Did Jeb really say he was going to "put his big boy pants on" to come to the debate tonight?

I caught that in this interview with John Heilemann http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2015/08/06/john_heilemann_bill_clinton_making_a_little_mischief_--_told_trump_he_s

Really. What an interesting thing for Jeb to say...hmm

[niyad]

1. oh, the things that ran through my mind. . . .

[Eleanors38]

12. Heard some in Florida call him Jaba the Butt.

[C_U_L8R]

2. Very necessary pants

To cover up those big boy diapers he'll be wearing

[MoonRiver]

3. Hey, toilet training is hard!

[Kelvin Mace]

4. THEY CALL THEM PULL UPS!!!

Give the guy a break.

[Oneironaut]

5. I don't believe for a second Jeb! dresses himself.

[stevenleser]

6. He's really a train wreck of a candidate by any measure. He is going to manage to

not get the nomination when he had all the major advantages.

[AllFieldsRequired]

7. It angers me to my very being that any Bush could get one vote at this point

in time.

Their corruption, their fortune coming from treason.

Then W creating possibly the worst intentional blunder causing death and destruction that continues to this day.

That his brother is seen by millions as a viable contender is absolutely maddening.

We will not survive, as a species or community/nation if we keep acting so incredibly dumb.

[Mnemosyne]

8. Wasn't he just talking to/about Caribou Barbie? It's a favorite phrase of hers, iirc. nt

[pinboy3niner]

9. No. Media outlets are reporting...

Bush also said he has no qualms heading into next week’s Republican debate featuring Trump and other Republican opponents.

“I’m a big boy,” he said. “I’ll be showing up with my big boy pants on.”

10. He borrowed them from his older brother.

'nuff said.

[Eleanors38]

13. ...passed on by Turd Blossom.

[tanyev]

11. Maybe you should have put them on a long time ago, Jebbie.

14. Not shocked - a Repukes says something stupid and moronic and still gets treated

like a serious contender for the WH. SSDD.
