Our Man In Tallahassee

Jeb's Skankanavian adventures have been discussed here before, but here's another indication of the mindset that qualifies him to be our go-to guy.

Business is business, after all.

Gov. Jeb Bush met with scientists last week to discuss the role of global warming on worsening hurricane activity. He remained moot on the controversial topic, but said he was intrigued and suggested Florida should host a "forum where there's airing out of these ideas."

That led a reporter to ask Bush if he planned on seeing former Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore's movie on global warming, "An Inconvenient Truth." "No, I'm not going to be doing that," he said, before offering a thumbnail review of "X-Men: The Last Stand," which he called "excellent."...

Imagine the sang-froid it takes for the governor of a hurricane state to publicly say -- not only that will he not see Gore's global warming jeremiad--but also admit in the same breath having gone to see some crappy escapist fare.

And that it was "excellent."

If it's between Jeb and Hillary in 2008, the smart money has to be on Our Man in Tallahassee.
