Jeb Bush brings his mommy onto the campaign trail with him, and then jokes that she was an abusive parent. Yeah that should help.

Courtesy of Mediaite:

Jeb Bush brought his mother Barbara Bush to a campaign rally in New Hampshire tonight and made things just a teensy bit awkward. 

Bush said he’s heard from plenty of people about how much they love his mother, before saying, “She’s not as great as everybody thinks she is. I can tell you that one.” 

“I jokingly say,” he quipped, “that when we were growing up in Midland and Houston that mom was fortunate not to have a child abuse hotline available, because the discipline of learning right and wrong was her doing.”

"Hey everybody here's my mom, but she's not really that great, and she used to beat the shit out of me when I was a kid. Hey vote for me!"

But don't worry about how awkward that was, because his Right to Rise SuperPAC completely outdid it by having his brother, you know the guy who trashed the economy and started two unnecessary wars that cost thousands of American lives, make a commercial for him.

See now you completely forgot about the fact that Barbara Bush used to physically abuse her children, because now you are in shock that anybody would think that having George W. Bush make a commercial for his brother was a good idea.

What's on the agenda for tomorrow? Will one of Jeb's kids talk about how their father's parenting forced them into a life of drug addiction?

Because you know that's a thing too.

    Not a word would be said if he had brought "Daddy" on stage with him; that is okay? that is manly? ....so why a double standard?

      I think Daddy is too frail now for the Jebster to trot (or wheel, more likely) out on stage.

      In addition to which, Daddy lost his own presidency to Hillary Clinton's hubby. Not a good reminder for Jebby to invoke.

      12:36, you are right. Trotting Babs on stage with all that sagging skin, but pearls! is bad enough but dragging Poppy out for everyone to see him drool and stammer would be a bit much.

      Barbara is using a walker, with a Jeb! bumper sticker on it!!.Saw that on the news tonight. With his poll numbers in the toilet, why is he included in the debates, I wonnder? Is the "fix" already in?

    5. Having an ex-president stump for, be it Father or Brother (or husband) makes more sense then hauling out your Mommy.

      It's like he did it just to expose and embarrass her in public. Payback for an abusive childhood. If he can't be President, he can at least get some revenge before she's dead or too senile to know what he's done.

    Poor Babs had her hands full with all those children. I'm sure servants did most of the work.

      Kitty Kelly's book about the Bushes is a great read. She depicts GHWB as a very absent parent who was gone a lot (and cheating on Babs a lot), leaving Babs holding the parenting bag. She wasn't a nurturing mother. I'm not surprised by Jeb's passive aggressiveness.

      Babs should have known better than to tell them from the very beginning that they were presidential material

      GHW wanted to divorce Babs, to marry is mistress of 10 years, Jennifer Fitzgerald. He was rold he would never be President with a divorce under his belt (he was no Ronnie Raygun) so he stayed married, but travelled with Jennifer.

    Just guessing here but I'll bet his old man gave him the back of his hand more than than once. That might explain !Jeb!'s constant brain farts.

    There is much truth in humor; she was probably not a happy person and took her anger at her philandering husband out on her children.

  7. Sheer poetry:

    "Combining the sex appeal of Gertrude Stein after a five-mile jog, the maternal instinct of Magda Goebbels, and the weight and heft of the Steel Curtain member of your choosing, she has also achieved the unique distinction of the worst human being currently breathing free air.

    "As the balls behind the throne of the inexplicable Bush dynasty, she rules with an un-calloused, but defiantly masculine fist so unassailable that no one has dared challenge her authority. Despite never having worked a day in her life, she tirelessly pushes each and every Bush male through the “Babs Gauntlet”, whereby slightly effete, unfocused, pampered blue bloods are transformed into hardened, cock-swinging evangelists of power and greed.

    " ...the matriarch, yes, but also the most muscular, carnivorous demon ever to claim a set of ovaries." - Matt Cale, ruthlessreviews, 3/28/06

    If the political career doesnt go well - and there's overwhelming evidence it won't - I really think he has some nascent talent for stand-up comedy. I mean, Louis C.K. has nothing to worry about, but every little town along every interstate has a Ramada Inn lounge with a Tuesday night open mic night. I STRONGLY urge JEB! to abandon his doomed quixotic campaign to be president and try another career. And since prop comedy must surely be ready for a popular resurgence, I have only one word for JEB!: "CARROTTOP"

      Not to worry Poppy's rich friends always come through when one of his useless spawn needs a "job". After this fiasco, the name may have taken a very large dip in popularity.

    2. He has to stick it out in case the fix is in. Remember the brokered convention? Of course, that may have gone by the wayside as far as Jeb! is concerned. He's doing so poorly now they could never put him on the ticket now.

    Either Barbara Bush was not good at teaching her kids right from wrong or she is living proof that beating your kids to submission doesn't work. Much the same way that torture doesn't work, George and Jeb.
