Thnx, Katherine. John Ellis Bush needs to be memorialized and your comprehensive yet poignant paean to the man that is Jeb. is the best kind of journalism. I kinda feel sorry for him, in a way - $3,000. a vote, Iām just saying, he would have done better to slip a grand a piece into the pocket for every swing voter he may embrace and do far better.
I know I would have said I would vote for him if he gave me a thousand bucks~and let my conscious live with me as I pay another monthās rent.
Will Mom clap for him tonight? (and if she doesnāt, will he give up?)
Someone, a confident or close family friend needs to take Jeb aside and give him the hard truth, Too soon Jeb, too soon. I almost feel sorry for the guy, his big brother so ruined the Bush brand Jeb would be lucky to get a job in the Florida statehouse.
But then we wouldnāt have seen Jeb declare heās his own man, only to watch every failed foreign policy hack his brother Shrub hired standing behind Jebā¦ Even republicans must have passed a gallstone over that moment of facepalm.
Pack your bags Jeb, go home, it aināt happening.
It was when he spit shined his brothers boots.
Two things
Slight though
If JEB was running the campaign that he had envisioned, then Trump would be complaining over reports that he has a Mexican love child.
Second
Itās somewhat amazing that the Supergirl moment didnāt make this list.
Forgot
How come the Lego movie slogan moment didnāt make the list?
Jeb Bush = puh - thet - ick. And cannot escape it.
John Ellis Bush = The sound of one hand clapping.
āPlease, if you believe in fairies (err, fairy tales), clap!ā
This is clicheā but honestly, when you look up Derp in the dictionary, there is a picture of Jeb! the idiot alongside the definition.
Some of these clips are almost Romney-awkward.
Jeb!
He was sunk from the moment Trump called him ālow energyā and he had no sharp reply. And with all his money and consultants, he still canāt change his personality. Heās just a mellow, entitled, country club Republican who just canāt break with his entitled family and who has no real reason to run for president.
I suggest he turn this weakness into a strength with a career change and go into stand up comedy. Kind of the entitled Republican Rodney Dangerfield.
Thing is, leaders make you hope. We can survive, they tell you, we can thrive, we can even live our lives with a bit of dignity and meaning. Jeb takes all that away. His entire public life is a testament to his conviction that you have to crawl, that there is no dignity possible. Heās like a noir film where everyone dies and sordidness triumphs except heās trying to be all jolly and preppie-upbeat too on top of it. Itās grotesque and repellent.
One canāt help wondering if Jeb the Single Guy ever got laidā¦
Haha! Poor Jeb!!!
On Rachel Maddow last night, she showed more scenes from the āPlease clapā event. Twice the lights inexplicably dimmed down to darkness, and the second time he was all, āGee wizz. Again? Someone is playing with the lights? Come on now.ā Haha.
Jeb!'s nosedive is just amazing - he got the entire Bush Famiglia karma dumped on him. They should have stopped him before he started and I do wish he would stop - itās downright painful.
They say people donāt vote for candidates who they donāt want to see on tv constantly for four years. I think Jebās doofusness fits that category. Itās interesting in small doses, but you really donāt want to see your President act that way on the world stage.
ā[Jeb!?] is now campaigning like a man with nothing left to lose.ā
Columba (answering the front door): āItās a āMr. Deathā, dear. Heās here about the āreapingā?ā
his mama already told him, and us, that America had had enough of the Bush family
perhaps Jeb! should have listened to the old goatā¦
