FORMER STATE GOP CHAIR TELLS US WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW!

Tampa Tribune political columnist William March tells us this morning that former state Republican chairman Tom Slade (1993-1999) has some interesting comments about the Bush Brothers and other GOPers.

In an interview done in January with a USF political science professor who is writing a book on the history of the Florida Republican Party, Slade said that Jeb! "does not have the maturity...and wisdom" to be president, and that his administration has been marked by a "dictatorial" style and reluctant to accept advice. He also said that both the governor and President Bush are "arrogant as hell".
