Jeb's handlers think he's "arrogant" and not mature enough for Pres.

Jeb Bush's Domineering Style Chafes Even His Own Camp

I t made headlines the other day when Tom Slade, who engineered Gov. Jeb Bush's emergence as a political powerhouse, voiced some of the same criticisms as Bush's Democratic critics, calling him ``arrogant'' and saying he ``does not have the maturity ... and wisdom'' to be president.

Slade, the former state chairman of the Republican Party, only offered for the record what many state Republicans have long said in private.

Bush is a strong and innovative leader. Floridians saw him at his best during the hurricane crisis, when he was both resolute and compassionate. But as Slade told a University of South Florida political scientist who is writing a history of the Florida Republican Party, Bush has a ``dictatorial'' style and does not welcome advice or compromise.

-snip- (the snip holds some examples)

It's because of Bush's great abilities - and potential - that we wish the governor would take Slade's unsweetened comments to heart.

1. Like his monkey brother. nt

4. I hope

he never runs for President. I don't think he has that "cowboy" thing going on like Bush does. That's why people voted for him the first time. Just because of his "down to earth" personality and nonsense. :eyes: Oh and of course his last name.

19. You bring up an interesting question, though

If Jebby runs, will he suddenly develop that fake Texas accent like his brother?

[donheld]

7. All in the Monkey Family

actually i think monkeys are better than they are.

2. Like his brother does not have that problem.

[jfern]

3. I doubt he'll be the 2008 nominee

5. Barbara Bush is nothing if not consistent in the 'quality' of her product

Across the board, her offspring are unfit.

[gratuitous]

6. That hasn't seemed to hamper his brother's "career"

With the money and resources at their command, the oligarchs can make even George W. Bush seem to be something other than a spoiled frat boy who, in a just world, would be pumping gas instead of pumping up gas prices.

8. maybe Slade's comments are a political ploy?

9. Ditto Rudy

He too was at his "best" during 9/11 and immediately afterwords. It was the rest of the time that he was an arrogant, obstinate, jerk.

Amazing all these Republicans have so much in common?

10. Prince Harry for PRESIDENT!!!

:evilgrin:

[walldude]

11. Scuse me but didn't "Prince" Harry go to

a costume party dressed like a Nazi?

[Karenina]

17. Don't Jeb run around unencumbered

SOUNDING AND ACTING LIKE ONE??? :evilgrin:

[Flying Dream Blues]

12. I guess that's my fear...

that it just doesn't matter. We will have whomever they want us to have, and regardless of how many people apparently vote against him. Gosh I hate feeling/appearing like a tinfoil hatter, but I honestly just can't say I believe we can vote them out.

[donsu]

15. I agree - our votes won't count unless on paper ballots, hand counted

with an audience.

[javadu]

13. I am so relieved that there will be another Bush who has the courage to

protect us from the bad guys!!! WHEW!!!

/* Sarcasm Off */

I am really not a freeper, but I believe this is what they hear in their heads when they read this story.

[yurbud]

14. How do you NOT look compassionate and resolute during disaster?

Visit, hug, send in national guard, as for pres to help...

It's pretty straight forward.

[Bluebear]

16. "Resolute during the hurricane crisis"????

What, did he shake his fist at the sky and say "Get out of here, you hurricane! We will not be broken!"

[radwriter0555]

18. He's still banging Cynthia Henderson, right?

he's a bush, and innately UNqualified for any position of public office and as a bush should be DISQUALIFIED from ever holding a public office again.
