Jeb Bush Is Dead Wrong on Zombies
CNN ^ | Thu July 9, 2015 | Dean Obeidallah

Zombies are coming to the 2016 presidential race! No, there isn't a zombie presidential candidate -- at least not yet. But thanks to Jeb Bush, we will likely be hearing the word "zombie" a great deal over the next year. Why?

Well, Bush penned an article Monday claiming that: "Barack Obama's policies have given us a zombie economy where no matter what else happens, most Americans are falling behind."

The media immediately latched on to the term "zombie economy." But what exactly is a "zombie economy"? Some turned to economists for answers. But I went to a better source: A zombie expert. Yep, I reached out to Max Brooks, author of the best-selling books "World War Z," which became a hit feature film last summer, and "The Zombie Survival Guide."

I have known Brooks for years, since our days working together in the mid-2000s at "Saturday Night Live." I can tell you first hand this guy knows zombies inside and out. And I can also tell he's not the least bit happy with Bush's use of the word zombie. Why? As Brooks made clear, when it comes to understanding zombies, Bush is dumber than a person whose brain has been infected by the zombie virus and who has already transformed into a walking dead creature solely fixated upon consuming the flesh, and especially brains, of living human beings.

We have a zombie economy with a 42.9% unemployment rate.

We see the see government zombies on the dole out there protesting conservative traditions, values and laws.

Plus, we are seeing more and more smartphone zombies that walk around outdoors without looking up and around themselves, even when crossing street.

Glad I’m stocked up on Zombie Max ammo!

Am I the only one that remembers Jeb's dad ( with an arrogant snotty sneer) calling Reagan's economic plan (and then later his as VP) VOODOO economics?

There;s only one reason Reagans plan will never be tried again...IT WORKED!
