It seems that nothing will cure Republicans of their holier-than-thou, we-know-better entitled tendencies. How else do you explain Jeb! Bush's belief that a little shame can cure society's ills — especially when it comes to the behavior of women?
This makes us cats want to hack up a hairball. Not just because it is totally not Jeb! Bush's business who got pregnant and by whom and when, but because the Bush clan is so, so, so not qualified to throw stones, living in the huge glass houses that they do.
After all, how it can be anything but fair to mandate shame for:
- Columba, for her extravagant spending, her violation of US Customs laws, and her hiding of same from her husband, to whom (according to Republican evangelical belief) she must submit?
- Noelle, for her moral weakness, her drug and alcohol addictions, and the probable dicey behavior she engaged in to score more drugs?
- George P., for his aggressive womanizing as a young man in Tallahassee (when his dad was moral arbiter in the state of Florida at the time)?
- Jeb, Jr., Mr. GOP ambassador to the millennial generation, for his undisclosed but rumored "troubles" as a teen?
- And let's throw in brother Neil and his underage Thai prostitutes for good measure!
