In reply to the discussion: Jeb Bombs His Big National Security Speech [View all]gratuitous
(82,849 posts)9. Didn't hurt his stupid brother, didn't hurt his stupid father
It won't hurt Jeb to be stupid, either. As long as there are minions to run out afterwards and say that "Mr. Bush misspoke," the Bushes aren't held to any standards for accuracy or articulateness. The popular media will paint him as an "Aw shucks" kind of guy you want to have a beer with, as opposed to that harpy running on the other party's ticket. We'll be assured that despite whatever stupid thing fell out of Jeb's mouth, "everybody knows" what he really meant to say, and besides, he'll have a coterie of advisors - the wisest men on the planet - to make sure he always operates in the bestest interests of all the United States.*
*The United States being defined as the greediest motherfuckers history has ever seen.

The Libertarians and the saner Repubs are very critical of him at this point.

He was a D student, so he must not like studying much. The Bush boys like the perks
