Jebbers...on the downward slide towards a whopping 1% in the polls. But, hey, we should be especially honored as there’s a whole lotta other, more cool stuff he could be doing right now.

Surrender, Jebbers!

Is he still running?

Someone get Barbara Bush on the phone and have her stop him before he embarrasses himself on TV again.
