As for Bush, finding a rational for his candidacy (something else than "I am jealous of my older brother&quot would probably help the strength of his candidacy.

What a bunch of losers.

It may be that there is less love for him than gratitude.... y'know, those who actively hate him...

I remember her coming to daddy's defense about something years ago.... so awkward and illogical were her statements I envision this scene at the breakfast table:

"Ok Liz, you get out there and defends me now!'
"B-b-but Dadums...."
"It's either get on the tube and say something nice about Daddy... or Dubai.... got it?.... Honey?"

Lizard Cheney must have gotten a gander at Dickless' will, and she is in for a windfall. Problem is, she will likely croak before him. So much more evil for him to do before he goes. She seems to be the "son he never had" unless that was W???

outright criminal. In the 2000 election, he saw that the Florida voter rolls we're "cleaned up" so that no "fraud" could take place. Thousands of voters (Dems of course) could not vote. Jeb! aided and abetted in the theft of the presidency.

Jeb! is not smart enough to do that alone, he is like his bro', dumb as a stump (to quote McCain) So, plenty of help was involved with that. Read about what he did with the retirement funds in Florida, handing it over to the Lehrman brothers. Then he was put on the board, making over $1 million a year!! No intelligence needed when you have a name like his. It opens doors to very lucrative jobs. He probably thought the road to the WH would be just like Dubya's, EASY. He looks STUNNED when asked any kind of question. Snotty Walker was "vetted" by the Koch brothers, probably by the same team that "vetted" $carah PayMe for little Johnny McCain!! They wasted their money on THAT loser.

The prison system is overcrowded and -- in many areas -- run for-profit. Public humiliation, on the other hand, serves a valuable purpose, and is fun for the entire family.




OK, with the current clown-car of Repuke candidates and their ilk (Koch-suckers and Caribou Barbie, for instance), we'd need multiple pillories, or one that stretches from Wall Street to K Street.

The French Revolution also had a good way of despatching such critters. Thanks to M. Guillotine, it was fairly humane, and from what I understand, reasonably comical when the smarter-than-thou head became separated from reality.

24. Endless Pillory For Bush Crime Inc.
Mon Aug 31, 2015, 10:01 PM
Aug 2015

Of course, selling tickets to the event to raise revenue to pay for the pension funds the GOP swindled.

Bush Crime Inc. should have alternate periods to clean up the rotten eggs, and tomatoes vended out to the public, thrown at them.

Then refresh Bush crime Inc. could get refreshed with a water-boarding cocktail loaded with LSD and exotic sex enhancement drugs. Watching them wiggle and squirm would be a thrill.

During the clean-up, pillory break time, the entire Bush Crime Inc. administration should be confined to the Presidential library in a secure room surrounded in a glass enclosed room visible from every perspective by the public to get a real feel for the loss of privacy the ordinary citizen has to endure because of the phony war scandal, especially violation in the fourth amendment “that is just a piece of paper”.

All this ongoing till the end of human existence.

I wonder what lucrative positions these two Bush brothers have these days? Neal walked away from Silverado Savings and Loan intact, with lots of $$$. Others went to prison, and lost everything. Marvin was in security at the WTC on 9/11, then dropped off the radar. Dickless Cheney has 88 Million invested in private prisons, so that explains why they are such hell holes.

What a double-entendre

Republicans get into trouble when they speak of women

a war is violence

what's inside women is ... well ... body parts, soul, brain, organs

he'd better rethink that one

Sound almost like a Senate Republican

(gasp!) talking about (shudder!) climate change!

That's too much.

But in close second...well, there IS no second. All of them are equally laughable.

The frightening thing, though, is there is a substantial group of people who take this shit seriously. We should fear them.

As Dickens had the Ghost of Christmas Present tell Scrooge, "The boy is ignorance, and upon his brow DOOM is writ!" (that's a paraphrase, but I got pretty close).
