Okay, we cats realize we can't write every post about "Transvaginal Bob" McDonnell, as tempting as that might be. So let's take a moment to consider "Jeb!" Bush.
Little Jebbie Fatface (our real nickname for him is unprintable here) has been resigning from boards like crazy lately, trying to make himself look "moderate" enough for general election voters in 2016. What everyone seems to be forgetting is that Jeb! must first try to appeal to the right-wing, whacko, crazy-eyed jackasses who vote in Republican primaries. And those voters are having no truck with him.
One big reason is Terri Schiavo — or, as they call her, Terri Schindler-Schiavo. (Or just Terri Schindler. Wipe Michael Schiavo out of the record books if you can, folks.)
See, while the rest of America (the normal part) thinks that the Republicans' and George and Jeb! Bush's behavior in the Schiavo drama 10 years ago was repellent — a sizable contingent of the GOP's teabag wing thinks so, too: for the opposite reason. In their view, the Bushes let Terri Schiavo die!!
Want proof? Here are just a few choice comments from our favorite wingnut friends over at Free Republic:
"If Jeb Bush gets the GOP nomination for president in 2016, I will probably write in Terri Schindler in November."
"Jeb (Killer) Bush actually had state troopers on the way to rescue her and turned them back for some perverse reason...I heard the air hissing out of the Republicans’ balloon upon the killing of Terri Schiavo. Terri is when the Republicans doomed themselves."
"I'm sorry, but I take character into account when I vote for a candidate, and Jeb Bush is wanting in this department."
"Jeb Bush could have saved her. He didn’t. Instead, he pretended to stall until it was too late."
So excuse us, Pundit World — but with these nutbags running the base of the Republican Party, Jeb! Bush is going to get the 2016 nomination exactly... how? We cats wonder. And of course we PURR.
