He looks like his mom!Among the Bushes, Jeb is known as “the smart one with the Mexican wife and the hot son and the pillhead daughter.” He had dibs on the presidency, but then George stepped in first, and now Jeb Bush is just the former governor of a state full of alligators and Truck Nutz addicts. But now he says he might run for the Florida Senate seat that Mel Martinez will vacate in 2010. The Bushes, like the Clintons, will never ever leave politics, ever. [Politico]

The Daily Show highlighted TruckNutz last night.

As to the story. How is “The Smurter” Bush going to Senatorize when the family flees to Paraguay?

Capitol Hillbilly December 3, 2008 at 9:57 am

Jeb is just a stopgap measure until Pierce Bush is old enough to run for Prezident.

…OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH PLEAAAAAAASE, if there is a God let Jeb run! The FAILITUDE would be epic!!!

BarthexDeRosa December 3, 2008 at 9:59 am

I’m still waiting to see a pair of Truck Nutz promoting a GOP candidate. Maybe with a little Jeb face on each testicle. You know it’s coming.

‘Show your support through Truck Nutz!’

Jeb busted a TruckNut or two outside the bonds of holy matrimony…

great pic. Jeb is supposedly the smarter, more right wing-y brother. But why would a New Englander (GHWB) name his son after the Confederate cavalry commander? Unless his name is really something like Jebediah.

Terry December 3, 2008 at 10:01 am

Every night, Jeb gets sloppy drunk and cries and yells “…I’m smarter than goddamn George and I worked hard…what the f#$% did he ever do….now he’s ruined it for me….”

It’s actually an amalgam of his initials. John Ellis Bush.

The greatness that was Arrested Development picked up on that with George Oscar Bluth aka GOB.

[re=189705]qwerty42[/re]: Dude’s name is John Ellis. “Jeb” is a clever counterweight to Mrs Bush’s Mexi-ness.

JDHART December 3, 2008 at 10:05 am

The Bush’s will leave politics if no one votes for them. I know we’re talking about Florida here with their long history of voting for the first ninny who yells JESUS the loudest. But, sheesh, you’d think even they would have Bush Fatigue.

Come on, Florida, get a clue.

I worked for the Florida legislature when Jeb was Governor. Although he’s a nice guy, he’s still a Bush. And he did jackshit for the state of Florida. He was supposedly an education guy, but education only got worse. Sadly, though, he wasn’t that disliked. Florida WOULD elect him, and that depresses me.

Toomush Infermashun December 3, 2008 at 10:13 am

You’re missing it here: Jeb in 2012, under Florida rules ( I mean the ones he used when he was Govner) will start the greatest feud between Florida and Alaska possible – look for Palin three-way videos, and Dumber and Dumberer and Dumberest spitting contests….it will be awesome….!

Wow, Chambliss, or whatever his name is, wins his runoff in Georgia and the Republicans are already getting cocky. Whoa, slow down there Jeb, the Bush name is still MUD, and will be for quite some time.

[re=189705]qwerty42[/re]: His name is John Ellis Bush thus, “JEB”, probably because his older brother George was too stupid to remember the difference between his little brother and the common household device they were still training him to use at seven.

Yesterday he was talking about forming a Republican shadow government with which the Republicans could present alternate ideas and grind things to a halt more efficiently. And he said it without laughing or obvious sarcasm. Now he wants to be a senator? He could have been shadow President. Downgrade.

Those rumors about Jeb being the smart one must be true what with his planning to run when the Bush name is at it’s absolute nadir and all.

Watch out for young George in 2012. He may be the next Republican “It” boy, because he’s purty.

Maybe Hillary should have a talk with Jeb about the meaning of the word “inevitability”. I would think that even Florida would have had enough of the Bush taint (and I mean that in all of its conotations).

Lest you think Jeb and his “shadow government” are empty polemics, here’s a little-known fact: Jeb was one of the original members of the Project for a New American Century (it’s like the Declaration of Independence for the rest of the world, only the opposite). Note that W didn’t sign it, his brother did. So wow, surprise, one of the original pre-emptive warhounds still wants a seat at the table. Kinda like ebola: it goes away for awhile, and everyone thinks it’s been eradicated. Then you hear this report of a new case popping up somewhere…

This document Jeb signed led us directly to Iraq. Just so no one forgets what the mild-mannered, Stay-Puft Bush is really about.

Jeb, please start your secret government now. I suggest meetings at the SkullnBones and special handshakes. You need to be supersecret about it or else everyone will find out. I suggest you take the best & brightest GOP leaders and move to a location nestled in the forests of Peru.
