And I’m sure, like all of the Teabaggers he tries so desperately to suck the balls of, he is a huge teenage-girl-giggly-superfan of “Atlas Shrugged” (“Totes adorb, Ayn!”) although, like the vast majority of his semi-illiterate Teabagger gene-polluters, he has only read about 6 1/2 pages and relies upon synopses of the novel by such stellar intellectual heavyweights as Paul Ryan and Louis Gohmert.
And perhaps, like his grandfather Prescott Bush, he loves to lay back at night and enjoys reading a few chapters of “Mein Kampf” before he flitters off to la-la land.

… always wanting to surpass his brother George … Jeb proudly smiled and said “see, I read books with more than pictures…but I’m not sure why”

Well, to be fair, this was National Review. When in Rome, …, etc. Wait till you hear what he says to NPR before you decide whether he knows how to play an audience or not.

OK, so if anyone who injects race into a discussion is automatically THE REAL RACIST, doesn’t that make Jeb a racist by saying he’s a fan of a guy who writes books that explicitly examine the link between race and intelligence?

That will be a plus for him as far as his base is concerned. But if the dems or don’t educate the public who Charles Murray is how much will it matter.

Jeb Bush is about as moderate as his brother- he’s all for destroying the US so that he and his buddies can spark the revolution and get their heads on spikes.

Excellent point!!!

A large number of conservatives HAVE to subscribe to the theory of their innate superiority over brown people–otherwise, why they are on top could come into question.

Andrew Sullivan is a fan of Murray???

I thought Jeb was supposed to be the bright one of all the Bush brothers. Seriously, I don’t think this country can afford a third Bush Presidency.

This is an issue the mainstream media will ignore because it would go against their need to portray Jeb as a moderate. Which is definitely what they will do.

“I like Charles Murray books to be honest with you, which means I’m a total nerd I guess,”

I like Charles Murray books to be honest with you, which means I’m a total racist enabler I guess,

FIFY, Jebby…you just gave Captain Caveman a new club to bludgeon you with.

John Ellis’s interest lies in government funded private education, also known as charter schools, but he personally doesn’t care what they learn so long as public money pays for it. Floridians will know how badly he failed to support a charter school in Liberty City once it was up and running (primarily African American students), it opened in 1996 and closed in 2008, but his half assed effort looks good on a resume.

Regarding John Ellis’s alleged smarts, all will be revealed. He’s as stupid in his own way as the other one.
