As the passengers in the Republican clown car piled on fellow clown Rand Paul for his opposition to the PATRIOT Act, Jeb! Bush dropped some real doozies. As in, statements based on fantasy, not fact.
"What I admire most about my brother was he kept us safe. And I believe people will respect him for a long time because of that."
Kept us safe! Does Jeb! think that we're all going to forget that the Worst Person Who's Ever Lived presided over 9/11? That his famous response to the CIA officer who delivered the August 6, 2001 Presidential Daily Brief was "Okay, you've covered your ass now"?
And here's the other Jebbian gem, addressed more or less to Paul: "I know what will happen if there is an attack on our country. A lot of people [will] say, 'Where were you?'"
And where was the Worst Person on September 11? Reading My Pet Goat in a Florida schoolroom. Of course, that was before he hopped on Air Force One and scampered around the country like a scared rabbit.
We cats never cease to be amazed how the Worst Person gets a pass on this. We hope, sincerely hope, that on the day that Bob Schieffer is claiming that the press wasn't "skeptical enough" of candidate Barack Obama in 2008, some journalist somewhere has the balls to ask Jeb! about these outrages in 2016. "Kept us safe"! We cats HISS.
