Goodness gracious. That exclamation point at the end of Jeb! Bush's name is becoming a gasp of horror.
"I’m not sure we need a half a billion dollars for women’s health issues," Jeb! haplessly opined to the Southern Baptist thingy this afternoon. And the world went crazy: Hillary tweeted, Democrats pounced, and the Jeb! campaign had to backtrack and explain and clarify.
Could the timing of this be worse? It's the same day that:
POLITICO openly speculates that Jeb! is the second coming of Michael Dukakis.
The New York Times reports that fewer than half of eligible patients are receiving an innovative chemo treatment for ovarian cancer. (NOTE: Men don't get ovarian cancer.)
Bush is coming off an awkward, lackluster performance at last night's Voters First Forum in New Hampshire.
So, let's think about this for a second. We cats are no fans of Donald Trump, but it's occurred to us that when Trump made an unforced error ("John McCain is not a war hero"), the punditocracy and the GOP all pronounced him done.
How many unforced errors has Jeb! had? How many does he get? And it's only now that he's getting the bad headlines? It kinda makes you wonder. We cats HISS.
