LOL: Jeb Bush Brings a Crab to a Frog Metaphor

[kpete]

Then, Mr. Bush went for the frog metaphor. And that’s where the problem for him began.

“It’s like the crabs in the, you know, whatever —the crabs in the boiling water,” Mr. Bush tried.

“Frogs,” an audience member shouted out, helpfully.

“The frogs,” Mr. Bush continued. “You think it’s warm, and it feels pretty good and then it feels like you’re in a whirlpool—you know, a Jacuzzi or something.”

He concluded with a morbid twist: “And then you’re dead. That’s how this works.”



something about the apple not falling far from the bush???

Got to laugh all over again when I read that Bush was actually talking about students, apparently a bunch of dead ones.

4. Well it's hard to find a good frog store in Kennebunktport

Clams for the bake? Sure. Crabs, lobsters? No problem. Jeb saw the help go get those plenty of times.

6. He could hardly use frog as an example. Didn't Georgie used to put firecrackers in

their mouths and blow them up?

9. OMG

He keeps proving he is not the smart one. I don't think I can take another Bush, especially not the "smart" one.

How does something like this pass on? It must be common in that family to mix things up in that particular way.

Jesus Christ on a jumping jack.....pogo stick?

First you are jumping around then you pop out of a box and scare folks. Yes, that is how it goes.

13. It's kind of like

Bringing a horse to water, but you can't make him make a silk purse out of a pig in a poke without the whole nine yards because it costs an arm and a leg.

Were the Bush boys dropped on their heads when they were children?
