"When a student shows up, [universities] ought to say, 'Hey, that psych major deal... that's great... but you realize you're going to be working at Chick-fil-A.'"
—Jeb Bush

simply based on the amount of insanity that they spew forth.

"Taking out Saddam Hussein turned out to be a pretty good deal."
—Jeb Bush

i.e., Good = Beneficial for defense contractors. The people of Iraq? Not so much.

"I'm not sure we need half a billion dollars for women's health issues."
—Jeb Bush on federal funding

Wasn't it Jindal who said 'We have to stop being the party of stupid', followed by Rinse Pribuscycle talking about outreach to women and Latinos.

The thing that I find the most amusing about this quote is that $500,000,000 is a rounding error in the Federal budget. It's chump change.

"It will go down in history as one of those pivotal moments in the course of our country. [It will lead to] the beginning of the restoration of the foundational aspects of our country."
-- Jeb Bush on the election of Scott Brown

I find Brown interesting. He said right off the bat that he's not going to vote in lock-step with the Republicans and is in favor of abortion rights among other things. He's already voted against the Republican caucus, I believe it was an unemployment benefit bill.

It's good to see someone in Washington whose specialty isn't marching to the same drummer as the rest of his party.

And just what "foundational aspects" are we talking about here? Do I get to own slaves? I have a feeling Jeb isn't going to keep his promise and he's going to be running for higher office, not that I expected him to keep that particular promise in the first place.
