Why don’t they send out a mass email and have an outgoing message saying ” Jeb Bush isn’t available until 2016. Try Daniels, he might not mind losing.”

The only person who can physically be “out of” any “pocket” is a quarterback. “Out of pocket” doesn’t mean “away from the office.” It means “petty cash you pay yourself, for which you are reimbursed.”

God these people are morons.

Interesting picture. Is it from the CNN debate?

Mitt on the left. Newt, in the middle, with three heads–one for(from?) each wife. And the Santorum-covered creature crawling up behind Newt.

Truly, the Founding Fathers would be proud of us.

Oh, now I see the Bush 41 vomiting incident in Japan in a different light. 2 Leaders 1 Lap?

More Bush equals less Santorum. I believe that is a general law of sexual physics. I read that in either Popular Science or Screw, I can’t remember which.

In response to thurbers…

I think the proper date for America to embrace Jeb Bush would not be 2016, but 2166.

But a better date would be 2666.

Oh, Jeb’s not so bad – he’s smarter than his brother, anyway: keep a low profile, don’t embarrass your “donors”, and don’t be surprised when random pretty Asian women turn up at your hotel door looking for a warm, safe place to spend the night. Really, Jeb’s just too nice a guy – he simply can’t turn away money and women loking for shelter in this harsh, cruel world.

Jeb is smarter than his brother – okay, we agree that particular bar isn’t set very high. However, he does know enough to realize that he doesn’t want to end up dodging brickbats if the Tea Partiers have him or any other Republican with a nodding acquaintance with sanity rammed down their throats…

I think I state the obvious when I say that this is clearly Good News for John McCain.

For us maybe, but obviously the GOP is already calling. There are only going to be two questions in 2016, will the GOP have solved their little bat shit crazy base problem and will Americans show themselves to have short memories and little self respect. Because if the answer to the first is yes, Bush will be the candidate (sorry Paul Ryan). I wish there was going to be a demand for a Democratic President, but since Obama has pretty much been Bush’s third term and I think the second will be even worse the Republican is going to go into 2016 with an advantage resembling what the Democrats had in 2008. And that is what the Bushies are counting on. Because unless the American public overcome their usual short memories and prodigious capacity for BS, Bush will be the frontrunner and probably win.

…since Obama has pretty much been Bush’s third term and I think the second will be even worse…

Oh, yeah. And if you really, truly believe that, I have a jar of Santorum that I’d like to sell you, marked down for President’s Day.

It’s looking more and more like there is a Sarah in their future.

Don’t be silly. It’s 1066.

I got soooo wasted tippling whenever the NFLcasters mentioned “Aaron Rodgers” and “the pocket.” Please, desperate GOPers, don’t make me for through that rehab again.

Privately, he is urging his staff to ignore the buzz and to fill his schedule, as usual, with meetings and conferences.

Eleventh hour meetings are being planned around the clock, creating numerous scheduling conflicts.

So is this real, or is Jebboy playing hard to get? Or perhaps he might send forth a front man like (oh, I dunno…Marco Rubio, maybe?) to do that whole surrogate thing? Yes, Rubio has already signaled his non-interest in being President of Vice, but I’m pretty sure he could be persuaded to heed the call for his benefactors country. Viva La Castro Jebboy!

Yes, the game’s set up for Jeb Bush, but he’s box-office poison.

Run him, why not?

We still lose with Obama.

Dubya worked at Merka when Merka got highjacked. JEB worked at Lehman when Lehman went down in flames.

JEB made his first big money in real estate with a Cuban Developer. They built an office building in Miami, defaulted on the loan, got forgiven on the debt, and got to keep the building and sell it for a profit.

Not so famous JEBBY quote: “I’m going to be a very rich man, one day”.

Not to worry.

Gojira and Mosura with save us.

IMHO, JEBBY is electable at any time. Obama has revived both the R Party and The Bush Brand. See Obama and JEB touting privatization – Charter Schools. The MSM will spit shine JEBBY like new choos.

