Seth Meyers takes ‘A Closer Look’ at Jeb Bush’s recent campaign stumbles, and comes to the conclusion that Jeb and Hermie the Elf have much in common – and that perhaps Jeb could benefit from Hermie’s example.
It has been hard to miss hearing the recent spate of nonresidential utterances from Jeb Bush. From defending his brother for 9-11 and criticizing Secretary Clinton and President Obama for Benghazi, to something as simple as naming a superhero – and coming up with a ‘hottie’ Jeb’s foot has been planted firmly in his mouth
No one was surprised when the ‘other Bush’ responded to ominous rumblings about his newly ‘lean and mean’ campaign (read broke), with “Blah Blah Blah Blah!” And when asked to comment further he added; “Blah Blah Blah.”
Most recently, Jeb blurted that he has “a lot of really cool things that I can do rather than sit around being miserable listening to people demonize me and feeling compelled to demonize them.” a clearly exasperated Bush added; “That is a joke. Elect Trump, if you want!” Yah – Go ahead – Jeb won’t mind. Actually, he probably doesn’t mind. One gets the impression that Jeb clearly doesn’t want to be President. Jeb simply had the misfortune of being pushed into the family business. Much like Hermie the Elf who didn’t give a rip about making toys, because he only wanted to be a dentist. We encourage you Jeb.
Now is the time to make your move – go, and be a dentist, do really cool things! You’re clearly miserable, and the Bush legacy will limp along just fine without adding you to the list who have occupied 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
