1. Well, I won't be watching Sept. 8. Blech. nt

2. It might be fun to watch Colbert and Clooney rip him to shreds. :)

3. I don't think CBS will allow that to happen. Comedy Central might have! nt

4. David Letterman did a pretty good job of ripping and shredding. Remember his fight with McCain?

If it were Donald Trump, I would definitely NOT be watching. His voice grates on my nerves *almost* as much as Sarah Palin's. But... I'm interested to see what Colbert will do with this, and it's Jeb, not Trump, so I think I'll be checking it out. Clooney is definitely an added bonus, too!

5. I DESPISE Jeb! even more than I despise T. Rump. nt

6. Fucking Jeb Bush on the first night

Fuck him.

7. Good to know. Won't be watching. Fuck Bush.

... Seriously Jeb Bush is on the first show ever?

What a fucking joke.
