Exclusive Pic! Jeb Bush trapped in the Closet!

By now most of you have heard how when Gov. Jeb Bush (R-FL) came to town Friday for a fundraiser at the Duquesne Club for Lil Ricky Santorum (R-VA), he got a real Pittsburgh welcome in the form of United Steelworkers and members of Uprise Counter Recruitment telling him to "Go home!"

Jebby blew them a kiss and about 30 to 50 of the protesters started following him so he tried to beat a hasty retreat to the T-station and according to the Post-Gazette "scurried to the escalators and descended to the mezzanine level."

"By now, Mr. Bush was cornered. He was surrounded by signs that said 'Pittsburgh is a Santorum Free Zone,' 'Honk if you're sick of Rick'" and a crowd growing increasingly louder...."

Pittsburgh Port Authority police told the crowd to disperse and then tasered two of the protesters.

"As a precaution, the governor was ushered into a T-station supply closet and stayed there until the crowd left."

According to the P-G, no one was arrested and no citations were issued which is quite odd considering that stun guns were used.

Now, of course everyone is asking for footage of the event which apparently lasted all of five minutes or so.

Once again, at great expense (and possible risk to the lives of the owners of this blog), 2 Political Junkies has managed to obtain an exclusive picture of Jeb Bush hiding out with the mops and brooms:



Who knew that R. Kelly was even there?


UPDATE: An actual photograph of Jebby being led into the closet can be seen here. (Not another joke.)
