WASHINGTON — Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush compares journalists to "crack addicts" and "heroin addicts" for asking about the 2016 presidential campaign.
Bush was asked Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press" who is more likely to win the White House — himself or Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio.
Bush said to host David Gregory, quote, "Man, you guys are crack addicts. You really are obsessed with all this politics."
Gregory replied he had never been compared to a crack addict. Bush asked if "heroin addict" was a better comparison.
Bush, son and brother of former presidents, appeared on all five political morning shows to promote his new book.

A political reporter asking about politics, how absurd. This Bush may be a bigger moron than the other.

Its no surprise the left wing media wants Jeb to run in 2016. That would give Biden (or Clinton) a clear advantage of winning the election.
What is surprising is why did the Sunday morning news shows book Job Bush instead of Rand Paul?

Isn't Bush's daughter a crack head ?

It must be killing the only halfway intelligent Bush to have to pretend to be a moron to appeal to the GOP/Tea Party member base.
Klaatu writes:
What give you the idea that he's pretending?
I think it's pretty stupid to use the crack head/heroin analogy when your own daughter is a crackhead and drug addict.

Well, that's true. With Republicans you never know how much of the dumb is fake.

Jeb is just another Republican conservative "hillbilly".

It's sure "bigger" and "longer" than the Obama Express, right?

Nothing is bigger lie, and more ignorant than the comments you post, right?

Jeb has a lot of "Hubris" if he thinks this nation will ever elect another Bush to the White House.
On a secondary note, to see an optimistic, exciting advertisement for 4/13/13, by a tea-party guy with the screen name, N Stinks, is hilarious.
I notice he did not tell anyone to bring their guns. I did hear that all gun-ownwers will be allowed to fire their guns in the air for the closing act at 4 pm. Like most third-world countries.

Haters gonna hate because you can't fix stupid! Nstinks and Willoubhy are our two local tea potty bafoons. Stinks thinks he is a marketing genius by "advertising" in the comment section to get the other haters to don their straw hats with tea bags stapled to them and stand on the corner of Pine Ridge and 41 with Obama derangement syndrom signs and wave little American flags on a stick.
It is so 2010 isn't it?
You can't fix stupid! These guys double down on it. I love it!

Thanks to Jeb Fl is saddled with unfunded pension obligations and other perks catered to the unions, what a RINO.

You know the Republicans are in trouble when they have to "fake dumb" to maintain and hold up their "base". Stupid is as stupid does. Right Forrest?

Ever see a gay pride parade? Or those union guys in Wisconsin squatting in the State house?How about the Occupy Wall Street people?
I'll take the tea party crowd over those disgusting slobs any day. Maybe it annoys you to see decent Americans getting together in support of what used to be our common values- the contrast with your side really speaks volumes about what's become of the Democrat party.

'so how's that tea party thingy workin'out for ya?'
the tea party like half the street corner hat wearers is/are half dead.
haven't you heard? the word on the street (by a majority of the gop) is that the gop needs to re-invent itself.
the majority did not like the current path of the gop and their weak sister (tea party) so president obama is enjoying a second term. and he can thank the gop and the tea party for that!

"No baggage" on the Bush name. Another one with amnesia for the years 2000-2008.

Yes. She was also convicted of trying to obtain fake prescription medicine. Spent time in rehab while others who did the same thing get sent to prison. Don't forget about his Mexican wife who got caught lying to customs agents as they returned from a trip to Europe. The entire family is corrupt from top to bottom. I would NEVER vote for another Bush. Not that Obama is any better. Rand Paul 2016
