Jeb jokes his mom was lucky there was no 'child-abuse hotline'
Politico ^ | 2/4/16 | NICK GASS

Former first lady Barbara Bush is "not as great as everybody thinks she is," Jeb Bush said during a lighter moment at a campaign event in Derry accompanied by his mother, in which he joked about her proclivity to discipline.

Recounting how many times people in New Hampshire have come up to him praising his mother, Bush made sure to emphasize just who was the disciplinarian in the Bush clan when he was growing up in Texas.

"I jokingly say that when we were growing up in Midland, in Houston, that mom was fortunate not to have a child-abuse hotline available," he said, as attendees laughed, explaining that "the discipline of learning right and wrong was her doing."

Jeb and his helicopter parents. Were the Bush children ever able to be their own people?

We think the same! I’ve never seen a politician so obsessed with his parents.

Gosh, the Yeb sure is a funny guy. Yeb should go on the comedy circuit—he’s a real hoot.

We watch Trump’s Portsmouth speech on FoxNews 10 out of Phoenix, and after it was over they switched over JEB!’s town hall. It was painful. We could only watch for a short while. Why anyone thought this guy was ready for prime time, I have no idea.

Did he have to tell his audience to "please laugh"?

If his followers are too stupid to recognize an applause line when they hear one they are probably too stupid to recognize a laugh line.

Yeb is such a funny guy. And child abuse is such a funny subject to joke about. I wonder if he has any good Terri Schiavo jokes.

Note To iYeb

Momma ain’t there to campaign with you.

She is there to drag you butt back home and quit embarrassing the Family. When she gets home she’s also going to smack H. right in the mouth for being the source of him.
