Notes For Sunday, October 13, 2002
Daniel Ruth's hypothetical question for John Ellis Bush: ""McBride's class reduction size proposal is pure phooey . . . just another typical, tax-and-spend, left-wing, pinko, commie, liberal attack on peace-loving Americans . . . because he thought it up, while yours is a stroke of enlightened statesmanship because, well, you say so"?

According to national pundit Robert Novak, "[t]he endorsement by the Teamsters Wednesday of Democratic lawyer Bill McBride against the reelection of Republican Gov. Jeb Bush was a setback in the evolving political relationship between President Bush and Teamsters president James P. Hoffa." Read the story in the Manchester Union Leader. Jeb Bush had greater success with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters, and its Florida affilliates, which endorsed Bush the week before last. The Carpenters, which recently left the AFL-CIO, and the Teamsters, which rejoined the AFL-CIO several years ago, have been flirting with the Republican party since W took office.
