Jeb Bush at the FSU Miami Game: "I gave 20 bucks"

[Merrick]

did an interview after halftime, praising Red Cross and the generousity of fans donating. Said "I gave twenty bucks". Boy, I hope he can make his mortgage this month.

[Left Is Write]

1. TWENTY dollars?

Oooh boy. He must be tapped now. What a generous guy.

[peekaloo]

2. Are the Bushits trying to out asshole each other?

Jebus.

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. ROTFL!

Perfect response!

:rofl:

I think they are!

What with Bab's comments, and FuckStick's inability to lead or offer assistance, and his dad's fucked up presentation...

yes, I think they are trying to out asshole each other.

I wonder if Jeb's daughter will go on national TV offering a hit of meth to the first one that can crawl to her apartment.

[Zuni]

31. refugees need primo crank too

If she donates her whole stash of hard ass drugs, a poor family of four in New Orleans could walk to Baton Rouge or Houston in like 2 days

[femrap]

32. Actually, as someone else pointed out yesterday

regarding Babs disgusting comment about the hurricane survivors, Jeb (as told by Rove) is trying to deflect all the anger and venom away for W.....and it has been effective.

Rove could teach Machiavelli a thing or two....he manipulates people like they are puppets....I believe he is the spawn of Satan.

Next, maybe the daughters will do or say something bad....

[sickinohio]

37. HaHaHaHa

:applause: :spray: :rofl:

[philosophie_en_rose]

3. How generous! How like a Bush!

Stingy, racist, elitist, sacks of shit.

It costs more than $20.00 to buy hot dogs and sodas at a football game.

[sakabatou]

5. WTF?

[Arkana]

6. Wow, what a thoughtful guy.

Guess he decided not to blow his nose on the $20 he found in that jacket he hasn't worn in a while. :sarcasm:

[UrbScotty]

7. Nominated to show the lack of compassion on his part. (nt)

[KamaAina]

8. Twenty bucks?!

This cubicle rat from Hawai'i gave a hundred, and may not be done yet, for Pete's sake! Next he'll go over there and start flinging change to the poor! :grr:

[Lochloosa]

9. Not trying to defend Jebby, but that is what they were asking

everyone who came to the game to give. Asking students to give up beer for the night and donate 10 bucks.

20.00 x 50,000 = 1 million
10.00 x 30,000 = 300,000.00

Total 1.3 mil...not a bad haul for one night

[mcscajun]

11. Giving what you're asked is all well and good, especially if it's all

you can afford.

If you're lucky enough to be flush with cash, then you give more than is asked, on behalf of those who cannot, and for those not as fortunate as yourself.

Jeb, along with the rest of the Bush clan, can go rot.

[Lochloosa]

14. I agree..just saying his statement might be taken out of context

Flame away

[MalibuChloe]

38. no - you're right

they were just collecting on the way in and he said he "threw 20 bucks in." i HOPE he donated more at another time!

[Rabrrrrrr]

21. Thanks for pointing that out! If we're gonna villify,

let's at least be accurate.

Were I in Jeb's situation, even I had decided to toss a hundred into the jar, I would have said "I gave my twenty!"

Since that's what they were asking for.

Not that I think the asshole gave any more than was asked for, but still, we must strive for accuracy and fairness.

[northzax]

34. indeed, we have no idea

hos much, if anything, he gave privately. let's not go overboard in frustration.

Saying "I gave more than you tonight' doesn't make sense in a specific fundraiser. If they're selling t-shirts for $20, for example, even if you give $100, you don't need to advertise that.

[Initech]

10. What a fucking cheapskate!

Really, the guy is an OIL millionaire. He should fork over more cash than just $20. For Jeb, that's a tip while eating at some overtly expensive restaraunt.

[Greyhound]

15. Correction; Counting his share of the Bush Trust, he is a BILLIONAIRE n/t

[Initech]

19. I stand corrected!

Still doesnt change the fact that he's a FUCKING CHEAPSKATE, though!

[neonplaque]

12. "Conserved Compassion"

Didn't you know that is what "Compassionate Conservative" really means?

[Initech]

22. So that's what it means!

Does "compassionate conservative" mean that in the event of a disaster, you're only supposed to fork $20 instead of completely ignoring the event (like a lot of rethugs are).

[Splatter Phoenix]

39. Constipated Conservative. x_X

Still full of shit after all this time.

[buddysmellgood]

13. I wonder how Dubya would have responded if Kartrina clobbered Florida

[eleonora]

17. Hurricane season is not over

In fact, its most active period has JUST started with Katrina....I can't even begin to imagine what will happen if Florida gets a big one this year too.

[Pacifist Patriot]

18. Shhhh!!!! Don't jinx us. Not only are we suffering enough by

being double-BushWhacked, but Katrina did cause some damage and deaths in Florida before moving into the Gulf. I know it was a smaller storm and not remotely as catastrophic, but I really fear what the next two months might have in store for us here.

[Pacifist Patriot]

16. Surely he's talking about a collection jar at the game and not

his total contribution.

I swear that family's picture is in the dictionary next to "dysfunctional." What a bunch of stupid assholes.

[SOteric]

20. I'm so profoundly

...touched. That is the most incredibly generous gesture.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

23. Can he lead off the Top Ten Conservative Idiots next week?

Please, EarlG, please?

[mom cat]

24. Do you have a link so that we can doctument this!

[roguevalley]

26. reminds me of old man Rockefeller slithering out of his limo in the

depression and throwing out handfuls of dimes for the po' folks. He's a cheapskate who will burn in hell with the rest of his diseased family. What can you expect from a grandson of a Nazi collaborator?

[Merrick]

33. No, sorry. Just happened to be watching the game and heard him say it

[DS1]

25. Obviously he needs a raise

[fooj]

27. These murderes must be stopped. Now.

Peace.

[Zuni]

28. wow. Because of Jeb, we can provide food and medical care

to one person for like 10 minutes. :eyes:

[glitch]

29. self-delete. Too nasty, even for bushes. nt

[Splatter Phoenix]

40. NOTHING is too nasty for them...come ON...

Now I'm curious.

[KitchenWitch]

30. Quick - does Jebby have a PayPal account

Send the man 20 bucks...he obviously needs it more than the poor folks on the gulf coast.

:rant:

[stickdog]

35. John Wesley Harding needs to update his "Live Aid" song

July 13th 1985 was the day we watched Live Aid
The Global Jukebox came alive
We fed the world that day
We fed the world that day

Well the powerful voice of pop music, solve the problems, feed the world
So what if there weren't any blacks involved there was Everything but the Girl
Bob Geldof has no ego that man should get the Nobel Prize
By the time he sang the solo on Feed the World
I thought he should be canonized

I felt guilty about the starving but I felt good to be alive
And I must admit I shed a tear or two in the very moving video for that great Cars song Drive
Saint Bob made me feel like shit
So I got out an envelope, opened it
Put in a very crisp ten pound note
It was the same one I used earlier to snort my coke

(and that made me feel good inside
sending the money, of course, not snorting the coke)

[6000eliot]

36. To be fair, rehab for his daughter can't be cheap.

[Katha]

41. Good lord, I'm a college student

who's currently unemployed, and I gave more than twenty goddamn dollars.

Shame on you, Jeb.

[daninthemoon]

42. Hey, that was his beer money. He gave till it hurt.

[salin]

43. hey jerkbush

I work with kids of whom 80% of the families qualify for free and reduced lunches at school (that is - at, below, or not much above the poverty line) and in one day the collection is far more than "20 bucks" - and none of them had the advantage of using govt connections to get real, real rich (as Jeb! did before he became gov.) What a sorry excuse for a man.
