Like the Clintons, the Bushes drag the country through national traumas that spring from their convoluted family dynamic and then disingenuously wonder why we concern ourselves with their family dynamic.
Without their last names, Hillary and Jeb [sic] would not be front-runners, buoyed by networks of donors grateful for appointments or favors bestowed by the family.
In Dowd's mind, receiving blow jobs from an adult intern is as traumatic as illegal wars, hundreds of thousands of needless deaths, torture as national policy, war profiteering and the destruction of the economy. (That's not a joke; it's a statement of fact, confirmed endlessly in Dowd's drivel over the past decade.) And in Dowd's mind, Hillary was getting blown too.
Dowd correctly asserts that JEB is not responsible for his brother's crimes, but is responsible for seeking counsel from GWB's criminal co-conspirators. (Dowd gives an inexplicable pass to bin Laden family bag man and happy Jew-fucker James Baker.) But then she inexplicably ejaculates:
If he wants to reclaim the Bush honor, Jeb [sic] should be holding accountable those who inflicted deep scars on America, not holding court with them.How can there be any Bush honor to reclaim when it was the President Bushes who were -- as well as employed -- the war criminals in the first place? How could citizen JEB hold accountable the war criminals in any event? And when has Dowd ever demanded actual accountability from any Bush, ever?
Dowd repeats the canard that GWB was merely stupid rather than both evil and stupid, arguing that cronies of Bush the Elder, including Cheney and Rumsfeld, "absconded" with GWB's presidency. (GWB as the real victim of Iraq was the same tale Dowd told in 2012, and she's recycling that tale now.) She also claims Paul Wolfowitz was merely a naif. None of these bogus beliefs could restore "Bush honor," even if it had ever existed.
Dowd excuses the Bushes' crimes by psychobabbling about dysfunction where greed, malice and corruption easily explain everything. And she believes that suction and torture are equally evil.

Dowd is just one of many who think Poppy was an honorable man when, in fact, he was just as skeevy as all the rest of them.
I've long held that the Bush family motto should be "public service for private gain," and the younger Bush is no less a proponent of that attitude than the rest of `em. The bigger problem that Dowd and others seem not to recognize is that, now that they've had a taste of real power, having hoodwinked the public multiple times, we won't be able to stop them from coming at us and there are so goddamned many of them that they now should be seen as a multigenerational pestilence.
His nickname is Jeb. Do you write "William (not Bill) Clinton" or "James (not Jimmy) Carter"?
His initials are JEB.
Jimmy Carter doesn't call himself JEC, nor does Bill call himself BJC, for obvious reasons.
