TRIANGULATING WITH JEB, DUBYA, AND KATHERINE Forget about JFK, RFK, and Marilyn, the new hot story that's now at the rumor stage is Jeb, Dubya, and Katherine. One Tallahassee titillator, however, seems to be saying that Jeb is just the beard and is looking to hotel records for proof. "Jack McCarthy, a Friend of of CounterPunch, resident in Tallahassee, and erstwhile political columnist for the now defunct Florida Flambeau sends CounterPunch this bulletin from Ground Zero, concerning the rumor, now being intensely probed by some newspapers and news weeklies, of intimacies between Governor Jeb Bush and Secretary of State Katherine Harris," write the editors of CounterPunch. McCarthy reported, ""I ran the [Jeb 'n Katherine] rumor by one well-connected capitol politico in Tallahassee, and asked him if he'd heard of the rumor. He said it's true that there's a congruence between Harris and the Bush family, but that it's W and Harris who for years have been trysting at National Governors' conferences. He believed that some Florida reporters have been comparing Harris' infamous travel schedule with W's. It seems the most promising lead was last year's National Governors' meeting in New Orleans, but they weren't able to nail down the hotel." Here they are, not even in the White House yet, and the Bush family is already in competition with the Kennedy's for the title of randiest presidential families, what with Pea Bush's troubles with the cops over his behavior at his girlfriend's house, John Bush's shocking episode in a parking lot mall (see below), and Jenna's troubles as reported below. Now let's get this straight, this behavior comes from the family that said it would bring dignity to the White House? --Politex, 1/11/01
