the highlight of Jeb-buddy’s briefing?<\/a> A breakthrough in the case? Concrete plans about how DCF will be reformed, or explanations why he hasn’t yet done so? <\/p>\nFlorida Gov. Jeb Bush told a delegation of lawmakers that he had “some juicy details” about the sexual orientation of a missing Miami girl’s caretakers.
\nDuring a meeting Wednesday, Bush implied that the two women, who had just been charged with fraud stemming from the investigation into Rilya Wilson’s disappearance, were lesbians.
\n“As (Pamela Graham) was being arrested, she told her co-workers, ‘Tell my wife I’ve been arrested.’ The wife is the grandmother, and the aunt is the husband,” Bush explained, using his fingers to indicate quotation marks to emphasize the word “grandmother.”
\n“Bet you don’t get that in Pensacola,” Bush told his guests, a group of lawmakers from Florida’s Panhandle. <\/p>\n
Well, give him some credit — he thought it was a closed briefing, not realizing there was a reporter in the room. After all, saying something like that in public would have been … well, rude<\/i>, right?<\/p>\n
