The voters gave Jeb Bush the snub
He joins an embarrassing club
The bright spot is that
Because he fell flat
We won't face return of the Shrub

Well, HW wasn't terrible. W was appalling. If he'd been more like his father he would have at least been better than any of the remaining candidates.
ReplyDeleteBut whatever image he was presenting, it's fair to assume that a JEB! administration would have been a continuation of his brother's presidency, staffed by exactly the same people.
ReplyDeleteBush and poll.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that his campaign cost 150 million makes me nauseous
ReplyDeleteFortunate that we managed to "Stay Out The Bushes" this time, at least.
ReplyDeleteAlso, are we convinced W was actually that bad? Wasn't he just a pawn to Cheney? Incompetent - sure
ReplyDeleteI don't know if Jeb would have been good or bad. But I definitely prefer not to have such blatant family dynasties become entrenched.
ReplyDeleteDavid Smith That was plenty bad enough.
ReplyDeleteI would argue that pawn to Cheney == that bad.
ReplyDeleteI still have to wonder why he even bothered. All other factors aside, there is still way too much stigma against having another Bush in office for him to have even had a chance.
ReplyDeleteAre there any more Bush's hiding that I don't know about? Under the bushes perhaps? 😎
ReplyDeleteThey have a Bush breeding program in full swing....

Richard Taylor People who are used to their wealth opening every door will not give up that presumption easily or soon.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry, but the only thing I could think of, while reading your limerick, was Mr. Snrub.
ReplyDeleteI think it's good that Jeb quit the race though.
