Please, I’m Begging You
Y’all, ya just gotta feel kinda bad for Jeb! nowadays.
I mean, he left Iowa limping and ain’t gotten any better.
He went on to New Hampshire and says our next President “should be a lot quieter” but insisted on talking anyway.
Most people wished he hadn’t. So, you know …
That was painful. It does, however, rank second to “Please stop throwing tomatoes,” which I suspect is what comes next.
Remind me again – which brother is the smart one?
Thanks to Ed for the heads up.
Almost feel sorry for the guy.
ALmost.
1Must be Neil, ’cause it sure ain’t W or !.
2Oh, that video was SAD!
3All the Bushes need to ride off quietly into the sunset, now, and stop embarrassing themselves.
4When I first heard this yesterday, my first thought was: How pathetic that he actually has to ask people to clap for him.
Sad and pathetic and he just isn’t smart enough to call it a day and go home to Florida. Cruz & Trump are sucking all the air out of everything as it is … none left for Jeb!?!
5I do hope Jeb?’s (lack of) showing helps the Bushes decide not to proffer another candidate for a generation or three. I don’t hate George P, I just wish he wasn’t Texas Land Commissioner and that he didn’t act like election as POTUS was a birthright.
6I chose not to watch this video and/or read about it in any news media. I just knew it would be a humiliation by the article headline I glanced over. For me, there comes a point where dignity is very important and it is something that I will not allow to be taken from me. I, therefore feel very sad when someone gives theirs up. That is all.
7Sad, sad, sad. It’s almost a whimper.
8It ought to be pretty clear that Americans don’t want any more Bushes in the White House. I can tell by those slumped shoulders that he has gotten the message.
9May this be the sputtering end of the whole political dynasty called Bush. Tie this pathetic man to his son’s political dreams and sink the whole family back into the mire from which they sprung.
10Jeb(?), meet the elderly white haired lady sleeping in the front row. That’s your mother, dumba$$. When she stated “no more Bushes in the White House,” you should have listened. But no, you just had to come back with that classic one-liner: “my brother kept us safe.” So, now that you have proven yourself not to be the ‘smarter’ Bush, return to Florida and hope the clap that you are given isn’t the penicillin resistant strain.
11Maybe Bush wouldn’t be a divisive President. He’d surround himself with cronies to do that for him, much as Dubya did.
If people clap, is Bush’s campaign revived from near death? You know, like Tinker Bell?
12Odd thing was, when he asked for applause, the audience promptly responded. And it didn’t sound like pity applause. I think if he’d just said “Thank you”, they would have clapped. But apparently he wasn’t done talking. It’s literally painful to watch.
How did this guy EVER get elected Governor of Florida? Did he ply the entire state with free margaritas?
13LynnN….there is not enough clapping in this world to revive his pitiful campaign. I am still stunned that this episode made me feel bad for him.
14That was pathetic. But what did he mean about wanting the next president to be “quieter”? Quieter than whom? I don’t think Obama is all that noisy. Quieter than some other people running for the job, oh yes.
15How about neither? Does ‘Neither’ work for you? It sure does for me.
16To Lunargent:
17I didn’t live in Florida when ! was governor here but I’m guessing he got the job similarly to the way W became President Select in 2000.
As I understand it … Mumsy Barb is coming to NH to stump for her boy, Jeb. That, too, is pretty pathetic. As if she is going to make people flock to Jeb and his numbers to rise! Simply grasping … grasping at straws blowing in the wind!!
18So the ! is finally courting the millennial vote. Yea buddy, old Babs clutching her pearls should attract us. Give her plenty of time to speak !. Her warmth has a certain glow, a nukular attraction of sorts, like when she said, “the Katrina victims have it so good.”
19Yep, Babs will be sure to warm up the audiences with her well-known compassion for the little people. Sheesh, Jeb!, just go home quietly…
20Jeb! Bush! isn’t just an embarrassment to his family, he’s becoming an embarrassment to the whole! damn! country!
I dunno about Texas, but if he’s not an embarrassment there, you’ll kindly understand, Susan, why it would be just fine by some of the rest of us if Texas went ahead and seceded. Gotta be something wrong with any state that wouldn’t be at least a little embarrassed to have to call him a native son. For being the “smart one,” it’s amazing that he’s so totally clueless about knowing when it’s time to call it a career and go back to the family ranch and spend the rest of his days chopping down mesquite and cleaning out the calving pens.
At least he and his family deserve each other. Babs has gotta be wondering by now why she gave him her blessing to run. Clearly in retrospect, her decision to say “yes” doesn’t appear to have been any wiser than his decision to go for it. In fact, I can’t help but wonder if, deep down inside, she’s privately kicking herself for having missed taking those little pink pills all month long, those many years ago.
21Bless his heart. I betcha they moanin’ about the drop in oil prices too.
22We all smell the desperation. Unfortunately being a Bush not only means a crucial lack of self-awareness, but an incompetent olfactory system.
