In reply to the discussion: Anyone here feel sorry for Jeb? [View all]mythology
(9,527 posts)63. In one small way, yes I do
He didn't ask to be born into such a screwed up family. I can't imagine what growing up with an asshat brother like George would be like. George called one of his most loyal allies Turd Blossom and didn't see anything wrong with trying to give Angela Merkel a backrub in public. He wasn't exactly good with how to conduct himself and that was after he stopped being a drug addict.
That said, Jeb had all the advantages in the world to rise above his circumstances and didn't, which is his own damn fault.
