Lame duck Bush plans to trash Florida

No, not George Bush, but Jeb Bush.  The lame duck Florida governor has abandoned his opposition to oil drilling off the coast of Florida (that opposition which helped him win election and re-election) and now supports the legislation by Rep. Pombo (R-CA) which opens the door for oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico.

Today, an article by John-Thor Dahlburg in the Los Angeles Times describes what is a gigantic FLIP-FLOP by Jeb Bush, probablt designed both to grease Jeb's way to a larger political stage and to innoculate Jeb against any political disease caused by high gas prices.

Here's a link to the article:

UPDATED: Be sure to read the second page of the article, by clicking on 2 at the bottom. I tried to link to the one-page printable version, but the LA Times site switches the URL to the main article.
