Baker: Jeb would be good for the country
ST. PETERSBURG -- Mayor Rick Baker said he is excited about the prospect of Jeb Bush running for U.S Senate.
"It would be good for the country," he said, adding that Bush would likely become the voice of the nation's conservative movement if elected.

"Good for the country?" What the h*ll has he been smoking? He's obviously not feeling the effects of GOP/Jeb! rule like the rest of us.

"During his eight-year reign as governor of Florida, Jeb Bush fashioned an economic time bomb. On his way out the door he lit the fuse. His handiwork will soon devastate this state and visit unprecedented suffering on its people. It will be a nightmare, part of which will imperil the public schools, the operation of local governments and the state retirement system."

Remember, he just was in New York parading around head and shoulders above everyne else just to be seen.
And when you really think about it, he just might be right, if Jeb is the only alternative to Sarah "I was so planning for a D.C. wedding, sigh" Palin.

jeebus, baker --- you DO realize that the only one listening to you is charlie crist?? And that won't last forever.

If you stood six feet tall before you made this comment you are not two foot eleven.

Don't forget that Baker and his mini-me clones on the City Council are all in favor of stealing Tierra Verde's land so some developers can get around the development rules TV had. Baker and Bush are, to coin a phrase, thick as thieves.
