In reply to the discussion: Anyone here feel sorry for Jeb? [View all]Erich Bloodaxe BSN
(14,733 posts)1. As was written up elsewhere,
he 'parlayed his time in office' into 10s of millions of dollars of personal loot. Ie, he was your usual Republican grifter. So no, he gets no freaking sympathy from me, he's still living better than 99.9999% of Americans, and I respect your average garbageman a hundred times more than I respect him. They actually do hard, real work, and they also wash the slime off when they're done with work, they don't cherish it.
