The Jebbish Cometh

Wow, that was fast. As I noted on Thursday, the new GOP rebranding effort is actually a re-emergence vehicle for the Bush Family, specifically the originally anointed one, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, the man who did everything in his power to seal his state for his brother back in the disputed, anti-democratic (small "d") 2000 Presidential election.

This is the elected official who had his election commissioner, glitzy hack Katherine Harris, remove 57,700 registered (mainly minority) voters from the rolls for crimes they did not commit and had state troopers blocking access for some minority voters.

If America votes in as President a third member of what Kitty Kelley called a bigger crime family than the Sopranos, after two failed Administrations (the latter most spectacularly), then we deserve all the big business and Christianist damage that follows.

Oh, and on his brother's greatest legacy, America as purveyor or torture, look, how the insiders are starting to leak out their differences...i.e. positioning for the official inquiry(ies) to come.

And why wouldn't they, when even fourth graders are calling them on it.
