Yeah, chronic drug and alcohol abuse plays havoc with memory. I guess heā€™s not so different from his brother, after all.

The Bushes are the consummate power hungry megalomaniacs and inept incompetents par excellence. Unfortunately, in their greed for power, money and control, they wallow in their incompetence. Together the two Bush presidencies have created trillion dollar deficits, cost over 5000 American lives to enrich oil companies and defense contractors, destroyed over 40 million American jobs. The older Bush funded the Taliban and al Qaeda and the dumber Bush believed al Qaeda was in Iraq. The Bushes have benefited enormously from the Saudi royalty. I thought that Jeb Bush was going to be anointed the crown prince runner-up after King Abdullah died Of course, Donald Trump would cover the rights to that anointed coronation.

The hash and the alcohol are not a huge issue. The bullyng he canā€™t ā€œpossibly rememberā€ is a different story, even his idiot brother wasnā€™t a bully.

So, we learn that Jebā€™s the kind of kid who rips the tails off lizards. Iā€™m willing to excuse that to a certain extent in an outdoor cat, although with the caveat that Iā€™d probably lean towards making that cat an indoor cat. However, the only way you can turn an outdoor politician into an indoor one is by not electing them.

No more Bushes!

Two things for my Democratic friends. One, just my opinion. Cannabis use was not uncommon in the Sixties. Duh. Two, we should be more interested in his present political ideas. Three, Someone is going to be the Republican nominee, and our job is to come up with a better candidate than they do. But it does no good to insist that whoever is mentioned is not appropriate, because thatā€™s how it works, they have a candidate and we have a candidate, the two party system.

Hash-smoking, in the late 60ā€™s? The hell you say?

And he was a practical joker, to boot? (todayā€™s ā€œbullyā€)

Come on, folks. We can find better stuff to hang around his neck than this.

Actually Jeb grew up. W Bush was still a bully on 9/12/2001, when he cornered Richard Clarke in a closet and told him ā€œIraq did this, right?ā€. When Clarke said ā€œnoā€ Bush continued to try to bully him.

Jeb actually seems much more mature than his brother. Maybe because he smoked hash, while W was into the blow and booze.

IF we have a republican President, and I in no way want one, Jeb is a much better alternative to people like Chris Christie, Scott Walker, etc.

The only people who donā€™t remember if they ever bullied anyone are habitual bullies.

Indeed, and Iā€™m glad.

Because if this had been rolled this out in 2016, it would look like Amateur Hour to the extreme.

This will be forgotten, and gladly so. Bring on the truly damaging revelations.
