The Bush Freres seem to have a declaring “Mission Accomplished” problem.

[beattycat]

“Yes, because the expectations are so low,” Bush said, with a smile.

“Well, you have succeeded there, governor” Garrett quipped, to which, Bush thrusted his hands in the air like a champion.

“Mission accomplished!” Bush exclaimed.

Whoosh! Right over his own silver-gilded little head.

[feathered_head]

He knows he’s done. Gallows humor.

[redrasputinmn]

He’s good enough, he’s smart enough, and gosh-darn it, people like him!

[whiteb]

Not gonna happen Jeb!

[mattinpa]

It fails to work on so many levels.

[professorpoopypants]

Well, if his goal is to become a national laughingstock, “mission accomplished” indeed.

[jeffs]

He was gone last summer.

It continues to amaze me how so many supposedly savvy, well-connected people can be such utter fools.

Usually I try to make a pithy remark but there is no follow up for this.

If you’re very still, you can hear Jebs! donors gently sobbing into their wallets.

After the disgusting Terri Schiavo ad, his poll numbers will fall further. Like most of the GOP you are sadly out of touch with reality.

[enon]

He’s good enough, he’s smart enough, and gosh-darn it, people like him!

no, he isn’t; no, he isn’t; no, they don’t.

jesus h christ… this day has to go down as the lowest point ever in american politics. between the shitshow that is the trump event; and the idiocy displayed by bush and presumably what’s going on with the fox ‘debate’… it’s just got to be. if not, we are in such deep shit, that this country will not be able to dig itself out.

[bluestatedon]

I dunno… what I hear sounds like the sharpening of knives.

:You can’t say Dallas doesn’t love you,Mr. President"

JFK fans will get the reference - and it’s connection to Jeb’s response…

[darrtown]

To jeb it’s all just a game. Something the family does…like some play golf or tennis.

The derp shit storm hasn’t hit full throttle just yet. Think log geometric progression.

[epicurus]

Lest we forget, Jeb! is the “smart one.” Setting the bar high, I see…

[drzee]

And he’s supposed to be the smart Bush. Heckuva job, Jeb.

Jeb running an ad featuring Schiavo is akin to Hillary running a ad praising the impeachment of her husband.
