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."

Gee Jeb. That’s as funny as . . . . . . . . . . . . . child abuse.

What until he learns we now have wireless phones. ;)

I don’t do </sarc> tags.

I should have said “That’s Pathetic”

[ponygirl]

Oh, ouch. And totally deserved, I might add.

[PJBankard]

Fair. I would have still used the same statement, substituting pathetic for hilarious.

Yeb! just keeps getting weirder and weirder, he better quit before he has a complete breakdown in front of a national television audience.

I can’t even begin to craft a response to your post.

I think you just won the internet.

I've never seen men in their late 60s so obsessed with their parents. W is the same way.

Yeb, "Little Jebbie"tm "Tippy Toes" had to hide behind his mommy's skirt again here in NH today! What a looser, momma's boy. His NH "town hall gathering" consisted of the usual NH RINO suspects and mommy showed up right on cue to tell the luke warm, baked over, paltry "crowd" what a "good, & decent man/boy" he is. He looked, and it was: PATHETIC! The mommy ploy literally reeked of DESPERATION!

As a NH Republican voter, the whole sordid affair was a "YUUUGE" turn off and vivid reminder of why our entire extended family will definitely never, ever vote for Yeb, "Little Jebbie"tm "Tippy Toes" in either the primary or general election under any circumstances.

The contrast between TRUMP and "Little Jebbie"tm "Tippy Toes" couldn't have been more striking and stark than the speeches they both gave in NH today. All anyone need do is run a split screen of both the TRUMP and "Little Jebbie"tm "Tippy Toes" speaking events at the same held today; even with the sound off: High energy vs turtle speed low/no energy; TRUMP wins in a landslide!

Carefully watch "Little Jebbie"tm "Tippy Toes" expressions while he speaks and while his mommy is praising him and imploring the thin, low-energy crowd to "Vote for Yeb!": He looks WEAK and INSIPID; like Droopy Dog with his hang-dog, lifeless, pleading expression.
