But don't count Jebba-the-Hutt out just yet. Bush opponents in GOP primaries have a way of dropping out after certain phone conversations, or of being unceremoniously swift-boated if they can't take a hint.

If Jeb (wtf kind of name is that?) is Hispanic, then he might be an ILLEGAL one (I mean, an Undocumented Worker. Er, forget that. He doesn't work.). At any rate, he may have crossed our god-given border of freedumb and libertea and likely deserves to be shot (I mean, questioned).

No, Jeb; it just makes you a walking liability to the GOP.

Some of the election supervisors think we need a lot of new demographic categories:

_____ Bush (Hispanic)

_____ Rubio (Undocumented)

_____ Scott (Felon)

_____ Harris/Bondi (Pathological Liar)

_____ Lt. Gov./Education Secretary/Law Enforcement Chief (du jour)

And out of habit, she checked Hispanic.



Columba Bush (pronounced, coh-LOOM-bah; née Garnica Gallo; born August 17, 1953) is a Mexican-born American philanthropist. Bush, who served as First Lady of Florida from 1999 to 2007, is the wife of former Florida Governor Jeb Bush.

likely than one might think. From what I understand, she had to be dragged back from Mexico for Jeb to run. I think if one peeks under the hood of that union it's not "Happy Families" and it hasn't been for a long time. Those Catholic ties that bind are keeping that mess together.

did it, laughing, as a joke, figuring no one would ever see it.

Or, was he able to somehow benefit from it?

I'm betting on "selective."

If he had done it on purpose, he would know that this would make him look dumb.

Maybe he's just dumb with forms.
