This just confirms what I have long known anyway: There is no such thing as a smarter Bush brother.

“If we are going to get into hypotheticals, I think it does a lot of disservice for a lot of people who sacrificed a lot,” Bush told the voter, according Chalian.

“My brother, for example!”, Jeb continued.

I can’t believe Cheney hasn’t come to his aid.

Cheney did go into Iraq knowing what we know now!

Jeb’s lying brother sent my only child to die in Iraq.

I have no more children to sacrifice at the altar of the Bush family.

A vote for Jeb is a vote for war with Iran.

CENSORED You, Jeb!

I remember that Miss Teen South Carolina, Lauren Caitlin Upton, also initially completely messed up a question that involved Iraq. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj3iNxZ8Dww

However, unlike Jebya Bush she was honest and admitted that she was overwhelmed and did not properly understand questions and the issues involved. She did a great job of answering the question the following day on the Today show.

Jebya Bush has not answered the question and its nearly a week.

I am so sorry for your loss. That is awful. Thank you and your family for its sacrifice.

Have you looked at his list of foreign policy advisors? What do you expect from the architects of the Iraq war? None of them will ever admit they or their fact free ideology screwed up.

There are a number of questions any politician on the national stage knows full well will be coming. There are numerous reasons not to vote for Jeb or any Bush for that matter but not having a focus-group tested answer for this one on his lips at all times alone disqualifies him from this race.

Jeb is acting more demented than his sick, aging father. I suppose he’s always been this way. It was only because his Idiot Brother was causing so much chaos and harm in the world that nobody noticed?

One can only guess that Jeb’s advisers are as stupid as he is.

Odd that he’s the only one who is flip flopping on where he stands when he was one of the architects of the Iraqi invasion policy…singed the letter demanding that Bill Clinton must do it. Rubio would be proud to pull it out and wave it around as proof that he’s a foreign policy giant.

Jeb doesn’t have the nerve to confront his own past much less any problem confronting the world.

Jeb. Taller but not smarter. Dumb and dumber. So much for the more moderate Republican. The scary part, though, is that one of these clowns is going to get nominated. And really. Could that question have been any clearer? It is important for a President to understand the question, especially when handling nuclear materials.

Here’s a hypothetical. “If you were in office, shouldn’t we be very, very frightened?”

I am a Viet Nam era veteran. However, I think I pretty much figured out for myself how fucked up that war was all by myself decades ago. It is insulting to the Iraqi veteran to refrain from announcing how fucked up the Iraq war was. As if he can’t figure that out by his itty bitty self.
