Stuff Happens: Jeb Channels Donald Rumsfeld

If he wants to run as his brother's third term as he seems to do, Rumseld is still the worst possible aspect to bring to mind.

I mean the decision to invade Iraq was dead wrong and we are living with the fall out every day with ISIS and Iraq set to break in two or three pieces. 

But even with it being the wrong policy the execution after Mission Accomplished was just awful. And who was in charge of this execution? Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. The single worse decision after Mission Accomplished was de-Baathification. 

After all the looting caused by de-Baathification, Rumseld's response was: Stuff happens.

As Donald Rumsfeld so goes Jeb Bush. 

Jeb was already poling at 4% before invoking Rummy.

Kind of ironic how Mr. 4% GDP is polling at 4%.

Now like when he said Anchor babies, he's again blaming liberals that he says such bad things. 

"For several hours after Jeb Bush was caught on video responding to the Oregon school shooting by almost inexplicably saying “Stuff happens,” he laid low and didn’t even try to explain himself. Those two words remained atop the trending topics list on Twitter even as speculation ran rampant that the gaffe might force him to drop out of the race for President. Finally hours later he responded – by blaming “liberal democrats.”

"The former Florida governor is polling in the single digits in every national poll for President, and in some polls he’s doing so badly he’s beneath the margin of error. With his remarks today likely to send him spiraling even lower, he had the option to try apologizing for his insensitivity toward the victims and their families and trying his remarks again. Instead he merely blamed his mistake on liberals, democrats, and the media for supposedly taking his words out of context, even though by now millions have likely seen the video of his remarks. This suggests he’s no longer even trying."

"For the record, just so Jeb Bush can’t claim that his followup response is somehow being taken out of context as well, here’s the full text of what he tweeted this evening: “Liberal Dems & some in media distorted my words to advance their agenda in wake of tragedy. It’s wrong. Thx to those who set record straight.” We give it fifty-fifty odds that he’s still in the race by this time next month."

Jeb out within a month? I dare not hope for that. With all the money at his disposal presumably he can keep going and going.

On the ohter hand there is word that the big donors are getting tired of this and want to seem some sign of life within the month.

P.S. Overall, I'm sure if you lost your son or daughter at that community college in Oregon you are consoled by Jeb's observation that stuff happens.

Yep. Stuff happens. Let's go back to my country club, I'm meeting my brother W for gold.
