"I don't think there's any Bush baggage at all," the former Florida governor said on Fox News Sunday. "I love my brother. I'm proud of his accomplishments." On Meet the Press, he added that "history will be kind to George W. Bush."

Truly he must think we're all stupid.

(9,999 posts)Then many will remember the "baggage"of Georgie's Legacy. The ones that won't are too stupid and would vote Republican no matter who runs. Even the GOP didn't want him involved in the 2012 elections because he was so unpopular by the time he left office. Good luck with that run Jebby.

(53,661 posts)Others are pushing the rest of the neo-con / libertarian line. Naturally, the billionaires who own the media won't stop kissing up to them.
The fact that these criminals are on the airways and talk shows is disgusting and they have plenty of lap dogs. After all, their friends are paying their salaries.

(53,661 posts)The Oxford English Dictionary defines it as:
1. The quality or fact of being for sale.
2. The quality of being venal; readiness to give support or favour in return for profit or reward; prostitution of talents or principles for mercenary considerations.
They're destroying this country.

(9,314 posts)getting ready for his run. I kind of thought during the 2000 debacle he certainly would run. Knowing politicians' proclivity for scrubbing stories, I printed off every outrageous thing he did during that controversy. That paper file is so thick, and I have just been waiting to see if I would need it.

There are 24 hours in a day why President Obama spent any of them giving gravitas to Jackass Jeb remains a mystery to me.

(12,547 posts)Wars on lies, rigged elections, Treasury looting, bankrupted the economy. Nothing to see here. Move along please. And what about Dick Cheney and war profiteering?
Wanted to hand the Social Security trust fund to Wall Street shysters. Remember "Can't get fooled again."
Or "I never said stay the course."
It's over Jebthro.

(10,274 posts)but, to be fair, the level of pure, poisonous contempt GOP politicians show to the media is unacceptable by any standard of civility. Do you think it's because Jeb KNOWS that slim is nothing more than a gossip-whore hack, PLAYING at being a Journalist, and therefore, treats him accordingly?
Is it possible that were he to take it upon himself to sit down and do a REAL interview/engagement with someone with ACTUAL Journalistic Integrity (like Rachel) he might be a little more well-behaved and serious?
Or is that just wishful thinking?
Bueler?

David is nearly worthless. Give that show to Rachel, Chris Hays or even Lawerence O'Donnell. Hell, give it to Ezra Klien, he's a policy wonk he would be GREAT at cutting through the bullshit.

GoCubsGo
(32,088 posts)He is subbing for Ed Schultz on his radio show today. He started off with a great commentary about how the rest of the country isn't Florida. Thanks to the Internet and other non-mainstream media, the rest of the country are going to hearing all about Jebbie's extremely corrupt past. Pap pointed out that this non-traditional media was not really set in place when Jeb was Governor, but it is now. It's the same media that exposed to all Mitt Romney for what he really is. I'll have to keep an eye out to see if there's some sort of audio, because he puts up a great argument as to why Jeb will never get into the White House.

(11,464 posts)Jeb don't need our support and it matters little if we think no one is that stupid
He is a republican/libertarian/tea party person, and THEY indeed are that stupid.
It's his unless he don't run.
Big people don't walk away, so he is running.
and have no doubt, the furtherst rightwing tea person would gladly accept the VP if Jeb
offered. (meaning Rand).
God help us all if a 3rd party run takes away even ONE democratic vote.
