Why does John Ellis want to call himself "Jeb"?
Jeb is the name of an inbreeder's wife...

He also donated $1000 to his "big" brother's campaign while both his sleazy parents, each, donated $2000 to Duh-buy-yeah.

3. none of these inbred cretins go by their real names--dubya.
Jeb
his son is called P
they have inbred so much that the names are all used up and they have to go by initials.

5. I doubt he chose it. Rather, it was

chosen for him by his parents. But he could rebel and become John, or Ellis, or Jack, or J.E., even J.B. Are guys named John ever called Jack anymore? I know people are naming babies Jack, but that's different. Both my grandfathers were named John, called Jack, and you all know about Jack Kennedy.

6. My 4-year-old
Is John, we call him Jack. He is also a 'V' and that's pretty rare. My husband (IV) resisted the idea, he said that only kings and popes are V, but I like the genealogical aspect of it. The second one went by Jack, also.

I think the Bushes throw around names like "Jeb" "Dubya" to make them seem like harmless, good ole boys. There was a time in my youth when I thought the Bushes were harmless... boring and harmless. Was I ever wrong! The BFEE has had its fingers in every evil pie you can think of, for decades. They're like an evil version of Forrest Gump, or something.

7. jeb & w both took nicknames as politicians
Jeb was chosen when he ran for governor of Florida. Jeb not only fits his initials, it evokes the memory of the CSA general, Jeb Stuart. Makes him more southern.

Dubya was similarly adopted to make GWB more Texan. Dub and Dubya are both Texanisms for anyone with the initial 'W'.

As usual, all phony.
