Jeb Bush heckled over Iraq at Iowa State Fair
WMTW CNN ^ | 8/14/15 | Tal Kopan and Ashley Killough

Posted on 08/14/2015 9:34:38 AM PDT by jimbo123

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush's brother's legacy in the Iraq War continued to haunt his candidacy Friday, when he faced questions from an audience at the Iowa State Fair about his relationship to the policies of President George W. Bush.

One of the fair-goers asked the Republican presidential candidate during his appearance on the Des Moines Register Soapbox whether he was being advised by Paul Wolfowitz, George W. Bush's deputy secretary of defense and the architect of his Iraq War policy.

Jeb Bush tried to spin the question away from his legacy as the son and brother of the last two Republican presidents, but he did so awkwardly.

"Paul Wolfowitz is providing some advice," Bush said. "I get most of my advice from a team that we have in Miami, Florida. Young people that are going to be ... they're not assigned, have experience either in Congress or the previous administration."

He continued: "This game, the parlor game that's played, you know, where you have 25, 30 or 40 people that are helping you with foreign policy, and if they have any executive experience, they've had to deal with two Republican administrations -- who were the people that were presidents, the last two Republican? I mean, this is kind of a tough game for me to be playing, to be honest with you."

“I get most of my advice from a team that we have in Miami, Florida. Young people that are going to be ... they’re not assigned, have experience either in Congress or the previous administration.”

Then you ARE a moron, Jebbo. And a fairly inarticulate one at that. But we knew that. Jeb is entirely a put-up candidate so that Karl Rove can make money with his PAC. I mean, it’s stupid-sick. He has zero appeal. He doesn’t even halfway want the job. Oh yeah, did I mention he’s a moron?

Jeb calling the Iraq war “kind of a good deal”....I predict this will be:

“Read my lips....no new Taxes”
“There’s that 47%”
“Womens’ bodies know not to get pregnant when they are raped”.

That was simply the stupidest comment imaginable BUT YOU CAN TELL the media wants Jeb to be the nominee, because otherwise they would be reporting it ad nauseum. it would be a 24-hour screen-scroll at CNN.

Jeb can thank Dubya for never fighting back against his critics.

Ha ha, Manuel.

It’s ludicrous and leftist anti-semitism to demonize Wolfowitz, typical leftist carp.

But ha ha at Jeb, hoisted on his own petard.

So, Jeb panders to the crowd....

“So here’s the deal: my email address, write it down and send me your thoughts: jeb@jeb.org,” he said, noting he had made his email address and archives available as governor of Florida as well.

Jeb doesn’t understand two things:

1. Hillary isn’t going to be the RAT nominee

2. He isn’t going to be the GOP nominee

Crumbling under pressure like Peter Russo in House of Cards.

The Chosen One couldn’t hold his own in a corporate boardroom. Fail!

No. Illegal aliens. I mean, they have lots of foreign experience, right?

A shining example of the incestuous nature of D.C. politics.

Bush III: A hundred pounds heavier with the same congenital verbal dyslexia, but with none of the foreign policy experience (I) or good ‘ol boy aw shucks charm (II). Just a large puffy nothing.

Jeb is like Britney Spears looking to her publicist for the “correct” answer.

Like a deer caught in the headlights.

Except Britney may be more pro-American, lol.

Jeb Bush, in all seriousness, is not ready for prime time.

W, for all his faults, was a 100x better campaigner.

Jeb can thank Dubya for never fighting back against his critics.

And W can thank Rove for advising him not to fight back.

Dubya's biggest fault was not to stand up for himself, his administration, and the people who voted for him.

Jeb is weak and it shows when he can't stand up for his brother.
