‘Jeb!’ is fine and all, but we had some other ideas for Jeb Bush’s campaign logo - The Washington Post



About 20 years ago, Al Franken made the joke that if Arlen Specter ran for president, his signs would have to say "Arlen!", because no one wants to vote for a "Specter".

Life imitates art.

It's a mild coincidence, but it reminds me of the show "That's my Bush!" Extraneous or superfluous exclamation points really irritate me.

I remember during the Nixon days his CREP (creep) Committee to Reelect the President.

If Ted Kennedy had been driving a VW, he would be president today. (National Lampoon ad showing a VW Beetle floating on the water)

Political humor, one of my favorites!

Of course, this could just be the best they could come up with, but the official "inside" story on Ted and Mary Jo is that there was another woman in the car who Ted left the party with.

Earlier, Mary Jo, who was making overt advances towards Ted, had crawled into the back of his car and passed out drunk.

Neither of them knew Mary Jo was in the car, and it was the situation with the still living woman which sent them down the road of pretending it didn't happen, until the body showed up.

This says nothing about its legitimacy of the story, but my source is legit, and knows these people.

I have no idea how a thread about Jeb veered into Nixon and Ted Kennedy.

Jeb! should be careful what he asks for.

Political humor. 70 percent of what we'll be seeing in the election cycle is ripe for poking fun. An egg carton of Repub's and Broom Hilda on the Demo side. Lets see how fast they self destruct.

I'd like to see an homage to Michael Moore's Ficus plant stunt by running an actual bush against Jeb. I figure a worthwhile proportion of his supporters can be tricked into voting for the wrong bush.
I have plenty of more important things to do, if only I could bring myself to do them....

I found this amusing as a) it captures the design process so well, b) some of the other "versions" are much better, and c) hee.

I like the tie-dye version.
