o Jeb Bush might be running for president. The rest of the world must be howling with laughter.
Apparently, the American political establishment isn't just afraid of new ideas, it's afraid of new people. It wants things so much the same, it's seeking blood guarantees, like the old Euro aristocracies that sealed military alliances with marriages. It's pathetic, and if Bush-Clinton turns out to be the general election menu, it's going to make kleptocratic paradises like the Soviet Union or the PRC look like vibrant democracies in comparison.
And man, could anything be less exciting, less of an inspiration to get the vote out than that lineup? "Vote 2016! Nothing Ever Changes!" People will stay home and hand-remove their own moles before dragging themselves to vote in that contest.
The news kicked off a heated debate in the blogosphere over what Bush's run will mean for conservatives, who will have spent eight painful years waiting to unseat the black Satan and probably had not planned on settling for anything short of a violent repudiation of his administration. Unsurprisingly, the reaction from the base to Jeb's announcement ranged from mild nausea to outright hysteria.
Probably the funniest bit was on Breitbart.com, where preeminent military-thriller author Brad Thor took time out from talking about himself in the third person and fictionally thwarting elaborate presidential-kidnap plots to denounce Jeb's entrance in the race. "If Jeb Bush is the nominee, I will never vote Republican again," he promised, via Twitter.

Then John, perhaps you should explain it. If I’m not getting it, there are probably others who aren’t either.
Jeb's stock just went way up.
We need a rolling stone, tiger beat, auto trader, ebony magazine, Algonquin Round table show on Sunday am political TV
That would be an improvement.
This is Rolling Stone.
Their interest is in a more entertaining election than Clintoon verses Booosh.

An odd bit of true black and white from RS, but this is still a world of shadows and shades of grey.
YOW!!!
Rolling Stone will sell more issues if they have a strong conservative to bash and badmouth on a monthly basis.
I think they have something like it already. Its called TMZ.
violent repudiation of his administration
That’s the only solution left. But it will never happen because it could never succeed. All of the firepower worships Obama.
That was cruel.
You either forgot the /sarc tag or you clearly do not possess critical thinking skills.
Regardless of what Rolling Stones says, I will never cast a vote for an arrogant GOPe like Bush.
A solid conservative foundation will not crack under pressure.
Well the media can go suck it. Already calming Jeb is the front runner when nobody is even running yet.
Rinos are the blowhards who switch positions on a whim basically always from conservative to dumbocrat.
The people have the say not the party. It is up to the people.
Amen.
Remember Jeb gave Hillary an award. Rinos prefer Dumbocrats.
Democrat women are ugly inside and out.
