Presidential hopeful Jeb Bush has now secured the all-important endorsement of the worst president ever, aka
his brother Dubya.
“So I said to Jeb, ‘Hang in there; you can do the job. Will you win? I hope so but I don’t know. But if he does he’d be a damn good president I’ll tell you that.”
And George W. Bush is an experienced judge of who might or might not do a heckuva job. Still, do not expect Bush the Dumber to hit the campaign trail on behalf of his brother Jeb's presidential dreams. George W. Bush doesn't want that. Jeb doesn't want that. Truly, nobody wants that.
“It’s an easy line to say, ‘Haven’t we had enough Bushes?’ After all, even my mother said, ‘Yes,’” the former president told an audience of 7,000 health IT experts here on Wednesday.
“That’s why you won’t see me out there, and he doesn’t need to defend me, and he’s totally different from me. The role of family is not to be a political adviser or a policy adviser — there are plenty of those around — the role is to say, ‘Hey man, I love you.’
Politico notes that attending media were not allowed to take pictures or jot down notes during George's appearance, and that the video feed to the conference's newsroom, where reporters were gathered, was cut off "at the last minute." That probably gives some indication of how little we'll be seeing of the last Republican president during his brother's campaign.
