Jeb Bush carries turtles in his pocket while out on the campaign trail in New Hampshire.

Campaigning in Portsmouth, New Hampshire on Wednesday, alluding to Aesop's Fable of the tortoise and the hare, Bush explained he gives the turtles out to kids because he is embracing the phrase "slow and steady wins the race."

Bush doesn't just keep turtles in his pocket, he told reporters, "I have a bunch of turtles. I got the little baby Jesus, I got my rosary beads and I got three turtles."

Is that a turtle in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

Well....at least he got the first three letters of the word right. Because that’s all he really has.

Bob Dole used to carry a card with the tenth amendment printed on it in his pocket...that was just for show, too.

I've got a pocketknife, and a bottlecap, and a really neat rock I found.

When he’s 93 and rocking slowly at the home, he’ll be caressing a worn plastic turtle, “Slow and steady, any day now, slow and steady...”

Bob Dole used to carry a pen in his hand..he was wounded during WWII and his hand would not close right..

the pen would camouflage the way his hand was paralyzed..

More appropriate traveling companions for amigo Jeb would be a slug in one pocket and a snake in the other.

rosary, pix, at least one set of earbuds, prayer book -— hmmm no, you don’t want to know all the stuff I have in my purse. Once I went through a security check with a banana in my purse. I had to take it out of my purse to prove it was a banana and not a gun. True story.

I got a magnifying glass, a bandaid that fell off, and a plastic army man. One of the cool ones with the flamethrower.

Top that.

He can have Barb cook him up a batch of turtle soup when all of this is over.

This is just simply the last embarrassing straw, Jeb truly needs some mental health help.....I am not saying that because I oppose him. The man is a child, surely someone in his family would tell him to quit for the good of what’s left of the family name. How much more can they take?

Those aren’t turtles; they’re his campaign consultants.
