George W. isn't the only Bush fils who will only speak to friendly audiences:

The Florida Republican Party on Saturday called security to eject reporters listening to Gov. Jeb Bush tout his party's accomplishments in Tallahassee.

The unusual scene - five hotel security staffers and a sheriff's deputy escorting reporters away from where they could hear the governor - occurred in the middle of a speech in which Bush exhorted party activists to spread the word of Republican successes in Florida.

"I apologize for that if I'm indirectly responsible, which I'm not," Bush said after addressing Republican activists gathered at Disney for a party meeting. "I would have loved to have you in there. . . . I wouldn't have said anything different if you were there."

State Republican chairwoman Carole Jean Jordan declined to comment, and the party's executive director explained that party leaders merely wanted to keep their party functions private.

"We wanted to be able to have a private meeting where folks were not worried about being on the record," said executive director Andy Palmer.


Hmmmm....let's go down the checklist, shall we?

  • Security thugs forceably ejecting reporters? Check.
  • Fearless Leader saying he's not responsible? Check.
  • Fearless Leader wanting his words to be off the record? Check.

And they say Jeb isn't running in 2008....
