1. K & R!

[onehandle]

2. And he's the 'smart brother.' nt

[greenman3610]

3. you beat me to it.

[BlueMTexpat]

34. Me too! nt

[mindwalker_i]

43. Me three!

[KJG52]

79. Incredible, ain't it.... to quote Bugs Bunny

[Laura PourMeADrink]

37. lol

[tclambert]

51. It's a low bar. Under the floor low.

[Ikonoklast]

59. That's a fairly low bar to surpass.

Money can purchase a first-class education for their offspring by the economic elite, but cannot do one thing for the basic lack of intelligence so many of these parasites exhibit.

[AtheistCrusader]

83. I'm.... not convinced.

This one's pretty fuckin' dumb.

[DetlefK]

4. If you squint your eyes, tilt your head to the side and give it a few minutes...

Then you realize what he actually meant to say with this gibberish.

[starroute]

28. Can you explain what he meant by "gladiator"?

The closest I can come is "spectator," and even that doesn't make any sense.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

39. That whole paragraph is out of context - you don't know what he

is referring to. Could be spectator. I can't imagine even in my most tongue-tied moments using the word gladiator - for ANYTHING.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

56. He's been doing a lot of lion.

[AtheistCrusader]

84. Oh, It's a sailboat!

[2naSalit]

5. If his name and picture

weren't included, I would have thought it was more Griftibou Barbie spew.

[Helen Borg]

6. Sometimes my mind switches?

Sounds like early Alzheimer's to me!

[needledriver]

7. He speaks Palin!

Bush-Palin 2016

[KansDem]

12. He sounds like a graduate of the Sarah Palin Institute for Public Speaking.

It's pathetic that either should be taken seriously!

[Myrina]

8. Cripes on a cracker - he's on the same drugs as Palin and Walker!

... he & Walker have that same 'Derp!' expression on their faces, too!

[blkmusclmachine]

82. I read that Hitler and his henchmen abused mind-altering drugs big time, too.

[Myrina]

87. Yeah but in this case, it's questionable whether or not these folks have minds to alter ....

[liberal N proud]

9. Sarah Palin and Dubya all wrapped up in one package.

[tnlurker]

10. Okay I took a Middle East History class in college

I have no idea what the "1915 kind of breakout of the Middle East" quote is even referring to. That was in the middle of WWI with the Ottomans controlling most of the Middle East at that time. Lawrence of Arabia was not even active yet so the Arab revolt was in it's infancy at best in 1915.

[OnlinePoker]

14. Sykes-Picot Agreement

Agreement between France and England on spheres of influence in the Middle East after the war.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sykes%E2%80%93Picot_Agreement

[tnlurker]

22. Okay Thanks

I had forgot about that...I thought it was in 1917...but that was the Balfour Declaration I was thinking about after a little Google research.

[yellowcanine]

53. 1916 would be more correct for the Sykes-Picot Agreement though.

The negotiation of the treaty occurred between November 1915 and March 1916.[2] The agreement was concluded on 16 May 1916.[3]

Jebbie gets half credit for the question for getting the date approximately right even as his description of the actual event was quite muddled. Unless it is an AP History course. Then he fails.

[DhhD]

38. The discovery of Oil in the Middle East and Near East brought the ideal of modernization through

infrastructure (steal and petro products) and weaponry, Bush Family businesses.

[Buzz Clik]

11. Sweet jeebus. Please tell me he is smarter than his brother. Please, please, please.

[MADem]

13. Please tell me they caught that on tape! nt

[underpants]

15. I think he meant "Cadillac-ic" in a wink to the old Reagan crowd

Women in Cadillacs picking up welfare checks

[argyl]

16. He's as big a dope as brother Smirk.Can't even pretend to be smart.

If this is the best the GOP has to offer for 2016 we'll be inaugurating a Democrat in 2017.

Unfortunately, I don't see this moron getting the GOP nomination.Way too much like his dumbass brother,whose legacy as the worst president ever is etched in stone.

