Bill Kristol, new ABC contributor,says GOP has solved Christie’s scandal with two words: ‘Jeb Bush'

[okaawhatever]

I edited the headline to include the fact that Bill Kristol has been hired by ABC News as a contributor. There are two stories here, both equally frightening. I guess ABC news isn't even trying to pretend to be a legitimate news source.

Weekly Standard Editor Bill Kristol said on Sunday that the Republican Party had already found a two-word solution New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s problems: Jeb Bush.

During a panel discussion on ABC’s This Week, Kristol, who was recently hired as a contributor to the network, shrugged off new evidence that Christie may have not told the truth about knowing the George Washington Bridge had been closed.

“Having talked to various Republican establishment types — I’m pro-Tea Party — but anyway, the establishment types over the last 24 hours when you ask them about the Christie situation, there’s a two-word answer: Jeb Bush,” the neoconservative pundit opined. “And I’m really struck by how much Christie was kind of the establishment donor-class favorite, I think, for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016. They are beginning to, maybe foolishly, they are beginning to write them off.”


Republican strategist, Ana Navarro, who is a close friend of the former Florida governor, said that she hoped he would run.
“He would bring so much to the debate,” she insisted. “He would be a game changer when it comes to Hispanic votes.

23. hit tits and ass obsession led to palin

[Agnosticsherbet]

2. ABC has been quite conservative for a very long time.

That became clear to be back in 2003, when I used to read "The Note" put out by Mark Halperin. They are not as far right as Fox, but they are certainly center right.

It is not surprising to me that they would push Jeb Bush. He is the establishment candidate of choice.

[Cha]

11. Two words for abc

Jon Karl.

[WinkyDink]

3. Been saying it for years now.

[Warpy]

4. Yeah, like the country wants another one of THEM

Most of us barely survived the last one. They have crashed the economy twice. Once might be an accident, twice looks like the beginning of a bad habit. I don't want to try a third time and I suspect the country doesn't, either.

[reformist2]

5. The GOP needs to change their name to the GOB - the Grand Old Bush party.

[IDemo]

[rocktivity]

6. Of course the American people would prefer a replay

of the Bush years to a replay of the Clinton years!

7. I think the voters know all they need to know about the BFEE

So bring it on.

[CAG]

8. Two words for billy crystal;

Bwaaahhhaaaa bwaaahhaaahhaa!

10. Jebbie? Bring that fucker on. nt

[Rex]

13. That is a shame, ABC news is now just another Foxnews Lite.

Sad they hired a fucking idiot to work there. They do seem to love these worthless idiots that are always wrong.

[MurrayDelph]

14. Bill Kristol is never right

and if Jeb did run, he would have to keep asking "When are people going to stop blaming my brother for the things he did?"

[ck4829]

15. Would his promotion of Common Core fly with the base of the GOP?

They are making a big, huge deal of it right now.

[Dawson Leery]

20. Jebby runs behind Carnival Cruz.

The country does not want another Bush.

[Walk away]

21. Jeb Bush's entire family has been arrested, some several times.

His kids are sloppy drunks and drug addicts and his wife is a mess. How is he going to drag that group around the country? They make the Palin family look normal.

[rufus dog]

22. Typical fucking Repub, take no responsibility

They were on the Christie Ship. It was the Titanic, now on to the next one and claim you never really liked the other.
