BREAKING! Jeb Bush posts " ! " for sale on eBay, bids are peaking around $1.49 [View all]

No link yet...breaking news.



CNN - Rather than take a premature victory lap over winning the Presidency in 2016, John Ellis (Jeb) Bush chose instead to send a black cloud across the skies of his dwindling supporters. The " ! " from his failed bid for the Republican nomination...the sole "money shot" from what were probably very high-paid marketing geniuses on his staff...was quietly posted on eBay last night.

The post purports to originate from Jeb himself, although that is highly unlikely. "Own a piece of HIStory!" screams the ad, apparently an homage to the Michael Jackson album of the same name or perhaps just ignorance on Team Bush's part. "My dad bathed you in 1000 points of light and my brother kept you safe for eight years, unless you count that 9/11 thing, and I certainly don't! COUNT the days until the November election just like I counted those votes in Florida!"

The opening bid was $1.47 and in the last 24 hours has skyrocketed to $1.49. The last person to bid on the " ! " goes by the handle "I.M.Pop-E," which has led some to believe that Bush's own father is trying to save his son from complete humiliation.

Bidding closes this evening.
