Jeb snaps at reporter at Orlando campaign stop

ORLANDO -- Questions about the sexual orientation of Republican gubernatorial candidate Charlie Crist sparked a rare show of temper by Gov. Jeb Bush today, who called a television reporter a "horse's ass" for cutting off a query from another journalist.

Rumors about Crist being gay have swirled around the campaign for months, but he has constantly denied them.

Outside the Mi Viejo San Juan restaurant, a mob of TV reporters cornered Bush and Crist, peppering them with questions about a gay rights group's call earlier in the day for Crist to come out of the closet.

...

But Bush became peeved when a reporter persisted and cut off an Hispanic journalist trying to pose a question in Spanish.

"Put a smile on your face and don't be such a horse's ass," Bush snapped.

1. Temper temper....

..tsk tsk.:evilgrin:

[DoYouEverWonder]

2. Ew

Getting a little touchy are we Jebbie?

Maybe he's upset that he won't be able to deliver FL to his brother again.

[jus_the_facts]

22. Oh he CAN still deliver Florida to his brother......

...unless the laws changed since July..here's why...

23. This time they can't get away with it

that margins are going to be too wide, for them to make up the difference.

[jus_the_facts]

26. I've heard that said every election cycle since 2000 but I'll belive it when I see it....

...and even then I'll have to question it. :hi:

[eowyn_of_rohan]

27. I can't believe they won't try, though...

Heavily padding the areas "known" (they tell us) to be pro-repub...Taking some away in the pro-dem areas, so that we still "win" but by not as much...JUST enough so they still retain control of Congress...

[Oceansaway]

3. .

takes one to know one....and the Bush's know 'em all........

[AndyA]

4. Bush knows all about being a horse's ass. n/m

[Chipper Chat]

5. Jeb goofed up.

He should have hired George Allen's thugs for the day.

[jobycom]

6. meh. maybe the reporter was. So's JEB. nt

[jpak]

7. At least he didn't call him a "republican whore"...

:evilgrin:

[UTUSN]

8. Kickety poo for Jeb Crow too n/t

[KamaAina]

9. Would that be a "major league horse's ass"?

Just wondering...

[ClintonTyree]

10. Jeb's always pissed now............

he knows he'll never get HIS chance to be President, like Daddy promised, because his big brother Georgie fucked up the entire world when he has his chance. Nope, Americans have had it with the Bush family and Jebbie will never have his shot at the helm.
I would sincerely LOVE to be in attendance at the Bush family Thanksgiving table this year. You'll be able to cut the tension with a knife. Or perhaps they don't allow sharp objects at the Bush table anymore. It could be very dangerous.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall! :popcorn:

[Frank Cannon]

35. Yep. Jeb was the natural choice for the Bushes to run in 2000...

but his dysfunctional family baggage made it impossible. Jeb then had to stand by watching, helpless, as his party installed his drunken, mentally retarded brother into the office he coveted.

And now it's all gone to shit. Sorry, Jebbie. Blame your brother and act accordingly.

By the time George W. leaves office (in handcuffs or not), anyone with the last name of Bush in this country will have to change their name to something like Lipschitz or Kowalski. No one will dare be associated with that clan.

[Virginia Dare]

11. Just like his mama taught him...

when you don't have anything nice to say, say it anyway. Good boy, that Jebby the Hut.

[Parche]

12. jeb

I would rather be a horses a$$ then a ferret face..........

[partylessinOhio]

13. Is Jeb gay too? Yikes!

[kurth]

14. Republicans just "snap" in rebuttal. Democrats get "ANGRY" and have "TEMPER"

Typical media.

[TheBaldyMan]

15. 'a rare show of temper' like last time he appeared in public.

That brat has a bottom lip like a wash-hand basin, I've seen better adjusted toddlers.

[gratuitous]

16. Witnesses and other reporters present

And yet what are we reading about? Certainly not the governor of Florida and his potty mouth; no, we're treated to some low-level Democratic candidate calling (probably correctly) a reporter either a "hack" or a "whore," depending on who's telling the story. No witnesses to the hack/whore comment which is getting lots of play, plenty of witnesses to Jeb!'s profanity, and this is the first I've heard about it.

It is a puzzlement.

[TexasLawyer]

17. they're just good friends!

:rofl: :rofl: sheesh!!! :rofl: :rofl:

[seafan]

18. Poor Jeb's days in office, his *legacy* and his pResidential aspirations are moribund.

59 more days of Jeb Bush, people.

59 more days.

19. Now Jeb, if you are thinkin about presidentin like your bro and pa you

are going to have to learn to control that temper. Folks don't like that shit.

[chill_wind]

20. Hey, just "Shove it". Jeb.

Man, I remember when Theresa Heinz Kerry told one of the lackeys of one of Richard Mellon Scaife's RW rags (Pittsburgh Tribune?) to "shove it" during the late 04 campaign. You'd have thought she cursed The Pope and the Baby Jesus, both. It dominated the news for days!

Well how rude, Jeb.

[status quo buster]

21. Show more respect

for the next Bush president; you heard it first, maybe...

[BushOut06]

24. As much as I dislike Jeb, I don't see anything wrong with this

If the reporter really was being that rude, and cutting off another journalist like that, he deserved that.

[antonialee839]

25. Just another son of a Bab in action.

[underpants]

28. Be careful he busts open coconuts with that massive forehead

stay at least 3 feet back.

[elehhhhna]

29. Jeb's a bit tetchy since he was forced into that closet last month.

[Roy]

30. Good thing his name is Jeb Bush and not Howard Dean

Otherwise he would be forced to apologize for at least 3 days.

[redacted]

31. The pressure is getting to Jeb

[goforit]

32. ooooooo......are we a tough hard ass!!

[daleo]

33. At least Jeb didn't run off to a broom closet this time.

He saves that trick for unruly steel workers.

[bedazzled]

34. blockhead's got an anger management problem. runs in the family!

he must've seen the mailings the dems are sending out.

the ones with the flag draped coffins and bush in front
of the mission accomplished banner.

they've got little ammo to fight back with. thug
mailings are about "san francisco values" pelosi and
"welcome illegal amigos" tim mahoney. we've got
illegal wars, skyrocketing insurance, corruption,
failing schools, scandal. a full house!

[all.of.me]

36. sounds like he's talking to himself again.

these guys are the best at spewing about themselves and making it look like it's anyone but themselves. they are SO transparent!
