One of the most entertaining
spectacles of this election cycle is watching Jeb! Bush try to marry his
genial, moderate patrician demeanor to the kind of sneering, condescending Tea Party dialogue
that, having incubated for years in right-wing media, has now burst out
of the host Republican Party’s abdominal cavity to spray acid in the
eyes of anyone who dares get near it. It’s the same awkward fusion Mitt
Romney attempted four years ago, though no one really noticed until the
general. Jeb has the decency to do it during the primaries so we’ll all
have more time to enjoy watching him flail.
Bush followed up his recent “hey black people, no more free stuff for you!” moment by sitting for an interview with John Harwood on CNBC,
and hoo boy, does the former Florida governor sound like a man so far
down the rabbit hole he might emerge on the other side of the planet.
Over the course of just a few minutes, he manages to twist himself into
so many knots trying to rescue his brother’s legacy while simultaneously
suggesting that President Obama is several steps to the left of
Vladimir Lenin, by the end you could salt him and sell him from a Times
Square pretzel cart.
Take
this answer to Harwood’s question about why the country has seen more
economic growth when Democrats have held the White House versus
Republicans over the last 35 years.
