1. A crowd?

Were they there for the free continental breakfast when Bush showed up?

[deutsey]

8. LOL

[CTyankee]

2. This is getting pathetic.

I'm actually feeling sorry for the guy. The self delusion is eating him alive, like that dinosauer in Jurassic Park did to people trying to fight him...

[groundloop]

3. It's pretty obvious his heart's not in it

I can't imagine why he keeps playing along.

[CTyankee]

4. IDK. Perhaps his family is pressuring him. Maybe he still thinks it's his turn.

Maybe he just doesn't know what to do withhimself if not run for president.

Why doesn't he just back out gracefully and become a political commentator. But that could be a bit humiliating, witness Howard Dean today on Morning Joe...

[robbob]

21. Maybe 5% of all the millions people keep throwing at him

...makes in into a little "me time" fund. You know, spa treatments, mud packs, tanning salons?

[hollysmom]

26. Never feel sorry for the guy taht grossly mishandled the terry Schavio case

Only he matters no one else matters

[CTyankee]

33. I remember it very well. My 94 year old mother was dying in a hospital in Dallas at the time

of the Schiavo incident. It had me greatly concerned that she would not be allowed to pass gently when her life support was removed.

[yellowcanine]

5. Well crap. Now I feel a little sorry for Jeb! Emphasis on LITTLE.

[Backwoodsrider]

6. I think Jeb has to spend down his PAC before suspending campaign

Poor Jeb just is not president material but the Bush's do have standing so I think Jeb is trying to spend down those millions so he doesn't walk off with a lot. Its not like they need any money. Bet there are some contributors who are pissed they got nothing for their millions.

[HughBeaumont]

7. "It's my turn!! IT'S MY TURRRN!!!"

It's over, Jeb!by. It's over like Johnny Fuckball in Cleveland.

[Nye Bevan]

9. "My brother kept us safe"

was the beginning of the end for him.

[yortsed snacilbuper]

10. Good riddance!

[Laffy Kat]

24. Yep. I don't feel sorry for the jerk in the least. nt

[Sunlei]

11. He should refund donation dollars instead of squandering those millions.

get a real job Jeb you freeloader.

[B Calm]

12. Go home Jeb, you are embarrassing the Bush family name. Oh

never mind, it's been lower than dirt since pappy was president.

[Journeyman]

13. He's my favorite Bush Bush ('cause he's never going to be President) . . .

[Octafish]

14. Clap, damn you!

[randys1]

15. Do the human race a favor, tell the truth about the GOP. Tell the truth about the extent of the

harm they have in store for the rest of the world

[tclambert]

16. Jeb? Jeb . . .

[hifiguy]

17. Time to head home, Jebthro.

Maybe you can be a double-naught spy or a fry cook when you grow up.

[KamaAina]

18. Clap on! (clap clap) Clap off! (clap clap)

Clap on, clap off, the Jebber!

[brooklynite]

19. A friend tells me there's something about his voice

She was at a Bush speech at the Council on Foreign Relations, and his vocal inflection (or lack) lulls you into a dazed sleep.

[Turborama]

20. I'd love to see this.

Is there a video?

[PumpkinAle]

22. Here you go.........

Although I don't think it is as quite as desperate sounding when viewed as when written.

I would almost, almost feel sorry for him, but then I remember what his brother did to America and how Jeb has supported G.W.

[Turborama]

23. Thank you

[Laffy Kat]

25. My sister, a State of Florida employee, worked under him for eight years.

During that time he gutted State workers' rights, massacred the environment and ruined the State's education system, just to name a few of his disasters. She insists he is a psychopath. I trust her insight. Oh, and don't forget the 2000 election.

No one should feel sorry for this asshole.

[PumpkinAle]

34. And then there was Terry Schivo

Jeb is just another Bush - the blood runs cold through their veins (can't through the heart as they don't have one).

[David Zephyr]

27. Jeb Bush's Most Memorable Line: "Please Clap"

John Ellis Bush -- who once whined that his big brother George would shoot him and his siblings in the back with a BB gun -- is immortalized with this "Please clap" video.

Makes my heart happy.

[2naSalit]

28. So pathetic it ALMOST

makes ,e feel bad for him. I just can't watch that clip... something about human dignity (mine I think).

[leftyladyfrommo]

29. I know. I feel the same way.

He just needs to go back home.

[Stuart G]

30. Jeb..has forever defined himself..two words.."Please clap," nt

[MowCowWhoHow III]

31. Hope can be a terrible thing

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

32. Pundits wrote a false narrative that George stole Jeb's opportunity

This guy is a pathetic dolt! How could they not know that?

[Solly Mack]

35. It has been rather delicious to watch his campaign.

[muriel_volestrangler]

36. If you don't clap, then ...

Tinkerbell Jeb will fade away and die!!!
