The Bush is stupid routine was just how Karl Rove and Karen Hughes wanted it
time and again

How stupid can bush be?
He has worked his family name back to the surest of sure shots in 2016

Don't ever underestimate any of the family.

And remember, some called his father a bum back in 1963.
(oh wait a minute, he was).

...the boooooosh cabal, he's as sharp as they come...and that doesn't say much. Other than the fact he's not as stupid as his brother and not as wimpy as his old man there's not much I've ever seen nor heard from jebbie that impresses....just another right wing talking point claptrap...

Cheers...

Compared to you or me, no, Jeb isn't that bright. Compared to his ex-president brother, the one who now seems to be (thankfully) in the witness protection program, Jeb's another Winston Churchill.....

I could have sworn I heard him say people need to learn deferred gratification. Apparently instead of demanding things from the government right now! Right out of the 47 percent playbook. Amazing.

10. Evidently he's quite sharp.

I don't know why people consistently insist that ALL of their political enemies are stupid. That is actually quite stupid.

Underestimating your political enemies is way stupid, hon. And making shit up like your oh so brilliant comment is way contemptible. Why do it? You know it's dog shit and so do the vast majority of those reading your post.

Sad.

13. Katherine Harris is still living. I'm curious why Jeb feels now is the right time....

...to explore a run for the presidency. She knows where a lot of the Florida political bodies are buried and felt she was abandoned by Jeb after she did her thing in the 2000 election. I guess she's been paid off and paid very well.

in The Bush Crime Family™ of crooks and murderers.

When you look back at their history, instead of being an honored American family, they should be condemned for their actions. Providing financing and weapons to the Nazis in defiance of U.S. laws, evading the draft during Vietnam, sneaking out of town under cover of darkness after screwing people out of their money in the savings and loan scandal, Iran-Contra, lying to America to start wars, legislating irresponsible policies that would drive the country to the bring of depression, and of course George H. W. Bush is the only person alive and old enough at the time who can't remember where he was when President Kennedy was assassinated.

Jeb is just next in line, and there are a few younger ones being prepared.

We've had too many Bush men in office for too many years already. Our founding fathers didn't like the monarchy overseas, yet it seems we're headed toward one here if we don't flush the Bush family out of our political system for good.

19. Next to Dubya, Jeb looks like a genius, but that's a pretty low bar to set the stardard at.

Jeb's still a moron, just not as much of a moron as Dubya.
