Jeb Bush is as crazy as his brother George
For Jeb Bush, Life Defending the Family Name
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/23/us/politics/23bai.html?ref=politics
<snip>
For months now, Jeb Bush has been listening as President Obama blasts his older brother’s administration for the battered economy, budget deficits and even the lax oversight of oil wells.

“It’s kind of like a kid coming to school saying, ‘The dog ate my homework,’ ” Mr. Bush, this state’s former governor, said over lunch last week at the Biltmore Hotel. “It’s childish. This is what children do until they mature. They don’t accept responsibility.”

In fact, instead of constantly bashing the 43rd president, Mr. Bush offered, perhaps Mr. Obama could learn something from him, especially when it comes to ignoring the Washington chatter. “This would break his heart, to get advice that applies some of the lessons of leadership my brother learned, because he apparently likes to act like he’s still campaigning, and he likes to blame George’s administration for everything,” Mr. Bush said, dangling a ketchup-soaked French fry. “But he really seems like he’s getting caught up in what people are writing about him.”

“By and large, I think the president, instead of being a 21st-century leader, is Hubert Humphrey on steroids,” Mr. Bush said. “I don’t think there’s much newness in spending more money as the solution to every problem.”

Fuck you Jeb - your brother fucked up the planet every which way.

2. I guess Jeb boy over looked the part of thos 8 years where his brother and the rest of the wing nuts
blamed Clinton for everything their policies screwed up. Projection the only defense the mindless 1 brain cell wingers understand.

9. The "ketchup-soaked french fry" was smarter than the guy who
was holding it. And that's a "freedom fry" to you, Jebbie.

19. Jeb Bush still controls Florida with the help of brain-dead Wing Nuts and Tea Baggers...
Jeb is trying to get his Fluff Boy Marco Rubio installed, so Jeb can continue to control the cash flow. (The Bush family owns most of the off-shore drilling leases around the state. Magic isn't it.. they way this comes together?)

In addition , we now have the Manchurian Candidate and Psychopath Rick Scott running for Govenor... gawd help us if this android gets elected.

The sad part is... he probably will win. Most of Florida is sound asleep (Z-Z-Z-Z-Z), and have an average memory span of 4 minutes.

21. And he might very well be the next president..
There has to be a recording of him blaming Clinton for something during his brothers reign, all the other Repubs did it...and still do. That's ok though.

22. Jeb Bush* is CRAZIER than ol' dubya. Far crazier and deadlier.
Jeb was a full-fledged member of the Project for the New American Century and a signatory to their manifesto. Dubya, on the other hand, was the national village idiot selected by Darth Cheney* and the Texas-American Petroleum Mafia to be their Presidential built-in alibi candidate.

24. Good call ....
He certainly is. The whole family is wonky. I recommend a book called "The Family" by Kitty Kelley which I'm sure a lost of you have already read. But for those who haven't it is a great book about the Bush family, its business interests and how they have used them to guide governmental policies which are contrary to our welfare and some of their more questionable alliances with foreign governments and home grown but powerful crackpots.

The author said she had never had so much trouble getting the information she needed to write her book. Her contacts in most cases were afraid to speak or had been induced to stay silent by other means.
