Is He A Jeb Come Lately

Florida Democrats are crying foul over what they see as the governor’s opportunistic “Jeb-come-lately” role. “When we could have used the wisdom of such a great leader, he had nothing to say,” complained one. “Now that it’s over, he’s found the courage to criticize.” In March, Bush raised eyebrows by refusing state law- enforcement assistance if the Feds moved to grab Elian. But he was largely AWOL, Dems say, to protect himself and his brother, George W. A Jeb Bush spokeswoman said the governor, since December, has “continuously reiterated that the issue should be handled by experts in state family court.”
