Jeb offended ... again
Palm Beach Post reporters are turned away from a Jeb interview.
Perhaps his office is taking a cue from the pecksniffian Jerry Regier who is refusing legitimate Legislative requests for information because a legislator used strong language with an aide (she said "hell" and made the not unreasonable observation that agency spokemen are, as is so often the case, lying again.)
Date "asked for specifics and they said 'You said a curse word back about three months ago.'
Wow, are the Jebbites easily offended or what? A reporter saying a bad word three months ago!
A more likely explanation:
The Post also said the governor's office is refusing to provide public records requested by the newspaper's reporters. In a letter mailed Dec. 5, attorney Martin Reeder said the office was breaking the law by not providing public records or imposing exorbitant fees to obtain them.
For something humorously sophomoric from a Republican operative, take a look at Sayfie Review which runs an unflattering photo of Date with the shocked observation -- hold on to your hats kiddos -- that the Palm Beach Post just wants to sell newspapers in a competitive media market!
Gee willikers -- pardon my language here -- I'm shocked. First reporters use unkind language during a special session and then newspapers just want to tell stories that would interest readers. What kind of hideous, sick world are we living in!
