His name is NOT Jeb Bush

[randys1]

His name is John Ellis Bush, and by calling him by his nickname, his good ole boy nickname, we are playing his game.

Nothing more than one of the "stupids" saying "I Like good ole Jeb"

But he aint Jeb, he is John Ellis, an elite, very wealthy NORTHERNER...

[Wellstone ruled]

1. Thanks for the InFo.

[bigwillq]

2. He's not a northerner

Do not associate the North with J.E.B.

[randys1]

5. I thought they were all born and raised in the North...sorry about that

[bigwillq]

6. I'm kind of just kidding.

I don't want us up in the North to have to take credit for him.

I believe JEB was born and raised in Texas but went to school up north.

[ND-Dem]

26. Easterners, imo.

[MADem]

30. He was a paradox at Phillips Andover Academy in Andover Massachusetts...

He was a pot smoking bully!


Now, from my perspective, I would say that's something he really had to WORK at...!

So don't be sorry--you're right.

9. He comes from a long line of carpet baggers.

And that might likely be the most complimentary thing I can think of to say about that family.

[ND-Dem]

28. ooh, even better. and correct, back to their roots.

[Motown_Johnny]

3. JEB = Just Enother Bush (sic but it is a Bush) n/t

[Chemisse]

4. I wondered why 'Jeb'. It reminds me of Beverly Hillbillies, and not in a flattering way.

Remember the vacuous character Jeb? The one with an IQ of 50ish?

He might do better to change to John Ellis.

[louis-t]

10. You're referring to Jethro.

And THAT is a great nickname for John E. Boosh.

[Motown_Johnny]

12. Jed Clampett was the smart one

[SoCalMusicLover]

7. It's The Last Name That's Scary

But since he probably doesn't like going by that name, I will try referring to him as John Ellis from now on.

[randys1]

8. If they can say "democrat politician" we can say John Ellis

[Contrary1]

11. This may be a good thing...

The nimrods won't be able to find "Jeb" on the ballot.

[Bluenorthwest]

13. He was born and raised in Texas, but his nickname does not strike me as 'good ole boy' but more

more in line with the class that calls people Poppy and Muffy and all that rot.

[MADem]

31. He went to private high school in Massachusetts. Boarding school, of course.

The family home is in Kennebunkport, Maine.

[Brother Buzz]

14. How will his name appear on the ballot?

[onenote]

16. Jeb Bush

At least, as i understand, that is how his name has appeared on the Florida ballot in his governor elections.

His name is as much Jeb Bush as James Earl Carter's name was Jimmy Carter. We would look pretty stupid playing games with Bush's name.

[bigwillq]

19. How did Carter's name appear on the ballot?

Carter was prez when I was born.

[onenote]

20. Jimmy Carter

He also used Jimmy when he was sworn in and signed official documents as Jimmy. He was the first (and thus far only) president to use his nickname as his "official" name.

[bigwillq]

21. Ok. Thanks.

I think it's fine if Jeb uses JEB. That's what he goes by, so I have no issue with it.

[Jim Lane]

22. And don't forget Thomas Wilson.

He didn't have a nickname but used his middle name, Woodrow, as his "official" name.

[ND-Dem]

29. James Carter

[onenote]

34. that's just how the white house bio site lists him

But he used Jimmy as his official name.

For example, here's his signature on the Middle East Peace accords:

And here's his name on a sample ballot for President:

[Tommy_Carcetti]

15. I like to refer to him as John E. Bush.

Makes him sound like an unsophisticated hayseed.

[rurallib]

17. Johnny Bush

American Idiot.

[madokie]

18. Pronounced SHIT around here

[Nye Bevan]

23. Also, it's not "Joe Biden". It's JOSEPH ROBINETTE BIDEN (nt)

[Drunken Irishman]

24. So, wait, he goes by JEB because of his initials?

So, really, Jeb Bush is John Ellis Bush Bush?

[Cha]

25. Just call him bush.. what's the difference?

[napkinz]

27. Jeb Bush Is FLUBYA

"Jeb Bush flubs new tech image, publishes constituents' private data"





The Rachel Maddow Show 02/11/15

Rachel Maddow reports on how Jeb Bush's effort to fashion an image of tech savviness suffered a setback when he appears to have forgotten to google the tech advisor he hired, and his new web site exposed private information sent to him in confidence.

[Caretha]

33. Oh hell

Another drunk President is all we need.

That pic says it all.

[aspirant]

32. Didn't we have a few chuckles

with "The Mitt Romney"

[stage left]

35. Hmm

I was wondering what kind of preppy ivy Leaguer gets his-self named Jebediah. They're really into schmoozing us southrons, ain't they?
signed---one hillbilly who ain't fooled.
