Can't think of another showboater with the books they've "written" - O'LOOFAH, BecKKK, Shrub himself - who even mention that they had co-writers (who probably wrote the whole things themselves) for their products.
So Jeb Crow Shrub has been blaming his immigration flip flop on, "Look, my co-writer and I decided..." and on the D.C. mentality where everything is tied to "personal ambitions as a motive, and this isn't the case (with me)."
On This Week, he was pretty much hung out to dry in the panel discussion, where it was noted that the book was being, er, PUT TOGETHER back when the Rethugs were primarying and vociferously anti-all-immigration paths and it's coming out now that the Rethugs have, er, adjusted to a "path to citizenship" coincidentally after an election showed them they won't ever win without some kind of, er, "adjusting" themselves, on *many* fronts.
He actually attempted a puppy dog face, contrasting with his usual arrogance, with STEPANOPOULIS who was telling him that even his friend/ally Lindsey GRAHAM had said the flip flop didn't help things. He tried out a line that what is needed is to make it "more cost effective" to immigrate legally than illegally, which Debbie WASSERMAN-SHULTZ laughed out of the room as lame.
Really, I had been trembling for years at having The Smart Shrub for our future Dem candidate having to face someday, but any one of our many outstanding stemwinding speakers at our '12 convention will be able to knock him totally OUT!1

Same with Christie. The GOP has no one. By 2016, we will have a SOMEONE to beat their NO ONE.

No thanks. Not another Bush. PLEASE. The thought of it turns my stomach.
Let's face it. The Bush boys are not competent.
