Why is Jeb going to tour the tsunami destruction?

[Minimus]

I have not been following the news in the last few days but I caught a snippet this A.M. about Jeb heading over there.

What's up with that?

[HEyHEY]

1. He's planning to run for pres and wants to look like he gives a shit

[proud patriot]

2. He's campaining

:think:

[TaleWgnDg]

3. Why? Because John Ellis Bush (JEB) is *'s brother . . .

and will wring this for all he (and they) can get.

.

[elperromagico]

4. Because the Bush boys like to study the destruction of others

in order to improve their own destructive efforts.

[ohioliberal]

5. They think since he has experience with

devastation from the hurricanes he can organize things. What a laugh, he's only going over there to make himself look good in the repukes eyes for 2008.:puke:

[Proud2BAmurkin]

6. Because the U.S. has a royal family or haven't you heard

.

[Minimus]

13. I was wondering if I missed that announcement too.

7. He's experiencing withdrawal from disaster tours after hurricane season

ended.

It's posturing, plain and simple. In reality, he's doing the same thing he did when he toured some areas of Florida. Getting in the way of people trying to do relief work.

Sorry, but this is one of my pet peeves. Politicians and celebrities should stay the hell out of disaster areas and let people on the ground get their work done. The presence of an entourage creates an even greater strain on already strained resources and distribution activity. The hotel rooms being used to lodge JEB and cronies could be put to better use.

Just my opinion.

Call me "Double Bushwhacked in Florida" Hmmmm...now that would be quite a screen name.

15. I thought that was the other brother's MO.

[colonel odis]

9. because he's running for president and w. would like that plane to crash.

think about it ..... a secretary of state they hate. a little brother who's imminently more likeable (though just as sleazy) and a whole lot smarter.

jeb bush is the last person on earth, w. wants to see in the oval office.

i look for a tragedy in the days ahead.

[illflem]

10. Why did the stingy chimp land on an aircraft carrier?

to answer one question with another that has the same answer.

[intheflow]

11. The officila word is because he has so much experience w/disaster relief

from Florida's hurricanes.

In reality, I think it's because they're priming him for a presidential run in '08 and this will give him some "international" experience. x(

[Minimus]

17. Thanks for all the answers. I seriously thought I missed some

announcement that Jeb is now on some special committee or part of his bro's cabinet.

Nothing to see here, just a political stunt, starting the campaign early.

Geez, I can't believe this country would vote another bush into office. But I still can't believe W is president.

My depression grows deeper yet.

[Fridays Child]

12. Scoping out potential contracts for his Florida mob buddies.

[Pam-Moby]

14. They believe

that they are building a family dinasty and this is an opportunity for jib to show off. Little do they know that once Georgie is gone that is it for that family on the seen!!!! If I can help it!!

[Democrats_win]

18. Dynasty: Steven "Jeb" Carrington had an accident in Indonesia.

Dynasty fans recall how they switched actors after the oilrig fire. Karl Rove will star as Jeb bush (#2)

[birdsmedicine]

16. They say

it's because of his experience with the 4 hurricanes. He really did do a fantastic job! I live here, I know. But the real reason is he's being groomed to run for president. Better be careful, Jeb is very likable. Unlike his brother, he speaks well, commands attention, is efficient and smart. His approval ratings were astronomical after the hurricanes and still are high! I'd be worried if Jeb ran for president, he's got Florida in the bag! But, he has the baggage of Noel, his daughter, which may keep him from running (I hope).

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

20. Well looks like his brother had FL "in the bag" too as a result of Jeb

[ocnhous]

25. absolutely!

Senior citizens here saw George Bush and Jeb Bush handing out bags of ice and talking with them and it sealed Kerry's fate. Very few people even mentioned Kerry's name after that. The hurricanes helped Bush get re-elected!

21. How dare you bring up dirty laundry like that?!?

His crackwhore daughter is off limits.

19. To film commercials and photo-ops for his 2008 Prez run...

[youngred]

23. because he has experience in dealing with disasters

and it gives him some foreign policy chops when he's looking to run for President

[Mabeline]

28. I had heard he was going because of his

experience dealing with disasters. And hey, if he can be of any assistance, good on him. But I just don't see him running for president in '08...he'd not win in IMO.

[youngred]

29. He won't run in 08

but '12 and '16 would be great for him. make no mistake he has the ambition, the political machine, and money to do it

[Mabeline]

31. Might be interesting to see...

depending on who the democrat running against his was. Any ideas?

[youngred]

32. I'm focusing on the mid-terms now

I think it's better to let a leader or two emerge over the next three years before we start promoting a candidate right now.

[klyon]

24. to keep him in the news

then Chenney steps down, his heart you know
then Jeb becomes VP, the brothers grim
then cheats again to become Pres.

[flordehinojos]

26. jeb bush's experience with hurricane disaster relief in florida is that of

giving the relief money to the areas and the people who were hardly hit by the hurricane, keeping it from those areas and people who were hit the hardest and need it the most, and lastly keeping much of the money in the bank vaults without releasing the money. PLUS... the buhses want to power grab the world and what better way to leave some bush stinky pooh than to send JEB along to know that they the bushes are a reckoning force (who are hated by most) in this world.

[Lucille]

27. Neil knows the lay of the land

but he's recently remarried and couldn't tear himself away from his bride. So they sent Jeb.

[Annus Horribilis]

30. Because 2008 is right around the corner
