KEENE, N.H. — A feistier, combative Jeb Bush said Thursday that he doesn't believe the term "anchor babies" is offensive and blamed Democrats for perpetuating the idea that it's a loaded term.

In one of his most aggressive exchanges with reporters to date, Bush dismissed suggestions that the two-word term deemed offensive by many Hispanics and denounced by Democrats is improper.

"Do you have a better term? You give me a better term and I'll use it," he snapped at a reporter who asked him.

Bush's defense of the term is a sharp departure from how he usually discusses immigration reform and the broader national debate on the subject.

Adding to Bush's odd defense of the term is that he's been a member of a national Hispanic advocacy organization that has denounced the use of the term.

Bush helped launch the Hispanic Leadership Network, a center-right group seeking to build GOP support among Latino voters. He is still listed as a member of the national advisory board. In 2013, the group issued a memo titled, "Dos and Don'ts of Immigration Reform," with tips on how Republican lawmakers should discuss immigration reform and avoid offending Latino voters.

A copy of the memo obtained by The Hill newspaper said that: "When talking about immigrants: Do use 'undocumented immigrant' when referring to those here without documentation. Don't use the word 'illegals' or 'aliens.' Don't use the term 'anchor baby.' "

He just might lose his national advisory board position with the Hispanic Leadership Network, now that we see yet another glimpse into Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Jeb is so thoroughly off of his game that he's like a cockroach rolled over onto his back while the wild-haired orange cat plays 'spin the top'.
