It's The "Jeb!" That Makes It Art

 

From the Florida Phoenix:

Jeb Bush, Newt Gingrich to serve as part of U.S. Sen. Rick Scott’s reelection finance committee

As part of his efforts to get reelected to the U.S. Senate next year, Republican Rick Scott unveiled his National Finance Committee Wednesday, featuring a number of current and former GOP lawmakers such as Jeb Bush and Newt Gingrich.

(Jeb Bush is a former Florida governor; Gingrich is a former U.S. House Speaker.)

Other prominent Republicans serving as Scott’s “honorary” finance co-chairs include current U.S. Sens. Marco Rubio, Utah’s Mike Lee and Wisconsin’s Ron Johnson. Former Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry fill out that list.

In a press release, Scott said that he is the top enemy of national Democrats going into this election cycle...

Rubio is just another dead fish floating on the boiling political currents of  the Florida GOP.

Mike Lee is a lunatic.

Johnson is a Putin FleshLight and worse than Lee.

Jindal is a splinter of old wannabe presidential timber that was left out in the elements for far too long.

Gingrich was Trump 1.0.

Rick Perry is at least three terrible things but I can only remember two of them.

But Jeb?  Hasn't the "Bush" name been sullied enough to shame the next ten generations already?

Burn The Lifeboats

Sadly, Jeb (!) No Longer Remembers Which Party He Belongs To...

or who his brother is.

Revenue up 3%, spending up 8% equals deficit of $897 billion in 10 months. DC doesn’t care. https://t.co/caOIIgwDRi

The man graduated from Phillips Andover Academy and the University of Texas and still can't spell the word "Republican".

Very sad indeed.

Current Funding Goal: Enough to make a killing during the next GOP Tax Cut for Plutocrats!

Current Funding Status:  Enough to make pancakes for lunch.

Republican History Repeats Itself, First as Tragedy

Second as farce.

Third as genius campaign strategery!

From the New York Times:

A Conundrum for Jeb Bush: How to Use George W.

GREENVILLE, S.C. — With Jeb Bush struggling to connect with some Republican activists, his campaign has begun exploring whether to bring in the person it thinks may be best equipped to give him a boost with skeptical conservatives: his brother George W. Bush.

The 43rd president is a very popular figure among Republican voters and could deliver a needed jolt to his brother’s sluggish campaign.

...

Bwahahahaha!

Because as the Bush Family crest reads: "Cum te radices producunt atque iterum ad maiorem gente consilium optimum telum."

Or, in English, "When you shoot yourself in the foot over and over again, the best possible strategy is to reach for a larger caliber weapon."

Also, I cannot over-emphasize how awesome it is that the people who have been frantically flinging themselves through the Magical Teabagger/Bush-Off Machine over and over again for the last seven years like children running through a sprinkler on a hot day are the same people who we are being told regard Dubya as a "very popular figure".

But what bumps this from awesome to perfect is where one of the recommendations is coming from:

“I do think he’s an asset, and we need him down here — and Barbara, too,” said Sally Atwater, a Republican activist here, referring to the brothers’ mother. 

Ms. Atwater, the widow of Lee Atwater, a strategist for the first President Bush, added of the family: “Folks have a relationship with these people already. That’s important. And you need to play off of that.”

With no John McCain to slander this time around, I'm not sure what Commander Cuckoobananas can add to the mix, but you gotta respect the effort.
