Forbes again:
But Hurricane Katrina is also a particularly bad Bush family nickname. Theres something very odd about Jeb Bush specifically evoking the nickname thing in this context, because of his brothers famous comment to FEMA director Michael Brown, the recipient of his own Bush nickname, when emergency management had totally fallen apart: Brownie, youre doing a heck of a job.
Once again Bush has stumbled into the dusty room of his brothers presidency. Why does it keep happening? Few people these days are actively contemplating a third Bush in the White House. But Jeb obviously is. And when he contemplates it, on some level his brain stops working. He cant erase or defend the disasters that haunt George W. Bushs two terms. But he cant condemn them either. So we end up with ambivalent and in this case, weirdly inappropriate statements. Everybody knows where the minefields are, yet he keeps wandering into them anyway.
The sob thinks he is so deservedly clever and entitled to adoration.
I can't recall a politician as tone deaf and repulsive as this one.

Along with the fetal alcohol syndrome you mention, that's the only way I can explain the level of obvious brain damage exhibited in that family.
