Jeb Bush's Former Classmates Say He Was A Hash-Smoking Bully Well, blow me down!

[kpete]

Thanks to the Boston Globe, we know what it's like to get high with Jeb Bush.

The newspaper spoke with several of Bush's former classmates from the elite Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass., who portrayed the former Florida governor as a stoner and a bit of a bully.

Former classmate Peter Tibbetts told the Globe that he smoked marijuana for the first time with Bush and other classmates in the woods outside their dorm building. He recalled another time when he smoked hashish, or cannabis resin, in Bush's dorm room to the tune of Steppenwolf's 1968 hit "Magic Carpet Ride."

“The first time I really got stoned was in Jeb’s room,” Tibbetts said. “He had a portable stereo with removable speakers. He put on Steppenwolf for me.”

1. Of course he will

deflect by following his big brother's lead in stating that he's "born again..." and is Mr. Cleanjeans now.

"Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice..."

2. Jebbie a bully toward smaller people? Color me surprised. NOT.

It's part of the Republicans' DNA to be a bully. That's no secret. They don't do diplomacy or care about the "least among thee". All they have respect for are for people who have more money than they do and all they care about is themselves, and that shows in their policies.

3. And it always seems that they pick on those who cannot fight back. The poor, the disabled, the

elderly, children. Anyone they can be sure of winning against.

4. Right. And that's because they're cowards. n/t

5. Exactly.

7. They're also borderline sociopaths. They have no natural empathy for people who need help.

Sociopaths don't, either. They can play the compassionate conservative well for the cameras and mics, but based on their policies, they don't appear to have any sympathy for anyone outside of themselves, least of all those who need help the most.

6. Well, bullies are also cowards. They'll pick on those who are already down

and defenseless. Easier that way. They won't have to expect the vulnerable to fight back...just the way they like it. Effing a******s.
