More Jeb presidential speculation
Newsweek runs a short piece on the Jeb's decision to seek an investigation of Michael Schiavo. It says Jeb's people were surprised by the decision and speculates that this may point to a presidential run.
What's notable is that it has only one named source -- Mac "the knife" Stipanovich. The other sources are:
(1) "one political adviser who was surprised by Bush's intervention and who asked not to be named to avoid appearing disloyal"
(2) "another who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject"
(3) "one of the confidants"
(4) "Another, who declined to be named so as not to jeopardize his relationship with Bush."
Or just a couple guys who were instructed to talk up their boss' run for president. And what are they saying that warrants such protection of their identities? That their boss is acting on deep moral principal and not political calculation.
No wonder they want to be anonymous. Nobody likes to be laughed at.

This is going to backfire on him badly when it turns out the whole thing is unfounded. Hopefully it will kill his chances once and for all.
