Gob Bluth was named for Jeb, but Jeb is a

JEB was planning on getting the crew of criminals from Reagan and his brother's administration to have more war adventure fun. You should never feel sorry for JEB! Trump bullying him out of the race was the best thing that man will have done in his entire life.

That and this idea of a single close family having multiple presidents within 3 generations is scary. No to Bush, no to Clinton (Hilary or Chelsea). Roosevelts don't count because those 2 were completely separated.

Also you had 24 years, 5 other Presidents, World War I, and the Great Depression between Teddy and Franklin. There were some Big Things in between those two administrations.

Alternatively, just have a small paragraph's worth of reading that should make you despise Jeb! with every fiber of your being:

Quote of the day, “I was commander-in-chief of the National Guard. I visited Iraq and Afghanistan. The National Guard in Florida took the responsibility of running Abu Ghraib prison. I walked that prison. I saw the heroic effort of the citizen soldiers taking care of their job with great distinction. I supported our Guard in every possible way.” ~ Jeb!
If you don't know what Abu Ghraib is, then have a fun* trip down memory lane of the Bush years:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Ghraib_torture_and_prisoner_abuse

*Disclaimer: Trip is not actually fun, it's miserable as gently caress and will replace all pity you have for Jeb! with hatred.

On his mother's side or something? Because as Teddy's niece, Eleanor was also a fifth cousin but once remove.

Chiles was calling himself a he-coon; the image is of a crafty animal slipping into first place at the last minute. As the article notes, Chiles was famous for having walked a thousand miles across Florida during his first senatorial campaign.

The Roosevelts were absolutely a multi-generation political dynasty, but FDR was widely regarded as a traitor to his family and class. Imagine if one of W's kids instituted minimum income and single-payer.

I feel like I still need twelve more pieces of context before this anecdote makes sense. I don't understand how calling yourself a baffling racial slur in the deep south gets votes.

I mean what you're describing is James Carville going "i'm a sneaky snake person and I'm gonna slither up and steal the election" and people for some reason loved it.

Have you heard about First Dog? It's a very good comic I just love.

Also, wear your bike helmets kids. I copped several blows to the head but my helmet left me totally unscathed.



Finally you should check out First Dog as it's a good comic I like it very much.

The line means something like "I may be old, but I'm crafty", but what Lawton was really saying was "Y'all know I'm a Floridian born and bred, are you really going to had control of our state to that carpetbagger over there?"

Well well, mister fancy-pants, I hope you're wearing your matching sweater today, or you'll be cut down like the ugly tree you are.
Pretty sure this is referring to the "Party of Lincoln", not Lincoln himself. Because said party will die on Super Tuesday when it nominates Trump. :thejoke:

It's a pretty lovely way to refer to the party though.

EDIT: The birth date is Lincoln's birthday which makes it even dumber :psyduck:

I think part of it was the success of Frozen merchandise coming at the expense of Barbies getting them to pay some attention.
