Doesn't Jeb Bush have work to do since you know he is the governor and all? Does he have a reelection coming up soon that he has to sit around and play up every issue of the month?

Ah Gawd! Jeb Bush is as big an idiot as his brother in the white house if not worse. I swear! We ALL know now that the husband was right and her family was wrong. She was dead.. only her organs were still working because of medical intervention. Even the cop who responded to the call said that he never suspect the husband of anything. I can't fucking believe these morons.

allowing someone to die of thirst, accompanied by the stomach-knotting pain of starvation, is just dandy.

(not sure if it's really on-topic... hehe)

Uhh hello, have you read the autopsy yet? She felt none of it. She was brain dead!

But that is not the point of his inquiry is it. He's trying to get negative press on the husband by asking pointless questions. If there is a point to this someone please tell me.

You ought to find it a little suspicious that he didn't call for emergency assistance until well over an hour after she collapsed.

Besides, I wasn't aware you could survive 40+ minutes without oxygen which is what Captain I-dont-have-anything-better-to-do-as-Florida-governor is trying to claim

He mixed up the times. His wife just collapsed I don't think his immediate attention was based on a clock.

I dunno, if I found my wife collapsed, the first thing in my mind would NOT be to memorize the exact time that I found her, or the time I called 911.

Hell, I'd be all in a panic, try to find what was wrong, and when she doesn't respond call 911. I wouldn't even be looking at a clock, watch, or other device with the time.

Same here, which is why I never thought much of the fact that according to the court transcripts during his malpractice suit, when asked what time he called 911, he said that he didn't call 911, he called his brother-in-law who lived in the same building at the time. He said his brother in law called 911.
Now this article is quoting him as saying he ran to call 911. I must be missing something or their quote is really bad.

Very true. Still, I wonder why he's trying to push so hard for the husband's conviction well after the political debate is over; and after the vast majority of the public came out against him using his executive power in this way (I mean his STATE-level executive power).

He's either continuing to pander to a very small core of influentials, or he's simply making a big mistake dragging his own name through the mud like this in some strange attempt to harm the Husband. Either way it seems like bad politics.
