Whenever Marco Rubio speaks policy, seems like a 9th grader who read a biography of Reagan & is giving a book report

“'I make a joke that every four years, there’s the Olympics, there’s the World Cup and I come to New Hampshire thinking about running for president,' Pataki told a crowd of 15 people during a speech at a Sea-Doo and snowmobile dealership in Laconia, N.H"

A particularly apt quote from Krugman regarding Jeb Bush's policy advisors:

Simply raising questions about the orthodoxies of the moment leads to excommunication, from which there is no coming back. So the only “experts” left standing are those who made all the approved mistakes.

Aimless, Friday, 15 May 2015 17:48 (nine years ago) link

bizarre to see Clinton trying to move in on Warren's territory at the same time Jeb Bush is going after, like, Huckabee's

That's it, he's lost my vote. Fucker.

Wouldn't Jeb Bush be redundant, then? It'd be like scuba apparatus.

ha ppl shd start addressing him that way without admitting it it sounds almost the same but not quite

lag∞n, Monday, 18 May 2015 17:30 (nine years ago) link

I'm fine with Je Bush.

pplains, Monday, 18 May 2015 17:41 (nine years ago) link

Or maybe everyone should call him John E or just plain E, like they did with his brother.

pplains, Monday, 18 May 2015 17:42 (nine years ago) link

John E. "Smoke" Bush

Hi! How are you? Have you seen this (WilliamC), Monday, 18 May 2015 17:43 (nine years ago) link

lol

I like JE (sounds like "Gee") let's go with that

Οὖτις, Monday, 18 May 2015 17:45 (nine years ago) link

"JE Bush, did you think up that answer all by yourself?"

Οὖτις, Monday, 18 May 2015 17:45 (nine years ago) link

"JE that sounds like a terrible idea, have you really thought this through"

Οὖτις, Monday, 18 May 2015 17:45 (nine years ago) link

Clearly someone realized really early on that "J. E. Bush" sounded way too much like a robber baron. While I'd love for the news to start calling him that, it does border on "Barack HUSSEIN Obama" stuff.

Doctor Casino, Monday, 18 May 2015 17:46 (nine years ago) link

Like the Tea Baggers and "Hussein", I just want the American people to realize that John Bush share the same first name as the guy who shot Reagan.

pplains, Monday, 18 May 2015 17:55 (nine years ago) link

haha

Lincoln had a secretary named Jeb.

Josh in Chicago, Monday, 18 May 2015 18:00 (nine years ago) link

Christie attacked "civil liberties extremists" in a 50-MINUTE foreign policy speech in New Hampshire.

Now srsly, who the fuck could listen to that?
