Okay, okay: once again, every other media outlet missed something. As juicily ironic it was to hear someone related to George Bush talking about how the size of government should be reduced, that's not the story here.
In arguably the most interesting moment of the evening [missed by the GW Hatchet report], Bush nigh endorsed underdog Florida Senate candidate Marco Rubio.
If you're completely oblivious to the situation, Marco is the more conservative, younger, more charismatic candidate in the 2010 race. Not to mention he doesn't have one of those fake orange tans like moderate, Obama-loving Charlie Crist.
I saw Rubio speak here at GW last year - he was quite impressive and is a rising star in the conservative movement. He is a passionate, motivational and ideas-driven statesman who has already drawn interest as the conservative answer to Barack Obama.
So in response to a blunt question from Junior Moses Weisberg, "Will you endorse Marco Rubio?" Jeb responded "not yet."
Not YET. That's news. Jeb departed from his stated neutrality in the race, heaping praise on Rubio while deriding the NRSC's decision to endorse Charlie Crist, saying that their obsession with winning was purposeless.
Luckily for Marco Rubio, he doesn't need Jeb [yet] or the National Republican Senatorial Committee to destroy Crist in every straw poll so far and continue to gain support both in Florida and nationally.

Aww, cute. Boyfriend writes post praising the senator his girlfriend works for.
Um, I think you misinterpreted Bush's comment. I'm pretty sure the "not yet" was a reference to "not until he's the Republican nominee".
she works for thune, dipshit.
