I know a WINNER when I see one!

[Miles Archer]

This isn't one.

[First Speaker]

1. I almost feel a little sorry for him...

...his heart just wasn't in this business. I think he felt a sense of family obligation...and he ended up humiliated. I don't like seeing anyone humiliated, even members of the Bush family...

[Warren DeMontague]

8. I know. I never thought I'd see the day.

But i actually feel kind of bad for the guy.

He tried to run a relatively sane campaign, aside from silliness like his gun tweet. Odd that he would be one of the less offensive ones.

[CTyankee]

13. well, he could have thought it through a bit more and realized how tough it would be.

I'm not jumping on the guy...I feel sorry for him, but he shoulda known what a lot of people feel about having another Bush in the White HOuse...plus he doesn't have fire in his belly...more like a cozy fireplace...

[First Speaker]

16. Maybe his CT roots were showing thru...

...we are the land of steady habits, after all...a "cozy fireplace" actually sounds comforting to an old Yankee like me...

[Metric System]

2. I think he may be out after tonight.

[malaise]

3. JebusEnoughfuggingBushes!!

That is all

[Miles Archer]

4. You can bet your bottom dollar...

...that at some point, Jeb's son Prescott is going to be trotted out.



My guess is that after Jeb's humiliation and Commander Codpiece firin' blanks in South Carolina, it will probably be at least a couple of election cycles before another Bush is groomed for "success"...but this will be the Bush, when the time comes.

Unless they go for Neil.

PLEASE go for Neil.

[malaise]

5. We'll have something to deal with that too

Fugg 'em all!

[milestogo]

7. If they were grooming the kid for success, why did they name him Prescott?

Prescott Bush was the grandfather of all things corrupt.

[Warren DeMontague]

9. Maybe, or maybe the American people have decided that political dynasties arent such a great idea

...

[Stallion]

11. He's Already Texas Land Commissioner

[craigmatic]

6. jeb bush looks like the goddamn grinch.

[world wide wally]

10. In all honesty, in spite of Jeb being leftovers of the bottom of the barrel, he wasn't bad...

RELATIVELY SPEAKING, of course

[hifiguy]

12. Please clap.....

[qwlauren35]

14. Cracked me up.

A good belly rolling chuckle.

[HipChick]

15. Awww...

[Liberal_in_LA]

17. Poor Jeb

[mercuryblues]

18. I would rather a

humiliated boosh than more dead soldiers. Not one ounce of sympathy for any fucking one of them. Not after the shit they put this country through.
Katrina
9/11
economy crash
with us or against us.
March 2001 closing the White House Office for Women's Initiatives
Mission accomplished
who cares about bin Laden

and much more

I am fucking ecstatic he was humiliated. Because no matter how much he feels humiliated it pales in comparison to what that death knell of a family has inflicted on us. I hope he get humiliated more. I hope he gets a speeding ticket on his way to the airport to board his private jet. Then I hope they gets a flat tire. I want that family destitute.

[malaise]

20. +1,000

Good riddance

19. Reporters following jeb's campaign feel pity for him. Voters give him advice

Reporters following Jeb Bush's campaign say that although they might not support him, there’s a level of personal sympathy for the former Florida governor.
Bush's media corps feels his pain
As the ex-front runner struggles, he gets sympathy from an unusual quarter — reporters covering his campaign.


At a recent campaign Jeb Bush event in South Carolina, three voters in a row who were supposed to be asking him questions instead started giving the gentle-spirited candidate, who once pledged to run a “joyful” campaign, advice on how to be sharper.

It felt more like an intervention than a town hall. Reporters sitting at a table reserved for the press recalled making rueful eye contact with each other, with the unsaid sentiment, “Poor Jeb.”


Bush has had the media’s pity for months now. Reporters following the Bush campaign insist that it’s not that they support him or are rooting for him at all. But there’s a level of personal sympathy for the former Florida governor, for the man who was supposed to be the front runner but hasn’t been close to the top in months.

One correspondent for a major television network opined in New Hampshire that Bush was supposed to be “the” candidate, the one with the pedigree, experience, and money to go the distance.
