President Bush took a brief moment on his way to tomorrow night's debate in Miami (alright, Mustang Bobby, Coral Gables!) to visit a citrus grove outside Lake Wales with brother Jeb! and congressional lapdog Adam Putnam.

This was strictly a visit for the agricultrual sector, of which Putnam is closely tied. He has family ties to citrus/cattle baron Ben Hill Griffin (for which the stadium at the University of Florida is named), and also to fellow Member of Congress and former Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris (remember HER?).

According to Tampa's WFTS-TV 28, Bush did not make time as he did in previous post hurricane visits to meet with the "common folk", the victims and families who are still suffering from lack of basic necessaties --- water, power, and a roof.