[niyad]

32. don't underestimate the stupidity of the anti-intellectual crowd.

[woodsprite]

60. If Cheney, Rummy, and the Cabal behind him want Jebby to be Pres.

I don't know that there is much that will stop them from installing him as their candidate. We just have to do whatever We The People possibly can do to make sure our candidate -- whomever he/she may be -- receives an overwhelming tally of both popular and electoral votes. Crush 'em at the polls!!!

[oldandhappy]

17. another intellectual giant, sigh

[rurallib]

18. Has he been studying Gohmert?

[SunSeeker]

57. LOL. Stop casting aspersions on my asparagus!

Louie Gohmert accuses the Attorney General of casting "aspersions on my ...:

[demwing]

19. Great...President Tommy Boy

[Rob H.]

20. 'catalytic converter'? Try CATALYST

Sweet Jeebus, he's just as bad at public speaking as Dumbya was.

Edit: they both seem to be idiots, too, so there's that.

[LuckyLib]

24. i laughed at that: some kind of expelling of exhaust

For the ME? The stupid of these Bushies just gets better and better!

[iscooterliberally]

33. This is very funny for me considering he killed emissions testing in Florida.

We used to have to get our cars inspected for emissions, but he shut the whole thing down. Now you should see some of clunkers we have on our highways down here. Lots of folks driving around with no insurance too.

[Pacifist Patriot]

21. I missed the announcement. When did he hire Palin as his speechwriter?

[TRoN33]

23. Mind boggling!

I can't even follow what Jeb were saying!

[ALBliberal]

25. Governor of FL for 8 years? frightening nt

[Roland99]

26. So...he's a "gladiator"? He works for Olivia Pope on Scandal?

or is he Tommy Boy? errr...Jebby Boy?


Holy Schnikes, indeed!!

[ALBliberal]

41. lol I thought the same thing Gladiators from Scandal

But he is soooo not smart enough for Pope

[yurbud]

27. Papa Bush's vocabulary + Baby Bush's Brain = Jeb

[yurbud]

29. when the last person in your family who made an honest living died five generations ago...

this is what you get.

If somebody is rich because they made the money themselves, they may be smarter, more creative, and more hard-working than the rest of us, but Republicans who inherited money and decided that entitles them to run for office are doing everything they can to prove those virtues are not hereditary.

[hibbing]

35. and their prep schools and legacy admissions

And so on, however, apparently a lot of people in this country have very short memories. How quickly people forget the economy shredding 800,000 jobs a month during the idiot son's reign.

Peace

[yurbud]

44. I don't think they forget. They just don't understand cause and effect.

They see stupid, successful, and rich, and figure that since they are stupid too, it is an asset not a liability to becoming successful and rich.

They don't realize that W, Jeb, Mitt, Steve Forbes, and on and on are successful IN SPITE of being stupid not BECAUSE of, and their wealth is entirely the work of someone else.

[uponit7771]

62. +1

[47of74]

78. How much better would it have been...

...if that person's wife had said, "Not tonight, I have a headache."

[samsingh]

30. holy schnikes is the type of thinking we need

most gopers and repugs probably understand that really well.

[gordianot]

31. Well at least he speaks fluent "Bushism".

[Diclotican]

36. the new bush similar to the old bush

I guess the new bush is the same as the old bush in other means. Cant keep two sentences appart at the same time. And the result is rather as it is.. Good help all off us if he is elected president of the Us...

[ALBliberal]

40. Holy Schnikes Batman!

Hilarious if it weren't so frightening

Bush II ... Same Bat time same Bat Channel!

[Chiyo-chichi]

42. Bush/Schnikes 2016. nt

[Jack Rabbit]

45. Bad syntax seems to run in the family

[gademocrat7]

46. Word salad....

[colorado_ufo]

47. How on earth did this man ever get elected to anything?

The truly frightening part is that, with multiple reads and the insertion of numerous commas and other punctuation, you can squeeze a penny's worth of coherent thought out of Sarah Palin's ramblings. But this? Dude's got NOTHING!

