Jebby's "endorsement" is NOT a "benediction," it's a FUCK YOU to those who want him to be the savior

What did he do? He waited until after the Illionois Primary, where...even though Santorum can still duck-paddle his way to the convention, the writing is pretty much on the wall. But as Romney becomes more inevitable, the "anyone but Romney" crowd was probably prepared to ratchet up the "Run Jeb Run" rhetoric. Jeb simply raised his chubby middle finger and said "See ya in 2016, suckers."

I think he wants 2016. This gets everyone off his back until then.

a VP run could be a good start for a 2016 run ... it did wonders for $i$ter $arah ... Oh wait! Nevermind.

But assuming that he's not a complete idiot and can put together a sentence or two, a VP run can be a boost.
