JQuery :: Using Text-Shadow To Blur Text Out To Be Unreadable

I'm trying to slowly blur text but I'm running into a problem where color: transparent text is applied before text-shadow. I need it to apply at the same time. If it isn't apparent by the example, I'm using text-shadow to blur the text out to be unreadable, I'm not trying to add a simple text shadow. I need this to a slow animation. I realize you can select the text and continue reading, but I'm not trying to block access to the text, I just need the blur effect.

Below is a full working version of my code.
<script src="[URL]"></script>
<script src="[URL]"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#blur01").click(function() {
$(this).animate({ backgroundColor: '#999999', textShadow: '0 0 15px #000', color: 'transparent' }, 2000); });
$("#blur02").click(function() {
$(this).addClass('blur', 2000);
});
$("#blur03").toggle(function() {
$(this).animate({ textShadow: "0 0 15px #000", color: "transparent", backgroundColor: "#999999"}, 2000);
},function() {
$(this).animate({ textShadow: "0 0 15px #F00", color: "transparent", backgroundColor: "#999999"}, 2000);});});
</script><style>
div {font-size:30px; margin:5px; padding:5px;}
.blur {text-shadow:0 0 15px #000; color:transparent; background:#999999;}
</style>
<div id="blur01">Text Blur 01 - click</div>
<div id="blur02">Text Blur 02 - click</div>
<div id="blur03">Text Blur 03 - toggle</div>
