Jeb: the Bush error apparentby Ed Naha
August 18, 2006
Two relevant quotes from our President: “I think Jeb would make a great President,” and “I like a good bologna sandwich.” Maybe I should quit, now, while I’m ahead.
Although Governor Jeb Bush of Florida has gone on record as not being interested in a presidential run in ’08, just the thought of another Bush in the White House gives one the cerebral equivalent of freezer burn.
Now, a few of you might be thinking: “Okay. He’s a Bush. But he doesn’t play ‘cowboy,’ seems kind of jovial and jowly (if you discount his beady eyes) and actually speaks English in a way that doesn’t suggest a dyslexic Veg-o-matic. He’s not that bad.”
Well, boys and girls, he is. Leaving his immediate family’s run-ins with the law out of it, ol’ Jeb has an affinity for allowing voter purges, championing the rights of the brain-dead (could be a genetic thing), basing his decisions on religious beliefs, ignoring corruption, having children in foster care disappear, attacking public libraries and, like his brother, appointing some of the biggest morons to the most important jobs in his state. He’s also one of the original PNAC pack.
Aside from that? He’s great.
Who could argue with President Bush I, who told Larry King: “This guy’s smart, big and strong. Makes the decisions.”
By those standards, we’d be better off voting for Hoss Cartwright, the gentle giant.
This year, alone, ol’ Jeb has found himself at the center of enough government scandals to make Dubya proud.
