I'm thinking he'll play the Ned Beatty role in a dinner theater production of DELIVERANCE or become a birthday party clown like John Wayne Gacy since that's the only way he could up his creepiness factor.

too bad about that last name.

(118,285 posts)in which the Repubs have pretended they never heard of the Bushes, and I doubt if that'll change
I'd be thrilled if Jebbie would run, of course, cuz I think the whole country would projectile-vomit at the thought of a third Bush gangsta in the White House -- but I can't believe the Repubs would be that stupid

(903 posts)so much so- that it wouldn't surprise me if they have a much smaller number of people running in their primaries, to avoid all the 'long knife' fights, and let jeb advance to the nomination unscathed, and with the pugs united around him.

(39,405 posts)This kind of New Age babble would be embarrassing from a Democrat, and probably eliminate him in the primaries. In fundamentalist circles, this is a half step below sacrifice your children to Baal.
Here are Bush's words, spoken before hundreds of lawmakers and politicians:
''Chang is a mystical warrior. Chang is somebody who believes in conservative principles, believes in entrepreneurial capitalism, believes in moral values that underpin a free society.
''I rely on Chang with great regularity in my public life. He has been by my side and sometimes I let him down. But Chang, this mystical warrior, has never let me down.''

Somebody has to jerk those boars off.
And they better be good at it! Nothing crankier than a sexually frustrated boar.

(9,323 posts)At least not in the swing states where they need right wing wacko turnout to be high. Does he have any other cards to play? Terrorism (aka invade as many countries as possible) won't work. No one wants to see that anymore. He's got nothing else to offer. His tricks are old and stale.
