ANOTHER JEB SCANDAL?
More repub dirty tricks? I'm shocked...shocked!

An alert Bartcopper caught some alleged malfeeance during the McBride-Jebbie debate on Friday. Let's listen...

According to the intro to last Friday's debate, neither candidate knew of the questions ahead of time.

However, in the 4th question asked by Fran Gosselin, Gov. Bush makes a strange slip.

It's not word for word accurate, but it has him saying:
FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, WE'RE NOW SPENDING MONEY AT THE STATE LEVEL. $32 MILLION. NEVER BEFORE WAS MONEY SPENT FOR MACHINES AND FOR NEW TRAINING.

But what he really says is: "For the first time ever, for the first time ever, SYLVIA..."

Why is this important? This is Fran's question! A woman named Sylvia is the NEXT person to ask a question, one Sylvia Scott! Why would Bush have known her name if he didn't know the upcoming question in advance? Did he have a "script" for his answers that he bungled here? Is he playing fair?

The proof is online now. Compare the transcript with the archived video at CSPAN. It's here.

Sites that are running with it:

MWO

Eschaton

BC Forum (dedalus is the first to catch Jeb!'s foul).

DemoUnderground

Joe Conason

The transcript is available at: News4

Huge props to dedalus, and to all who alerted the media!! Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!
