GOP Circular Firing Squad Guns for Marco's Booties.... "BANG BANG BANG!"




With all the loose money floating around backing the barely-on-the-radar Jeb! campaign, no doubt this was likely some of it well spent. Tear 'em down Bush people -- you aren't going to win, but you're knocking him out for any possible run down the line. bwahahahahah

Guess Marco should have reconsidered his bootie call....

how many current Republican primary voters remember the Nancy Sinatra tune.

And of those, how many liked it and how many didn't.

Jeb wants to trip Rubio, his handlers evidently convincing him that if Rubio is weakened, Jeb would pick up the ex-Rubio support.

I think Jeb isn't going to be picking up any support. He's in single digits two or three weeks before the first votes in the campaign are cast. He's burned a pile of money on ads to no effect. He's demonstrated that he's dull and witless and unable to connect emotionally with his audiences.

No amount of tiny turtle ceramics are going to put Jeb Bush in the White House.

For young folks here, a 45 rpm vinyl record was the way most songs were distributed in the 1950s and early 1960s.

the allure of that pop tune.

Nancy seemed to get the vibe just right.

Didn't she also do "You Only Live Twice" for the Bond flick?

composed this dumb ad, Dubya? It is just about the Bush level of "amusing". Maybe Babs thought of it, to help her "boy"?

Lee recognized that Nancy had limited vocal range and selected songs that had the same. His counters on "Summer Wine" and "One Velvet Morning" were fantastic.
