"Jeb" Bush: "Vindictive, Untrustworthy Coward"*

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.
