Jeb Bush: My Brother's 9/11 Response Was 'Awe-Inspiring'

[Stuart G]

Source: Talking Points Memo:

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) again praised his brother's actions following the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, describing President George W. Bush's leadership as "awe-inspiring."

"The case study of leadership is how George responded to 9/11, period, over and out," Jeb Bush told the audience at a Houston event for donors to Bush's campaign, according to The Hill. "And the idea that a candidate could think that they could make political hay to create a new … narrative on the reality on how he led is a joke."

During a conversation with his brother on stage, Jeb Bush applauded George W. Bush's efforts to unite the country.

"People were united. And people really got it that he had a heart for them," Bush said, according to The Hill. "At that time, as you know, kids were crying. All around people, children and grandchildren didn’t know what was going on."

Jeb is defending his brother's "leadership" as being "awe inspiring." And he qualified it by saying, "response to 9/11" as if that is all there was. Jeb thinks he can get away with that. Keeping it focused on a time directly after 9/11. The conversation that follows will be about the totality of his brother's leadership. If/when that conversation takes place, Jeb can take a long vacation from this job. No one in the puke party wants that conversation about the totality of that person's leadership.

I got to add something else. I thought for a moment this was from "The Onion." Talking Points Memo usually has accurate stories. It is taken from "The Hill" I suppose that is accurate too. Maybe this is Jeb's swan song. I don't know. But this was what happened. Here is the link from "The Hill"
