Jeb Bush hates people from San Francisco?

Wow, what a hateful little prick. Somehow it doesn't surprise me considering his last name...

Jeb Bush jokes people of San Francisco may be endangered

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Gov. Jeb Bush joked during a Florida Cabinet meeting that the people of San Francisco may be endangered and , "That's probably good news for the country."

The topic at hand was environmental land and at the time of his remark, Bush was looking at a map showing locations boasting a lot of different wildlife.

"It looks like the people of San Francisco are an endangered species, which may not be a bad thing," Bush said during the meeting Wednesday. "That's probably good news for the country."

People in the room broke into laughter

"Did I just say that out loud?" the governor asked.

San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown wasn't too worried by the comment, according to spokesman P.J. Johnston.

"When he finally stopped laughing, he said, 'I'm sure this is a tongue-in-cheek comment. I'd feel a little better if the governor would send me one of his alligators; I've got a supervisor that needs companionship,"' Johnston said.

Johnston also said he didn't think residents of San Francisco would be much disturbed by what the governor said.

"By and large San Franciscans have a good sense of humor and will not be dreadfully offended," Johnston said, adding that he wished people in politics would also "lighten up."

But the head of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force didn't see anything funny in the governor's comment and believed it to be anti-gay because of San Francisco's large gay population.

"It's extremely insulting," said Matt Foreman. "But of course I would say that gay people in Florida are far more endangered than gay people in California."

Bush told reporters he was just joking and added another quip: "Don't call Willie Brown."

Bush spokesman Jacob DiPietre later explained the governor's thinking: "The Cabinet was talking about endangered species and everyone knows that Republicans are an endangered species in California."

Bush has been amused by California before. In mid-August, the topic was Gary Coleman, the former child actor who jumped into the California gubernatorial recall race.

"I'm glad that Gary Coleman lives in California," Bush said. "A guy like me that believes in limited government probably would have a tough time against a fellow like that because he probably symbolizes smaller government."

Coleman took the comment in stride.

"I don't know about Jeb Bush," he said. "But if I become governor, I will represent the little guys, the people that big people tend to step on when they want to get somewhere."

Jeb Bush isn't taken seriously by anybody that is of sound mind.

Essentially he is no different than you, execpt for who he hates as opposed to who you hate.

"By and large San Franciscans have a good sense of humor and will not be dreadfully offended," Johnston said, adding that he wished people in politics would also "lighten up."

Fallen on deaf ears, eh DM?

You guys are so damn hypocritical it's not funny.
Liberals love to make all kinds of stupid jokes implying all conservatives and anybody from Texas is a gun-toting, pick-up driving, wife beating, redneck with an IQ of 3.
But one conservative makes a joke about the most far-left liberal city in the nation and it's "OMG, that is so hateful".
Jesus Fvcking Christ people, lighten up.

It wasn't an anti-gay joke. It was a very well-deserved anti-liberal joke.
Even most democrats would think some of the things the San Francisco politicians come up with is pretty far out there.
It's just like a lot of republicans thinking Pat Robertson is too extreme.

If you can dish it out, learn to take it.

Some people are just drama queens with nothing better to do than to wax indignant while wading in their own hypocrisy.

I think he was referring to DealMonkey.

Well having worked in Frisco I can say that it's a great place to visit but it would be a little strange to live in. But then I guess living in Motor City can be somewhat strange too

What are you jibber-jabbering about now, Corn? I don't "hate" anyone - you're just making baseless accusations as usual.

Just another low SNR thread started by YACS.

"Liberals love to make all kinds of stupid jokes implying all conservatives and anybody from Texas is a gun-toting, pick-up driving, wife beating, redneck with an IQ of 3."

Sorry - Dubya's the only one from Texas that I know that meets that description - and when did his IQ go up ?

But there are people in San Francisco that I hate separately - and equally.

Well, two things. I live in the Bay Area and I can tell you, we're not too fond of Jeb Bush either, as a rule.

Second, I've always loved the joke that says, "If God doesn't destroy San Francisco, he owes Sodom and Gamorah an apology." Having said that, I'd like to add that I'm glad I live here. Every social gathering is like a small meeting of the U.N.

I'm originally from the Bay Area. Don't confuse the Bay Area with Frisco though (BTW they hate it when you call it Frisco)

Why? because it rhymes with Crisco? :Q

God 'ill get you for that one Rjain.

Yeah, but in another thread, I mentioned you as one of the people I disagree with but who makes logical arguments and tries to back them with facts. So I wasn't including reasonable people like you in that one. I'm talking about the majority of liberals who try to feel superior by stereotyping all conservatives and ridiculing them. It is these people who love to make the jokes but get all pissed when a conservative does the same kind of thing. Note DealMonkey's original comments.

Bay Area can get real interesting:
Haight at 2:30 AM in the morning
Telegraph & Haste at Midnight
Lombard Street at 4 AM in the morning

Whitling, I'm going to declare you my favorite old guy liberal on this board

 

[Witling]

Capt'n, you've been sold a bill of goods. That ain't Telegraph and Haste at midnight. The merchants disappear long before then.

 

[CaptnKirk]

I smell dead people.

 

[Lucky]

"lighten up."

listen to him, dummy.

 

[Corn]

Correct.

No suprise there, but then again, I don't ever remember being wrong about anything.
