Jeb Bush

Forbes is paying attention to the old (but true) tale of Jeb Bush, Miguel Recarey, and Medicare fraud. I first saw mention of this nasty business in an article in Penthouse -- way, way back when. (I think it was Penthouse. I read that magazine for the articles, of course.) Now Forbes is having a go at it. (This comes to us by way of Larisa.)

Seems to me that the Powers That Be, or a faction thereof, have had quite enough of the Bush family, thank you very much.

The story of Jeb Bush, Miguel Recarey, and Medicare fraud is from a 1992 article of Mother Jones, not from a recent Forbes article as you state. So, they PTB aren't any more riled up over the Bush family's antics than they were 15 years ago...

Does any online "journalist" check facts beyond the last post they read?

joseph,

the correct link for the Larisa post is:

http://www.atlargely.com/2007/12/keeping-the-fra.html

and also when I was in the grocery store yesterday I couldn't believe that one of the national tabloids, National Examiner owned by American Media Inc, had a cover of Bush with the headline of something like, "Bush falls down after drinking binge". Apparently there is no website listed on the parent company website for National Examiner.

I think the post from Larisa A. references two different articles. The part about Recarey is from an earlier Mother Jones article.

I dunno about the PTB turning against Jebbie. It's a nice thought, though.

Cannonfire, I don't know if you caught it some months back , but Bush has been diagnosed with Lyme Disease. Look up Lyme Disease and understand Americans cannot get treated for this illness, caused by a spirochete. ( Remember Tuskegee?? Syphilis was a spirochete- it's a shape of bacteria).
If you google Homeland Security, Bush, Lyme and bioweapons, you'll get an idea that somehow all of these are connected.
Now add in Medicare.... and understand NO treating Lyme physicians take Medicare. They all were forced to opt out.
I feel sure there is a huge connection to all of this.......
