Jeb Bush Defends Charlie Crist's Sexuality

Florida TV reporter Steven Cooper will soon be alligator food.

Jebby was on the campaign trail with Crist on Friday when Cooper popped the Big Question, asking Bush if Crist's a queer. Jebby bared his fangs and snarled to the reporter, "Put a smile on your face and don't be such a horse's ass."

A few hours earlier in Tallahassee, a gay-rights guy held a press conference demanding that Charlie 'fess up about being a homosexual. And Crist looked like the horse's ass when he turned a question about gay-marriage restrictions into the lamest possible claim of being straight:

"Marriage is a relationship like my mother and father had, like I had before I got divorced.''

The 50-year-old "bachelor"wasvery briefly married to a woman ... in 1979.
