Ahh. Jeb said he saw ads for Supergirl and "she looks pretty hot, I'm looking forward to that." Pauses and adds, "That'll make news."

I’m beginning to believe the theory that John Ellis is deliberately attempting to sabotage his own campaign. Possibly to spite his mother, the Shelob of Kennebunkport.
@SabrinaSiddiqui I should point out that Supergirl is an illegal immigrant.

@sabrinasiddiqui Dog whistle for Reddit crowd. He's trying to peel off some of the Ron Paul/GamerGate/Anonymous voters from Rand. Probably.

The only question now is whether Jeb? will jack off in the theatre, or wait til he gets home.

Jeb had a reputation for being quite the stoner during his prep school days. Do we know for a fact that ever stopped being a stoner?

Well, we know what costume Jeb’s hired hooker will be wearing this week…

I’ve heard it’s actually a good show. My daughter and I will be watching with our justice league shirts on :)

@Feebog:
Ahem. The new Supergirl is a TV show.

Ye gods.
Writers everywhere are dying…you not only can’t make this stuff up, if you did, you’d be canned on the spot for being too unbelievable.

@mclaren: same as always, pearls, blue Scaazi and a George Washington wig.
@beltane: He was apparently in same dorm as Linc Chafee. Maybe they got back into it at a reunion. Would explain a lot.

WTF is a Supergirl? And blonde?
As much as girls think I’m pretty, I prefer Superwoman.
PaulW
as a comic book geek, I can confirm that there is no goddamn way Jeb is winning me over with this pandering.
geeks ought to be able to tell true geeks from guessers. you can tell Obama is a geek. I voted for him with an open heart.
Doug R
@Amir Khalid: They brought a bunch of girls and their Moms to a sneak showing where the star showed up on stage after the showing. Thank god he wasn’t there AFAIK.
Gin & Tonic
@Jim, Foolish Literalist: Since Jeb went to U of Texas and Linc went to Brown, that would be a real trick.
beltane
@Gin & Tonic: They both attended Phillips Andover and were in the same dorm.

@Gin & Tonic: Oops, my bad, didn’t notice the “prep school” part of that.

JEBzzz never known a hot woman, so cut him some slack.

Not surprising.
After all, ¿Jeb? had an affair with Katherine Harris

Eh, should have read through the thread before chipping in with my random blather…

@Smedley Darlington Prunebanks (formerly Mumphrey, et al.): Jeb didn’t go to Yale.

Not certain what the gaffe is. My guess it’s the shame of the walk back?

I;m starting to look forward to the GOP presidential candidate gaffe goof and/or garbage of the day.
Especially when its Jeb?
Could BJ make a daily feature?
Could call it the ‘Daily GGG of the GOP!’

@jl: At some point the gaffe, goof, or garbage may rise to the level of a “-gate”.

And for real Obama is the nerd deal. He’s participated in a lightsaber fight on WH grounds.
First nerd President? Is “nerd” a relatively new creation?

Yes, there were. But very few of them. And so it’s been all through history, till the Internet.

This’ll be fun. One of the oh so very few cultural artifacts featuring an empowered woman, and this is how she gets treated. Publicly. By a candidate for President of the United States. Is this still 2015?

Superman, Superwoman, Supergirl… All these movies are boring as shit. Like Thor, or the Hulk, any character who can’t be hurt is a waste of time. Especially in fight scene where two invincible beings are pounding the snout out of each other – all I can think of is the poor people caught in the line of fire.
Give me a superhero like Daredevil any day.
PaulW
I don’t go with ‘nerd’ as that’s someone IMHO more of a techie type. Geeks can come from anywhere and cosplay with the nerdiest of nerds.
NorthLeft12
Well, it is/was Back to the Future day so I guess it is appropriate for Jeb! to remain caught in some horrible loop in time where he keeps committing gaffe after gaffe.
And remember folks…..he is the smart Bush.

@BretH: Agreed. Invulnerability is highly over-rated.
