That Time Jeb Bush Wrote the White House About Getting Americans to Eat More Rabbit Meat
Breitbart.com ^ | 15 February 2015 | Dan Riehl

The New York Times dutifully, because Jeb Bush is a Republican, offers a long list of favors and advantages he took for himself as a member of his prominent political family.

It ranges from large to small, with something of a humorous item buried down the rabbit hole of the end of the article.

Readers can judge for themselves the significance of the large list. But this one seems to be something of a rabbit punch, if you will.

The stream of requests to the White House from Jeb Bush, a young but well-connected Republican leader in South Florida, ranged from the weighty and urgent to the parochial and mundane.

In one case, an entrepreneur who had attended a fund-raiser for a George Bush PAC in 1985 handed his son a letter requesting a contact at the Department of Agriculture to advance her business plan: increasing the consumption of domestic rabbit meat.

"...the parochial and mundane."

Pretty much sums up my perspective of the Jeb 2016.

Decades ago, my Great Uncle Alfred was a champion rabbit grower. He wanted to do the same thing. It just doesn’t happen; people aren’t interested in rabbit meat enough to get the cost down.

Another reason to be against Jeb. Not the lobbying, the lobbying on behalf of eating rabbit. I hate the taste of rabbit and half my family (myself not included) is violently allergic to it.

I like rabbit. We are toward the end of rabbit season, btw.

That said, Jeb Bush is still a looney tunes. Brer Rabbit, did you know being an illegal is an act of love?

Rabbit meat is OK, but there are too many bones...or should I say, not enough meat on the bones.

C’mon now. They’s meat on them bones. Less you been eatin’ starvin’ rabbits.

Gut it, skin it, cut into pieces, marinade with mix of soy sauce, whiskey, garlic, and sugar overnight. Bread, fry in bacon fat. Serve with taters and...of course....carrots.

I’ll have to tell my wife the recipe. She loves rabbit. In fact, she just cooked some the other day.

soy sauce, whiskey, garlic, and sugar overnight

1/2 cup
1/4 cup

Some like a 1/4 cup of diced onions in that marinade. And I firmly believe that Jack Daniels has a richer flavor for cooking that any other whiskey.

Oh, yeah, I marinade in a gallon plastic zip lock bag and flip it over a few times so everything gets in contact with the marinade.

... because Jeb Bush is a Republican ...

Jeb Bush is a RINO. But since he is calling himself a Republican, he is a media target.

It is always entertaining how surprising it is to RINOs when their friends in the press all turn on them. McCain was the lamestream media's favorite Republican, until he got the Republican presidential nomination and immediately became a pariah.

If you want a friend in Washington, buy a dog. If you want friends in the press, run as a Democrat.

Is this the same rabbit that attacked Jimmy Carter?

Depending on what you feed them, rabbits can be raised for meat for about .50 cents lb to $2 per lb.

I’d figure closer to $1.25 lb in the dressed rabbit. As a bonus they are super fast and easy to butcher.
