I know this is a couple of days old by now, but I'm still squinting at this one, trying to make sense of it. Help me, please.
The Presnit went to Florida, and while he wasn't doing that awkward three-some thing with his brother and Katherine Harris, he happened to mention that brother Jeb would make a great president, that he hopes his brother will run....
Okay, is this some other-world-reality thing with Bush? Him refusing to admit his popularity rating is at a glorious 31 percent? And that he won't go down as the worst president in history, and that he's destroyed any hope of anyone named Bush ever being elected President again? (I posted a dairy several days ago -- does Bush know he's at 32 percent? Is it possible for Mr. I'm-Never-Wrong to even comprehend that? Would he dismiss it as simply not real? Pretend it hasn't happened?)
And I was making a joke, but then he went to Florida and acted like he was offering his brother a chanced to run on Bush's coattails, to put Jeb into office as President, and now I'm not so sure if the first dairy was a joke or not. At least, not to Bush.
Is it just Bush babbling like the idiot he is? Making conversation? Trying to get people to talk about something other than the way Katherine Harris stepped up and hit one out of the park for Bush in Florida, to get him elected the first time, and how now that she's done being useful to Bush, screw her? (Not that we can't all enjoy seeing that...)
Is this just a giant Fuck-You to brother Jeb? Like, the whole world hates Bush, and he thinks, what the hell, I want some of that hatred to brush off on the whole Bush clan? Can't have Jed coming along after me and being a better President than me?
Or is it just sheer stupidity?
Drunkenness?
His medication not quite kicking in in time for him to meet the public?
Or maybe he knew someone leaked his plane's schedule and that for the sake of the country (and themselves), the Republicans or the military were planning to take him out on the way to Florida, and they just missed? And he was so relieved, he has no idea what he said when he got on the ground in Florida?
Damn! They missed! Stupid schedule ended up in the trash! God, what do we have to do to get rid of this man?
I really would love to make some sense of this. I know that's asking a lot of Bush, but it was just really, really weird. Twilight-Zone weird. Like... maybe he really does think his endorsement for President could help someone and that he and Daddy Bush have established a dynasty, and things are going well and a Bush will be President forever. That kind of all-out-scary weirdness.
What do you think?
