Has he no shame?

No, I'm not talking about GW Bush, I'm talking about his brother Jeb. How in the hell can you be the brother of a war criminal and decide to "form and exploratory committee" to run for the presidency? Can he really not feel any shame? Does he really think another member of his decrepit criminal family deserves to be in office?

Jen didn't order the torture, hell he hasn't even held office since 2002. Sure they are brothers but this is an unfounded attack IMO.

Have at me.

and I am sure the media is not going to persistently question him about the subject and if they do, he will probably say "I don't know the information that my brother had, so I can't comment on it." and will then get away with not responding to the question.

7. Is he going to run on " I'm not as bad as my brother" so vote for me

And he just like his Dad so vote for me.

It is a long shot. The rethug/tea/kkk are so far to the right and batshit crazy that Jeb will be portrayed as a liberal.

A few years back Jeb and his buddies ran this scam;

1) They would buy some real estate

2) Jeb and buddies would then declare a bankruptcy

3) Then Jeb and buddies would then buy back the same real estate from the banks
for dimes on the dollar.

From Grandad Prescott (Hitler's Banker) on down to HW, W, Neil and Marvin these
pieces of shit have cost America and the world trillions of dollars and God only knows
how many millions of lives lost or ruined. But right now our "liberal media" is trying
to polish that "Bush Turd" into a diamond ..... freaking Condi Rice helped to pick the
final 4 for college football.

...if we can't even agree that the war crimes happened?

The Bush crime family has proven it can do whatever it wants, consequence-free.
