Te 2016 gaffe wars have finally begun. Oh, there have been gaffes before now in this presidential race, but the one Jeb Bush uttered on Wednesday — that in order to get our economy moving, "people need to work longer hours" — may be the first of this campaign's gaffes that is being accepted by both his political opponents and the media as terribly consequential ("Jeb Bush's 'Longer Hours' Remark Will Haunt Him," reads a headline at Time magazine). I may not have a lot of love for Jeb, but even this liberal is willing to say that on this one, he's getting a bum rap.

I won’t skewer Yeb Bush over that remark.
I’ll skewer hm for years of remarks that make it clear he holds illegal aliens in higher esteem than the citizens of this country.
Te 2016 gaffe wars .
Are off to a good start.
Yes! Work harder. Million of worthless govt employees, welfare recipients, assorted other leeches and arrogant members of the Oligarchy like Yob Bush are depending on you.
They didn’t mind skewering Perry over a brain fart.
“Liberal defends Jeb Bush.”
They are desperate that JEB head the right aisle of the Uniparty.
In the unlikely event that he wins, they still win.
LOL, good thing liberals always lie.
So says one liberal about the other liberal!
They definitely like him.
Hey,Just Jeb, shut up for a while!
“Don’t skewer Jeb Bush over half of a sentence”
I wont. I’ll combine the subject and predicate parts together and skewer him that way because I’m all about added value.
Good Lord that man looks like Mr. Potato Head. Skewer him for that alone.
“Don’t skewer Jeb Bush over half of a sentence”
Why not? They did it to Romney.
M-o-o-n.
That spells President.
Heh. No need to.
There’s PLENTY of other reasons to skewer RINO JEB.
It’s the press that’s making it a big deal, just as they did with Rubio drinking a glass of water at the podium.
Maybe they do need to work longer house and maybe they don’t. That position could probably be defended or refuted with the same data!
Plenty of other things wrong with ol Jebbie. This is not one of them.
It’s always good to skewer jebbush. He is a worthless globalist Dem lite.
My thoughts exactly.
What is being done with this comment will be what every candidate with an (R) behind their name will endure over and over again.
Adding our assent to the media's gotcha standards is not smart, it's what they will do to every candidate conservatives like, not just Jeb.
Attack him for his stupid positions that are full throated (lots of them), not his unartful slips. Cruz fired back at an interviewer who asked him about the Jeb slip up, and he attacked the media.
We should do the same.
