Now that serial flip-flopping plutocrat Willard "Lord Mittens" Romney has (for now) taken his name out of consideration for the Republican/ New Confederate/ Stupid/ White Supremacist Party's presidential nomination, John Ellis "J.E.B." Bush has one less competitor for the role of "establishment" favorite. We hope that will engender a re-discovery by those with short-term memories of the former Florida governor's most egregious pander to the ultra-right: the Terry Schiavo case.
We'll let Terry's husband Michael Schiavo sum things up:
Sitting recently on his brick back patio here, Michael Schiavo called Jeb Bush a vindictive, untrustworthy coward.
For years, the self-described “average Joe” felt harassed, targeted and tormented by the most important person in the state.
“It was a living hell,” he said, “and I blame him.” (our emphasis)The linked article by Karoli at "Crooks and Liars" brings out five facts embedded in the underlying Politico piece that more accurately describe Bush not as a "moderate" but as a hypocrite and a hard-core right-winger who should never be allowed anywhere near the Oval Office. Worth a read.
*BONUS: Also, privileged stoner and bully.
