Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush cited his experience as head of the Florida National Guard in a radio interview Friday to counter claims from Marco Rubio that he lacked foreign policy credentials. The former Florida governor singled out the Florida Guard that ran the scandal-plagued Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq as proof of his foreign policy chops.
A Bush spokesman said the governor was referring to the prison post-scandal.
“Jeb visited Florida Guard troops in Iraq in 2006 who were serving their country admirably and helping turn that prison back over to the Iraqis following scandal,” said Tim Miller. “Those troops should be commended for their service and their sacrifice. Jeb’s experience is validated by over 40 admirals and generals who have endorsed his campaign because he is best prepared to be Commander-in-Chief on day one.”
I was commander-in-chief of the National Guard. I visited Iraq and Afghanistan. The National Guard in Florida took the responsibility of running Abu Ghraib prison. I walked that prison. I saw the heroic effort of the citizen soldiers taking care of their job with great distinction. I supported our Guard in every possible way.
That is not as bad as Palin claiming she had foreign policy experience.
A literal goose, being a migrating bird, has more foreign policy experience.
I don't actually know if geese migrate, I just thought it was funny.
Being Canadian, I can assure you they do.
We must secure our northern border.
Good luck building a wall high enough to stop them!

Donald Trump apparently ordered a $50 steak well done.
If I knew nothing else about him, that would be enough for me to not trust him.
Look, I was willing to let Trump slide with his 'eating pizza with a knife and fork' thing, but this..... this is just wrong. You're only allowed one wrong food opinion.
Is not like Trump has to pay for the suit, if he puts a donation basket on Congress for a suit against Ted Cruz, he would get more money than all the SuperPACs combined.
Most of those guys are lawyers, they'd probably take the case pro bono.
isn't Rubio criticizing Jeb!'s lack of foreign policy experience kinda the same as him criticizing Cruz's voting record? it pretty much just leaves him open for attack since there's no way he's any better in those departments. the fact that he seems to get away with making these attacks is really baffling. but i guess you could put it down to Cruz not thinking fast enough during the debate and Jeb! just being Jeb!.

Oh, pleasepleaseplease let him defend this on camera and then let us get a political ad that combines that with this:

"Donald Trump: Wrong on steak, Wrong for America."
"Trump steaks are the world's greatest steaks, and I mean that in every sense of the word."
Wait, how many senses does that word have here? Because I'm really only seeing the one.
And which word is it that has so many senses? "World's"? "Steaks"? "Are"? "Trump"? He really doesn't specify.
He's saying that Trump steaks - steaks made by his company, by him, or of his flesh - are the greatest - oldest, biggest, best - steaks in - on the surface or in the center of - the world - the earth or Dio's stand
Marty: The future, it's where you're going? Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.

Ah I see. So if Trump steaks are the greatest in every sense, and two people are eating them, one preferring large 100% beef steaks and the other being a cannibal with a small appetite, then Trump steaks are simultaneously the largest and smallest 100% beef and 100% human-flesh steaks ever made, right?

Trump steaks are carved from only the most fetid carcasses of vanquished Great Old Ones.
To order, just dial 1-800-CTH-LULU and your mind will melt at their deliciousness!

Look, Trump doesn't have a large vocabulary. has the greatest vocabulary. It's really the best, really fantastic. Words like 'Greatest', 'Fantastic', and 'Best' get a lot of use in various contexts.
When I get off my phone, I might find the commentary on it, but taking the seminal scene of defying the establishment to instead frame it as a scene helping the establishment? Coming from the guy who thinks an actor's past work somehow reflects on him then I'm not especially surprised he doesn't get it.
I like how the lyrics talk about how Clinton never has to deal with the media and never has to explain anything despite being about something the media talked about a ton and brought up in debates.

Nah, ¡Jeb! is Michael Bolton. Acts like a badass but is a nebbish twerp who lets other people convince him bad ideas are good ideas when push comes to shove.
But Mr Trump's love of all things Scottish landed him in trouble in 2008 when the court of the Lord Lyon invoked a law dating back to 1672 - to warn him about using an unregistered logo.
It is a criminal offence under the ancient Scottish law to use an unauthorised crest.
Of course, money buys anything and they ended up 'recognising' it.

"Why should I change my name? My brother's the one who sucks."
Trump is running to be the Republican Party's nominee and appeals primarily to Republicans. I am not sure why he is excluded from the "this" that isn't working.
Well, it was designed to sell a golf course in Scotland as being something worth a shit. Probably to compare it to St. Andrews or something.
Anyway, it was Wonkette where I read the commentary on the commercial.
But that’s mere trivia compared to the more serious violence the Cruz ad does to the movie it’s stealing from. Where the original is a wish-fulfillment fantasy of every office drudge who’s ever yearned to murder the devices that make getting through the day a form of torture, the parody turns it into a sinister fantasy from the Drudge Report, with Hillary and shadowy aides destroying evidence of her “crimes,” whatever the hell they’re supposed to be, in a cover-up that will forever keep the public in the dark. The mood of the original is gleeful jouissance, a finger in the eye of The Man. In the parody, Hillary is The Man, the ultimate insider cackling as she gives the finger to the public’s Right to Know, complete with the out-of-context line “What difference does it make?” which proves that she cold-bloodedly murdered four Americans in Benghazi.
As with every bit of pop culture he touches, Cruz seems to have no idea what the fuck the source material is about. He completely missed the point of Green Eggs and Ham; he loves “The Simpsons” although the show routinely mocks Republicans and conservatism; and he thinks he knows exactly how to do a “Saturday Night Live” fake ad (he does not). And of course, he totally spoiled the new Star Wars movie and its revelation that Boba Fett was a contractor for Halliburton.
In this one, Cruz misses the point of Office Space: This is a movie that does not love hard work and the ideology of meritocracy. It celebrates creative sloth, slacking if you can get away with it, and bucking the corporate order wherever possible, and suggests that America’s holy caste of job creators are a bunch of mindless idiots who love slogans and five point action plans more than getting anything useful done. Jobs are something to be endured, not the magical providers of dignity and meaning through the Puritan Work Ethic.

Walker dropped out months ago, I think we're ok!
With still not establishment frontrunner, I wonder if he regrets that. Maybe if he'd hung in there itd have swung around to him.

I am torn.
On the one hand, Office Space reference.
On the other, Cruz.
And is Cruz Lumberg in this analogy?
I think that whomever actually conceived of that ads think that the office drones are the antagonists.
I assume if Cruz ever watched Office Space he sympathized with Lumberg.
Wrong sentiment.

They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
Trump created a coat of arms to use for his golf course in Scotland.

This is amazingly ugly.
