Oh, the Irony Is Just Too Rich; JEB! Edition

Jeb Bush, facing increasing pressure in South Carolina after lackluster showings in early contests, brought his older brother, George W. Bush, and the former first lady, Laura Bush, to vouch for his decency and judgment here in a race that has been driven in recent weeks by coarse language, anger and personal insults.
Asking Dubya to vouch for anyone's decency would be like asking Bernie Madoff to vouch for someone's honesty.

Or has everyone forgotten that Bush's campaign smeared John McCain in South Carolina by spreading rumors that McCain was crazy, his wife was a lesbian and that McCain had fathered a black kid? Few national politicians can do the job while holding onto their honor, but Bush shredded his like it was cheap toilet paper.

  1. Yeah, all that may be true. But he could read "My Pet Goat" upside down while protecting the United States from 9-11, (Just ask JEB!) so give him a pass.

  2. And in even more irony, Trumps campaign is suing Cruz's over an attack ad.

    “Your attack ad is not only completely disingenuous, but replete with outright lies, false, defamatory and destructive statements and downright fabrications,” the letter read.

  3. Maybe it's just me, but I think George W is looking pale and seedy. Bill Clinton looks frail and sick but GW just looks bad.

  4. A political ad full of falsehoods and lies? Oh, the vapours!

    Bill Clinton went vegan a few years back. And Dubya's filthy soul is just waiting for Collection Day.
