Do politicians, public officials and celebutards say stupid, and even insane, things on a stunningly regular basis? Of course they do! On this Oscar Sunday, we’ll revisit some of these unfortunate comments, which are unfortunate for them, but hilarious for us! What’s your favorite? Jeb Bush’s recent “I used to be a conservative?” The moronic “Warren Buffett and Debbie Show,” featuring a false narrative about the “unfairness” at play in our tax system? Anything that Sean Penn has said in the last five years? And, no, we aren’t going to leave out our Dear Reader. He may even earn his own category.

Of course, disaster movies are a classic Hollywood genre, and thanks to the Obama economy, many Americans are starring in their own personal versions of “Titanic.” In 2009, the democrats gave us the mother of all public policy disasters for this country, the Orwellian-named “Affordable Care Act.” Today’s guest, Grace Marie Turner President of the Galen Institute and co-author of Why Obamacare Is Wrong for America, knows Obamacare inside and out, and we’ll ask her whether there is any way to get our country on a lifeboat.

One year after his death, the family of murdered ICE agent Jaime Zapata is still waiting for answers, even though on January 30 a man was sentenced  to 100 months for trafficking in a weapon involved in the crime. Speaking of waiting, we’re eagerly anticipating Eric Holder’s explanation, even though the weapon was part of Operation Fast and Furious.

Join us Sunday for the rest of the story.

Today, former Florida governor and establishment Republican man crush Jeb Bush decided to throw in his gratuitous two cents about GOP’s 2012 field:

“I used to be a conservative and I watch these debates and I’m wondering, I don’t think I’ve changed, but it’s a little troubling sometimes when people are appealing to people’s fears and emotion rather than trying to get them to look over the horizon for a broader perspective and that’s kind of where we are,” former Florida governor Jeb Bush said in a Dallas speech Thursday, Fox News reported. “I think it changes when we get to the general election. I hope.”

Jeb, I don’t remember asking you for your brain droppings, but I’ll play along. yYou used to be a conservative? When was that exactly? The last time I noticed you doing anything interesting was when you were in Miami, on stage talking bipartisan pap with Barack Obama. The One and his peeps liked what you said so much that they put it on their website.

Now you feel the need to express your anxiety over the presidential race? You find it “a little troubling” that the candidates “are appealing to people’s fears and emotions?” Do you know what I find troubling? The fact that obviously you have absolutely no idea what’s going on in this country, yet that doesn’t stop you from popping off about the upcoming election. Jeb, as along as we’re sharing, let me share a few thoughts with you. First, few things are less appealing than listening to people who were too lazy, or too gutless to do something criticize the people who did step up and try. If you find the tone of the current campaign so distressing, perhaps you should have run for office. You didn’t, so I think you should put a sock in it. Second, suggesting that candidates who point out the destruction Barack Obama has visited on this country are “appealing to fears and emotions” doesn’t make you seem smarter or more rational. It makes you seem clueless. Maybe these sort of moronic remarks will get you invited to a cocktail party at Colin Powell’s house, but aside from that, they serve no useful purpose. Like your fellow establishment Republicans, you are just like this guy.

Since you obviously haven’t noticed, we’re dealing with more of a bricks and bats situation than an op-ed in the Times one. If you don’t get that, please STFU.

I Guess Jeb Bush Was Listening to Yesterday’s Show

On yesterday’s show, I repeated my belief that the GOP nominee must be a champion of free markets and capitalism. I wonder if Jeb Bush was listening to the show. From a piece by former Gov. Bush published in today’s Wall Street Journal:

We either can go down the road we are on, a road where the individual is allowed to succeed only so much before being punished with ruinous taxation, where commerce ignores government action at its own peril, and where the state decides how a massive share of the economy’s resources should be spent.

Or we can return to the road we once knew and which has served us well: a road where individuals acting freely and with little restraint are able to pursue fortune and prosperity as they see fit, a road where the government’s role is not to shape the marketplace but to help prepare its citizens to prosper from it.

In short, we must choose between the straight line promised by the statists and the jagged line of economic freedom. The straight line of gradual and controlled growth is what the statists promise but can never deliver. The jagged line offers no guarantees but has a powerful record of delivering the most prosperity and the most opportunity to the most people. We cannot possibly know in advance what freedom promises for 312 million individuals. But unless we are willing to explore the jagged line of freedom, we will be stuck with the straight line. And the straight line, it turns out, is a flat line.

I was surprised to read this muscular defense of capitalism from someone I view as more of a traditional moderate GOP politician. Then, this morning between 9:30 and 10:00 a.m. Central time I nearly suffered a tragic treadmill accident when I saw Stephen Moore on Fox News talking about this piece. He said that Jeb Bush could still enter the presidential race, and win, even as a WRITE IN! Apparently, the name “Bush” is not box office poison anymore, as we were all lead to believe only a couple of years ago.

 

About 2 hours ago on his show, Rush Limbaugh was talking about this appearance by Stephen Moore, and (as usual), he made an excellent point; specifically, as excellent and spot-on as this piece by Jeb Bush is, had it been written by Newt Gingrich or Sarah Palin, it would not inspire Stephen Moore to gush over them and suggest that they could win a write in campaign. In fact, chances are Mr. Moore and those of his ilk would suggest that the piece demonstrated the sort of heartlessness that will cost Republicans votes in 2012.

What is it about these East Coast elitist types? I like Stephen Moore, and often agree with him, but it’s clear that he has ingested the Washington Kool-Aid like nearly everyone else who lives on the right parenthesis.

I don’t think for a minute that Jeb Bush plans to enter the 2012 race. It’s a surprising turn of events that he is the guy who took up the call to counter Obama’s anti-capitalist ranting.
