"Why me?" says Jeb Bush
I was reading news on Hurricane Dennis and found this gem of a quote:

''I think there is a legitimate feeling, 'Why me? What did I do wrong?''' Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said.

1. Why does that remind me of that old joke?
A man asked, "Why me?"

Suddenly, the sky darkened and a lightning bolt tumbled from the sky, bearly missing the man. A deep voice from Heaven thundered at the man, "Because you piss Me off."

2. Well, dumbass, you and your stupid brother and your stupid party
refuse to admit that global warming may be a reality. one of the effects is bigger & more frequent hurricanes. Look at a map sometime. More hurricanes means more will hit Florida. A little science knowledge could come in handy here.
Why don't you just sit down and pray? Oh and don't feel soory for the minimum wagers and the poor and the homeless who may never recover from last year. Please worry only about Jeb.

Well, for one, you helped steal the 200 Prez election, two: you helped
with 9-11; three: you defamed and smeared Mr Schaivo who was only trying to help his wife.

5. too bad our good Dem friends must also suffer
for the sins of the Repukes if this is true.

"Why me?" It's a bit late to ask THAT question, isn't it?

7. You're not the only one in the fucking state, Jeb.
Remember when leaders were dignified enough to lead their constituents through hard times?

Now, they sit and whine about how unfairly life is treating with them (or hide behind a children's book).

The whole Bush family is a bunch of narcissistic, spoiled little sociopaths who can't seem to realize that not everything is all about THEM.

10. He has the self-centered magical thinking of a child. Frightening.
Hey Jeb, children make themselves feel important by thinking they can somehow create natural phenomena like hurricanes, but it's time for you to GROW UP and reflect on your real life actions. Remember, those real world events with real world consequences?

BTW Jeb, if you're really concerned about the weather, NOW would be a really good time to talk to brother dingbat about global warming.

11. This is what I would call a "Freudian slip"
or a moment of clarity. It's obvious Jebster is asking himself this very question. "Why me?" What did I do to deserve this? As he's sitting in his beautiful million dollar home, stirring his martini, he ponders.

Everything went the way they wanted. ALL their wishes were granted. They have complete dominance. George got re-elected, not once but twice. They held up their champagne glasses and toasted The Lord, who obviously wanted this since it all came true.

So they won - but they're losing. That's a tough one for Jeb. He thinks it over, as he finishes the martini.

Ponders, as he sees a funnel tube come towards him........

13. If the citizens of Florida put Jeb and Katherine Harris on the highest
Edited on Sun Jul-10-05 12:22 PM by Zorra
point in Penasacola right now and leave them there as a sacrifice to the "god of universal democratic and environmental justice", the planet will take them to somewhere where they can no longer harm innocent living things, and Florida will no longer be the target of extreme environmental wrath.

The selection of G. W. Bu*h as designated planet killer was the greatest environmental insult that the planet has ever endured, and it is now fighting back.

If I were mother nature, I'd be pissed too.

So there ya have it, Floridians, the choice is yours...now get out those torches and pitchforks and go for it!;-)

Yet, he kneecaps anyone who doesn't agree with him, like his twit of a brother. :rofl:

18. Two things to keep in mind, Big Chimp:
Edited on Sun Jul-10-05 12:52 PM by hatrack
1. It's not about you. Let me repeat that, Jebbie - it's not - NOT - about you.

It's about how our planet's climate regulates heat, with lots and lots of help from all the shit our civilization dumps into the atmosphere - a problem which you and your brother and your entire scabby family and your reptilian friends are content to not only ignore, but to actively lie about.

2. What the FUCK do you have to whine about? True, a daughter with drug problems you can't be bothered to show up in court for, and a wife who likes evading US Customs regulations when she travels abroad might constitute "put-upon" in some peoples' opinions.

However, until you've had to live in a government surplus trailer, or inhale mold and dodge falling wetwall for six months, or been ripped off by a sleazy contractor because you were trying to get your house rebuilt, SHUT THE FUCK UP.
