It turns out Moses never gave Jeb Bush a rifle.
The Republican presidential candidate has told crowds several times in the past year about receiving the National Rifle Association's Statesman of the Year award from Charlton Heston, the late Hollywood legend and former leader of the gun rights group who once played Moses in a movie.
"You know who you're lookin' at here? You're looking at the guy who won the NRA Statesman of the Year award," Bush said last month at a town hall in Milford, N.H. "Not the Florida award. The national award. And I got a rifle from Charlton Heston, I got a rifle from Moses."
But he never received the award, nor a rifle from Heston, his campaign said on Monday.

I'll have to admit I didn't actually receive a "Yeb For President" button from his own hand on the deck of the Lusitania. I just sort of remembered it that way. Could happen to anybody.

Why do politicians and public figures lie about such insignificant things? Ole frog and scorpion — it is their nature, it is what they do.
Why embellish a resume with things that are easily checked in these times of near-instant Internet search capabilities?

It turns out Moses never gave Jeb Bush a rifle. Jeb turned so red from embarrassment that he will be known as the "burning bush"?

Jeb! received the ward during the Fog of War the Red Sea parting so he might have been a wee tad confused.

Jeb was sitting next to Hillary as they landed under sniper fire, and Moses handed him the NRA Commemorative Rifle just before Jeb ducked down and sprinted for safety. You can see the bullet passing over Hillary's head as she ducks down to protect the little girl. Jeb and Charlton Heston have been cropped out of this picture, but they were in the original.

Marion Hammer, who preceded Heston as NRA leader, confirmed on Monday that Bush did not receive the rifle from Heston but instead from Lee Hammill, a man who had made the rifle for the occasion.
âThe script was read, the rifle was presented to Gov. Bush from the NRA and Lee Hammill handed it to him. Not Mr. Heston,â she said.

After Pappy Bush’s snub of the NRA in the early 90s, no Bush should be allowed to darken the door of any NRA Award banquet or convention. Even Mos Eisley didn’t contain as many crap weasels as Bushtown, Maine.
