IT CERTAINLY DIDN'T TAKE JEB LONG TO RUN HIS MOUTH!

Governor Jeb! certainly didn't waste much time in piling on the Florida Democratic Party in the wake of it's current financial issues, calling the party organization "pathetic" and saying he was "saddened" by the decline of the opposition party.

Jeb! may be speaking too quickly.

New chairwoman and former congresswoman Karen Thurman has arranged for financial assistance from the national party office, as well as other means to resolve the roughly $200,000 lien placed on the state party by the Internal Revenue Service for failing to pay payroll and Social Security taxes withheld from employees' checks.

While there's not excuse for something like this --- and it very well could be a bookkeeping snafu and an office employee putting the wrong letter in the wrong place --- Jeb is in no place to be throwing garbage. Over his years in office, the gov has had more than his share of administrative lapses, and as the captain of the ship he needs to take responsibility. And to hear Jeb! say he is "saddened" is laughable at best. I'm sure he and some of his cronies enjoyed a drink or two or three Wednesday evening upon learning of the situation at Demo HQ.

This, too, shall pass.