It’s a genealogical thing. Or gynecological. I always get those two mixed up…

Try this mnemonic device: I Dream Of Having Children With Barbara Eden…

I don’t think so.

I have been singing the Mosura song every day for over 10 years in the hope of some kind of intervention. Education, Infrastructure, Habeas Corpus, Energy, Civil Rights, Rule of Law, anything.

Well, look around you if you want to know the result.

The Space People tried to warn us speaking through Jefferson and Franklin many many years ago, but we foolishly ignored them. And now, we’re evidently on our own.

We have run out of options. We have no choice now except to-

Destroy All Monsters.

LMFAO.

Run Jeb, Run.

The sins of his idiot fucking brother would be on television and print media 24/7.

Let’s see – wind down in Iraq done on Bush’s time table including continuing the huge embassy and staff, bail out of bankers over people, continued shredding of our civil rights in the war on terror, continued spying on Americans, the joke of the recent mortgage fraud agreement, the continuation of the Bush tax cuts (which could have been dealt with before the election, the Catfish Commission spotlight on Social Security and after that failure the payroll tax cut that weakens SS which could have been an expansion of EITC, the health care law that is largely a bail out of the insurance industry and fails utterly to provide universal care, the continued expansion of Presidential Power, the move to drill baby drill in the Gulf, the three trade agreements that will actually lose jobs in America even as the Columbians kill trade unionists, the continuing pushing of Charter Schools in this terms version of No Child Left Behind, the push back on unionized federal workers, the crackdowns on Whistle Blowers…
Do you really need me to go on? No, Obama is not Santorum, but then neither was Bush as Santorum is to the right of him. But apparently you have yet to realize that in almost everything Obama has governed as a traditional conservative Republican slightly to the right of Reagan, sort of like Bush.

On Edit to add that the biggest ‘liberal/progressive’ action in the Obama administration was the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell. And that happened after many of his biggest gay or gay friendly donors made it perfectly clear that they don’t mess around. Throw them under the bus (as the administration attempted to do even as we heard about how fierce a defender of Gay Rights the President was) and they will cut you off and look for someone else, even while they chain themselves to the fence every friggin’ day and asking where is that fierce advocate. IOW, they didn’t look for eleventh dimensional chess – they treated it as the betrayal it was and said you want our money, you want our support – earn it. Otherwise you have an enemy that will work to get you replaced. And that was the one time the Obama admin backed off the change in direction to the right.

There’s always Gamera!

Former governor of America’s Wang,

As a reluctant Floridian (can’t make enough money to move out), I resemble that remark!

Seriously.
After dad being a single term preznit and his idiot son losing 2 elections, but being appointed anyway; I don’t think even Amerikans are stupid enough to let Jeb anywhere near the whitehouse.

Fuck JEB! We want NEIL BUSH!!! He knows the banking industry, Amurkkkan education, the stock market, the Asians and he’s a real Texan! He never got convicted of any of those suspected felonies- any of the times the questions were brought up, so he’s an all good upstanding citizen. He copped to banging all those hoo-erz with no condoms, so you know he’s all about the positive pregnancy press, and is willing to take risks. Why not more Bush? We haven’t had this one be elected to fuck the public, like the other ones were! C’mon, folks- don’t you feel lucky? Third times a charm, right?

There’s no way Jeb can afford the Ginza Hostess Bars. What he wants is to go get his hair cut in Shanhai (WARNING: NSFW)

My out-of-pocket White Knight candidate is Ben Roethlisberger.

Also, there are too many “smarter than his brother” comments to choose just one to reply to, but…

Jeb Bush is less qualified to serve as President of the United States than his brother was. Remember that phrase and practice it for 2016. Make him defend it. Because at the end of the day, he has a very thin resume. He has a mediocre education, his family’s a circus, and he has no substantial entrepreneurial or business executive experience. He needs to be made to look like another decadent Miami Republican bipolar who no one would seriously consider putting in Washington or any other city with seasons.
