Grand Old Police Blotter: Vito Corleone In Florida Edition

Tom Spenser links to this report on Noelle Bush's failure to comply fully with the terms of her drug rehabilitation sentence. What I want to know is who is responsible for the headline "Judge Gives Warning to Jeb Bush's Girl." The woman in question is 25. Either Newsday or A.P. has some explaining to do.

Tom also points to a much larger scandal, which involves Jeb! awarding $7.5 million in state contracts to a company owned by campaign contributor, Infinity Software Development, without competitive bidding. The company employs Noelle Bush.

I don't have a link, but I recently saw Jeb! on the idiot box joking that the Florida Legislature calls him "Veto Corleone" because of his use of the governor's veto power. Yeah, that's the reason.
