Reply #46: Jeb says "isolated cases of annoyance and inconvenience..."

...but his own Lieutenant Guv says heat fatalities are now occurring.


State and utility officials said more than 300,000 power customers remained without electricity Tuesday morning.

Assessing recovery efforts, Gov. Jeb Bush said Monday that "we've made really good progress." But he conceded the patience of some Floridians coping without roofs or electricity in 90-degree heat may be wearing thin.

"The great majority of people, I think, recognize that this is a work in progress, that there's improvements being made," Bush said. "There may be isolated cases of people that are annoyed by the inconvenience, and who can blame them."

Right now, state officials say their main concern is hydration. "We continue to have reports of fatalities now attributed to heat, stroke, (from) people working in this 95 to 100 degree heat in the afternoon trying to clean things up working on homes, things of that nature." said Lieutenant Governor Toni Jennings.

Uh, Jeb, d'ya think you could show a little more connection with reality? Maybe this is all just a minor annoyance/inconvenience for you, is that it?

Fury doesn't describe it any more.
