Jeb, Y’all! He Ain’t Like Anyone Else.
Cross his heart and hope to die, Jeb Bush ain’t like the rest of his family.
I mean, he’s got the same friends and advisers. And sure, his advisers sound like an echo, not a voice. Of course he has the same views as his father and brother but he’s the taller of three so his views are … well, taller, that’s for sure.
He says he’s his own man. Well, except for having Paul Wolfowitz on his back and Porter Goss whispering in his ear. But, other than that, when he’s dining out, he almost always orders a different meal than his father and brother.
Of course he confuses Iran and Iraq just like his brother, but who doesn’t? And numbers, pffff … 20,000 is almost 200,000, right?
He admits there were “mistakes” in his brother’s war but he’s not quite sure what they are.
Jeb Bush: He’s His Own Bush.
Whoop-te-Do.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
Jeb has got him one of them durn furriners for a wife,don’t he? How’s that gonna play with the anti-immigrunts in his party?
1JJ probably one of your most succinct wraps to date. Wrap as in “boa.” If you supply enough pressure, perhaps he will be able to swallow himself.
2Dana Milbank nailed him this morning in the WaPo:

3How does he pronounce NUCLEAR? Nu-cu-lar like his bro?
4This guy is not ready for prime time, just like the rest of the Republican’ts.
If Jeb Bush hasn’t learned anything from the mistakes his dad and brother made then he’s dumber than a door knob. If the voters haven’t learned yet that the Bushes are toxic to the well-being of America and vote this guy into office, then the voters are dumber than worm poop.
5Good post,BarbinDC. Jennifer Rubin seems to think Jeb dazzled off script.
6Of course he’s a different Bush, just as poison oak is different from poison ivy. Though Dubya may have achieved hemlock status based on the number of people he got killed.
7Maybe Jeb and I both hate speaking in big crowds. The difference is, I’m not running for President and part of Jeb’s job would be to speak in public and to know what he’s talking about. Good grief. Thanks, BarbinDC.
8JEB should be all capitals. It’s his initials. John Ellis Bush. To call him “Jeb Bush” would be like calling him “John Ellis Bush Bush”, and although it appears that he’s as stupid as his older brother, he can’t be twice as stupid, can he?
9Oh. And Jeb might consider reading a variety of news sources while someone else is driving him around the country. Not that I actually want him to be president. Just saying.

No Thank You.
11@e platypus onion: I never read anything Jennifer Rubin writes. I have to watch my blood pressure these days. She tops the list of WaPo embarrassments followed by Krautie and George Effing Will.
12So, when it comes time for Jeb to vet the candidates for vice president, do you think Liz Cheney will be available? A winning combination for sure.
13Fool me once shame on you.
14Fool me twice shame on me.
Fool me a 3rd time and I’m too stupid to be trusted with any kind of thinking process!!!!
And he’s a rePUKEian besides. I will vote for a Nazis 1st, they are at least honest.
BarbinDC, I save time by not reading George Will. Since he wrote about climate change and made the scientists quoted sound as if they meant exactly the opposite of what they actually said, I know that Will is a liar and I can’t trust anything he says anyway, so why bother? Certainly not keen on Krauthammer or Rubin either, though I may skim them if I need a good snort.
15Yeah, they almost made a believer (ALMOST, ya hear?) about JEB (PETE!) until it was announced in the same news (!) story that he was signing on the same advisors as his brother. Way up here in Northern Virginia, it’s purdy hard to have a new foreign policy using the same script writers.

17W.C.-I saw a comment today some guy said he has to stop thinking wingnuts can’t get any dumber. He says they take that as a challenge. Right arm,brother!
18BarbinDC-I didn’t/don’t bother reading her drivel,either. I just saw the headline below the article you posted. 🙂 I can’t stand Kraut-hater,a vile,filled with hate peon as ever was. G Will sucks worse than his bow ties.
19BarbinDC – all I can say is “holy schnikes”, a phrase that is totally foreign to me but I found out that it means something I am familiar with: holy sh*t (sorry Mama). The urban dictionary comes in handy sometimes 🙂
JEB definitely has the Bushisms down pat – love “catalytic converter”. He will be great for giggles for the next little while, as long as he is not taken seriously and elected somehow. That would be a true tragedy for America. I doubt we could survive a third Bush as President.
20cain’t wait for the “JEB! not W” bumper sticker. I’ll put it right next to the all time classic political bumper sticker: “don’t blame me, I voted for bush”

21Yes, Presidents Bush and Cheney make “some” mistakes in Iraq, in the same sense that there is “some” water in the Atlantic.
22Three’s a crowd, even if its in sequential order. This just cannot work!
23And, just in time, here’s Charlie Pierce’s take on Ms. Rubin:

24No more Bushes in the WH. All bushes in proximity must be lawn shrubbery. I’d rather no more Clintons, either (sorry, JJ, but I’m honest), but would prefer Hillary to any of the Rs running for the job.
I fear that the R nominee will be Scott Walker, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Koch Industries, former head of ALEC, and the ruin of the once-great state of Wisconsin. I don’t think JEB has a chance. I don’t know how ANYONE can vote for someone who can’t pronounce nuclear. Kiefer Sutherland says noo-kew-lar, but he’s just an actor who played Jack Bauer.