[Madmiddle]

48. Holy Scnikes, it's Sarah Palin in a fat suit.

So, you see, this guy is even dumber than his brother. Idiocracy is going to happen to America . This is most probably the next president, especially with the enormous money behind this DERP...Better be ready voters, the voting rights are going to go away and gerrymandering will be used to get this guy in. The fix is almost in place...

[yellowcanine]

49. Jeb's word salads are almost Palinesque....

[Wash. state Desk Jet]

50. holy schnikes !!!

Yep, all laced with a whole lot of you know ,I don't really know but you bet ya and yer darn tooten ! Hop Along Jeb, you bet ya !

Yep, the real me is what I made of me and it's not the same as the others. I'm an independent thinker .Hop Along Jeb.

[watoos]

52. Jeb should learn from his dumb brother

just use 3 words or less in sentences.

I also notice that Jeb is not a poster boy for charisma.

[tclambert]

54. He just won the vote of all the stand-up comedians.

Saturday Night Live won't need to write skits for President Jeb, just repeat what he actually says. (I'm thinking Beck Bennett, the one who does the adult baby, as Jeb "the gladiator" Bush. Maybe they could bring in Tina Fey as Sarah Palin to interpret what he says.)

[locks]

55. Jennifer Rubin in her WashPo column

titled Jeb Bush Dazzles writes about Repub governors: "The comparison to Jeb Bush on foreign policy may make or break other candidates." She's always so right; he will surely knock out all the other governors. Let's hope Jeb will add more women to his fine list of campaign experts, like Liz Cheney, Ann Coulter, Sarah Palin, and Jennifer Rubin.

[tiptonic]

58. Joke

Is this someones sad idea of a joke. He cant be that dumb.

[TBF]

64. Nope but he can pander to a base full of idiots -

and that has worked very well for repugs in the past few decades.

[uponit7771]

61. Soooooooooooooo who else thought George Bush was the dumbest one?... come on.. I wasn't

... the only one

[MrScorpio]

63. A virtual puppy to anyone who can sense of that...Whatever it is. nt

[mercuryblues]

65. If I am

ever at their house for a holiday dinner, I want to sit at the kids table. They just might be smarter.

[czarjak]

66. George...

Is your brother learning?

[raging moderate]

68. Is English his second language?

That is how it sounds to me.

[louis-t]

69. He even sounds like W

I've always thought the bushes sound as if they were in a room when someone was talking about economics or foreign policy or whatever, and they just remembered bits and pieces.

[kacekwl]

70. This is what happens

when you bash education and educators . Was he home schooled ?

[Initech]

71. Definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

[yuiyoshida]

72. Crikey!

n/t.

[barbtries]

73. deja vu

who said he's the smart one?

[Aldo Leopold]

74. My god, it just hit me!

Bush is an anagram for "Uh, B.S."!

[father founding]

75. holy moly

Where's Poppies CIA hit squad when you need it?

[randys1]

76. The dumber he comes off, the more the right will love him.

Remember, his problem other than the name identification is he is assumed to be somewhat of an intellectual, an educated man.

Teaparty hates that.

[rhett o rick]

77. LOL. And Babs says he's the "smart son". nm

[TrollBuster9090]

80. TRANSLATION: "....Libya....Libya....I've just got all this stuff WHIRLING around in my head!"

[silvershadow]

81. Well, that settles it. Maybe it is Neil's time instead. nt

[PatrickforO]

85. I am Locutus of the Borg! Resistance is futile...

Stand by to be ASSIMILATED!!!!

[Enthusiast]

86. How can he be so dumb?

Catalytic converter?

That is reason enough to keep him out of office, any office.

[Javaman]

88. channeling sarah failin. nt

[father founding]

89. It just sounds so evil

President Bush !

[Iggo]

90. Oh, jeezus.

Another one.

[mikeysnot]

91. He only looks "smart" compared

to the rest of his family...

[marym625]

92. YIKES!
