Now now, Jeb! has only said very muted and low energy words about what he'd do in Syria about Putin, with no specifics.

Only Lindsey Graham has said he'd send 20,000 troops to Syria and Iraq (and start World War 3 in the process).

He was asked what his first concert experience was, said it was James Brown, and then decided to say that.

Another fun Bush family concert story: Jeb! only has one photo of his marriage day because he recruited his brother, Neil, as the official photographer and Neil forgot to switch out the roll he'd used the previous night at a Zappa concert.

In July 1999, Bush made at least $798,000 on three stock trades in a single day of a company where he had been employed as a consultant. The company, Kopin Corporation of Taunton, Massachusetts, announced on the same day good news about a new Asian client that sent its stock value soaring. Bush stated that he had no inside knowledge and that his financial advisor had recommended the trades. He said, "any increase in the price of the stock on that day was purely coincidental, meaning that I did not have any improper information."

Neil Bush is the Bush who just decided to go "gently caress it, I'm a Bush, I'm basically royalty, I'm going to act like loving royalty" and goes around the world living the lifestyle of the rich and sleazy.

So Maddow is talking about the polls they used to determine the debate lineup and it looks like Fox Business didn't include a NYT/CBS poll, instead opting for one from Investors Business Daily. Doing so switched Graham and Jindal for who was going to be kicked out of the debate entirely. So basically Fox Business went out of its way to poo poo on Graham.

If you're going to go after Jeb through Neil (the Bush in question who did the insider trading), there's better Neil stuff.

I guess I'll go ahead and quote some of that CNN article I posted from 2003:

quote:

The Bush divorce, completed in April after 23 years of marriage, was prompted in part by Bush's relationship with another woman. He admitted in the deposition that he previously had sex with several other women while on trips to Thailand and Hong Kong at least five years ago.

The women, he said, simply knocked on the door of his hotel room, entered and had sex with him. He said he did not know if they were prostitutes because they never asked for money and he did not pay them.

"Mr. Bush, you have to admit it's a pretty remarkable thing for a man just to go to a hotel room door and open it and have a woman standing there and have sex with her," Brown said.

"It was very unusual," Bush said.

There's a lot of other good stuff in there (like Neil getting paid 2 million dollars by a Chinese semiconductor company when Neil doesn't know the first thing about semiconductors).

Neil visited my old High School in Dallas back in, it must have been... 2003/2004? I distinctly remember him trying to peddle this horseshit. There was also a question/answer session wherein he did confirm the existence of tunnels under the White House (and mentioned having been in them circa 9/11) and recounted a time when Dubya shot him with a BB gun as a kid. That's about all I got.

LOL at anyone who listens to Maddow. Left-wing Hannity, Rush, whatever who will flat out lie to mislead her rube sycophants.

Fox didn't pick and chose the IBD poll over the NYT, the IBD poll was one of the 4 most recent ones and the NYT/CBS poll was not.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/us/2016_republican_presidential_nomination-3823.html

I'd prefer Graham over Jindal all day, but FOX said repeatedly 4 most recent polls and WELP IBD was the 4th most recent, and CBS/NYT the 5th.

Carson trying to hit his mom with a hammer is a huge part of his life story. It was his 'road to Damascus' moment.

The story now is in regards to the stabbing incident. They can't find any witnesses, and Carson has changed his story. First he said it was a classmate, now he says it was relative.
