Jeb Bush told my colleague, ABC’s Teddy Davis, that he likes what President Obama is doing on education:

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) lavished praise on President Barack Obama’s education policies on Thursday, telling ABC News that the Democrat who succeeded his brother in the White House has broken from the teachers’ unions and should be applauded by conservatives.

There's that word "passionate" again.

Jebster's political aspirations ended when Terri Schiavo's water and food were cut off.

Bummer for the Jebster.
And when he resurfaced with on the latest Romney tour (for about 10 minutes)they found out what the term "less than ZERO" chance meant.

Hey politicians! Do you want to make sure you are NEVER a viable Presidential candidate for the Republican Party? Just say the words; “Obama is on the right track”, and PRESTO! You are done. Now and forever. Bye now!

I just don’t get it. What is it about the elites that they have to, need to, kiss liberal ass? It shouldn’t surprise me.

Then they freak out when we support someone with guts, like Palin or Bachmann. Two women with more balls than all these limp-wristed idiots.

Obama ended the DC voucher program. Strike 1. Obama wants kids to spend 33% more time in school so that they can become more indoctrinated to loving the state and learn to hate the concept of education even more than they do now. Strike 2.

Yet another transporter accident, and Jeb has found himself in a different universe than the one he's commenting on.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
