MIAMI (AP) - A Democratic Florida congressman on Friday compared Gov. Jeb Bush's behavior after the contentious 2000 presidential recount to that of Osama bin Laden, saying the governor went into hiding.

Rep. Kendrick Meek, in a conference call designed to discuss President Bush's record on issues key to black voters, said there was a "lack of accountability from the state of Florida" during the disputed recount process.

"No one could find him when they had issues as it relates to so many African-American votes that were left on the floor in many supervisor of elections offices throughout the state," said Meek, the Florida chairman for the Kerry-Edwards presidential campaign.

"The governor was like bin Laden after the 2000 election."

Alia Faraj, a spokeswoman for Gov. Bush, replied: "We are not even going to dignify the comment with a response."

2. R U Suprised

This is an administration that only replies when it absolutely necessarily has to. They will pretend to be concerned with minutia from the regular people only as a final resort.

3. He's a terrific Congressman. I've seen him a lot on C-Span

and he does NOT hesitate to speak right out and hack off Republicans. It's a thing of beauty.

I hope he'll have a long and HEALTHY (no plane accidents, no assassinations) career in the House of Representative and whatever else he tries.

5. Did you see Meeks during the torture hearings

he had the kind of guts that I haven't seen in a congresscritter in a long time.

I hope he has a long, bright future ahead of him.

6. His Mom Carrie Meeks was also a truth-telling honest Congresswoman from Fl

Kendrick Meeks' mom, Former (D) Representative Carrie Meeks is a truth telling woman who stood up to the Clinton Impeachment crowd and told them from the well of the House "...God is Mercy and God's Mercy will prevail". Hail to Kendrick and Carrie Meeks.:toast:

7. yes

unfortunately, Republicans in Miami are trying to ruin Carrie Meek and her legacy by claiming she made an endorsement for a local race after being paid off.

Do these repulicans stop at anything? They would be sending their standard bearer JESUS to the cross all over again if they had to, to keep power!:mad:

Jeb Bush has no time for such nonsense. His main concern is ruling the world. (See PNAC principles)
