the once-divorced Crist's life style, touting his conservative Christian credentials, but that the Foley revelations will severely impact the Crist gubernatorial campaign. The links between Foley and Crist are certain to harm Crist with his conservative backers who admire Crist for his anti-gay rights stance. Floridians begin early voting on October 23.

October 17, 2006 -- Florida Governor Jeb Bush responded on Oct. 4 to WMR report on cover-up of Foley scandal:

Oct. 4 -- St. Petersburg Times -- "In a gaggle with Florida's Capital Press Corps Wednesday, Gov. Jeb Bush flatly refuted allegations posted on an Internet website and circulated widely Tuesday that claims Bush, Attorney General Charlie Crist and Florida Department of Law Enforcement were all told by the federal justice department about Mark Foley's e-mails a year ago but covered it up.

    The alleged conspiracy, sourced to 'informed sources in Tallahassee' who were not named, was reported on the Wayne Madsen Report website. (The allegations have also been posted by anonymous bloggers in the Buzz comments section.) Madsen's website claims to tackle 'the 'politically incorrect' and 'politically embarrassing' stories and holds government officials accountable for their actions.'

    But Bush was clearly annoyed by the anonymous allegations and repeated what he has said all week, that he knew nothing of Foley's electronic missives until Friday, when the news broke on the national stage.

    'If the next governor...is going to have to respond to every blog and every tired little anonymous person who has some bitter part in their soul who wants to express it on the Internet, it’s not going to work,' Bush said."

Jeb worried about "bitter souls." Perhaps he should worry about his brother not even having a soul.
