Just made the comparison between the 2 women. Mrs. Bush made a lavish jewelry purchase of $10,000. And she lives in a $1.3 townhome.

Tayraiza meanwhile spends massively more on personal expenses. And how many mansions do the Kerry's own? There is no comparison.

“Customs duties? I don’t have to pay no stinking customs duties, gringo.”

Mexicans don’t have to comply with U.S. laws, you see, because we hurt their feelings really bad when we beat them in 1848. Or something.....

Granted that Bush is probably heir to at least part of the Bush fortune I find it funny that American politicians hold public office and then become worth millions.

Maybe Jeb can jettison her in time for the primary?


Better to just jettison Jeb.

I don’t have the $$$ comparisons, but both are narcissistic, greedy Hispanic women.

That’s enough of a comparison for me.

Mrs. Bush made a lavish jewelry purchase of $10,000.

If you are referring to Columba Bush, she spent a heck of a lot more than $10,000 on jewelry. She spent nearly 3x that just on 2 Rolex watches.

[ See. It’s okay for the WaPo to do a hit piece on a Mexican...as long as that Mexican is Republican (albeit GOPe). ]

Are these leftist rags (who actually wouldn’t mind the Jebster as prez) attacking Jeb now in order to help ingratiate Jeb to the conservative base?

I really have to wonder if they are trying to attack him now to build the “MSM hates Jeb so the conservative Base will now love him” sorta thing going on...

They are not loans per se.....she just put them on a Mayor’s charge account. Rolex watches can be $25,000.00 or more a pop.

hehe

She was known to have spent more than $90,000 there within a week or two back around 2000 when their net worth was around $3 million.

It’s just meaningless snark, sure, but hiding big jewelry purchases from your husband by borrowing money is Lucy Show kind of funny.

Jeb Bush said the first lady had misled customs officials because she did not want him to know that she had spent about $19,000 on the trip.

We've had enough sleazy democrats in office, I sure as hell don't want RINO's that can't even be open and honest in their marriage in the White House.

Typical Praetorian Guard Media.

Never do they do articles like this on Democrats.

Funny thing is, leftist media are scared of JEB and think he’s a conservative.

She also spent a fortune on funding things here in Florida, ranging from museums to charitable activities.

And what’s wrong with her spending money on watches if she has it, which she obviously does? I wouldn’t buy watches if I had that money, but then, I probably wouldn’t buy what you would buy, either. Everybody’s different.

Her husband’s money didn’t come from being Governor of Florida, btw, and these weren’t official purchases. So why shouldn’t she buy what she wants with her own money?

What we don’t like about Michelle is that she is having the Federal Government (that is, us, the taxpayers) underwrite her jet-setting. Otherwise, I wouldn’t give a darn about what she did. If Barry had made money from excelling at a regular job and risen to be a CEO, or if he had invested well, or if he had actually done anything, that would be fine. But he has done nothing in his life, his wife’s one high-paid job was a no-show that his political cronies had arranged, and all of her money comes from his being the US President and her being able to tap into the bennies.

So that’s the difference.
