ESTABLISHMENT “REPUBLICAN” THROWING IN THE TOWEL?
Former Florida governor Jeb Bush (far left, above) is in the fight of his political life. His establishment-backed presidential campaign has been a costly flameout … and the “Republican” mega-donors who have been driving the GOP into crony capitalist hell for decades seem poised to pull their support from him and embrace his former understudy Marco Rubio.
So, with barely three weeks before the first votes are cast in the 2016 presidential primary … what’s a Bush to do?
Well … if you answered “enjoy a leisurely lunch at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Florida and then play eighteen holes at the local country club,” congratulations!
Sheesh …
“Every Sunday in our stunning courtyard, we feature an extravagant buffet with delicacies, such as caviar, smoked salmon, shellfish, carved meats, fresh omelets, pastas, sushi and more,” the Biltmore’s website boasts. “Brunch culminates with a wall of desserts prepared to perfection by Executive Pastry Chef Olivier Rodriguez. With live entertainment, bottomless Champagne, Bellinis and more, the Biltmore’s Sunday Champagne Brunch is a must for discerning guests and visitors.”
Nice …
Of course somebody needs to tell this guy you’ve got to win your election before you start goofing off all day.
Sure, Bush enjoyed his long lunch and round of golf on a Sunday, but our guess is those supporting his formerly front-running presidential ambitions would have preferred to see him working crowds in early-voting Iowa, New Hampshire or South Carolina.
Oh well … Bush is toast. And it appears even he knows it …

My favorite, make that the only, cake I eat. Publix sells a pretty good one if a panaderia isn’t readily available.
No business has ever been done on a golf course…especially between people with a ton of money.
Ain’t that where Obama hides from ISIS and Michelle?
It’s where GWB spent way more time hiding from Cheney, so it’s possible.
All I got from this is article is that I can’t wait to get on down to the Biltmore in Coral Gables for that brunch. Damn son….
Here’s hoping Jeb will spend the next five years playing a lot of golf… Oh wait, we already have a President doing that, here’s hoping Jeb realizes the futility of his candidacy soon.
George W. Bush even told you guys to stop getting after Obama playing golf. Damn you guys have little to complain about if golf riles you up that much.
Golf is just like any other crappy sport, maybe Jeb is getting to golf in places the average guy doesn’t but who cares if he golfs? The man has a hundred other things that should disqualify him for office.
Golfers are pussies!
Top 10 things that are dirty in
golf but aren’t —-
10. Nuts . . . my shaft is bent.
9. After 18 holes I can barely walk.
8. You really whacked the hell out of that sucker.
7. Look at the size of his putter.
6. Keep your head down and spread your legs a bit more.
5. Mind if I join your threesome.
4. Stand with your back turned and drop it.
3. My hands are so sweaty I can’t get a good grip.
2. Nice stroke, but your follow through has a lot to be desired.
1. Hold up . . . I need to wash my balls first!

The phrase you will often hear on a golf course…but never in a whorehouse:
“BITE, YOU COCKSUCKER!!!”

Nathan goes to see his doctor. After a lengthy examination the doctor sighs, and says,
“I’ve some bad news for you, Nathan. You have an incurable cancer. I suggest you quickly put your affairs in order.” Nathan is initially shocked, but then, being a calm, solid character, he composes himself and quietly leaves the doctor’s office. His son Max is waiting for him.
“Max,” says Nathan, “we celebrate when things are good and we sometimes celebrate when things are not so good. In my case, Max, things aren’t
so good – I have cancer, so I suggest we go to my golf club for a few drinks.” 4 or 5 glasses of whisky later, the two are feeling a little less sad. Then, after a few laughs and some more glasses of whisky, they are approached by two of Nathan’s club mates, curious as to what Nathan and Max are
celebrating.
Nathan tells them, “Guys, we’re drinking to my impending death. I’ve been diagnosed with AIDS.” His club mates are shocked. They give Nathan their condolences; have a couple of beers and leave. Max then says, “Dad, you tell me you’re dying of cancer yet you tell your friends you’re dying of AIDS. I don’t
understand.”
Nathan replies, “I don’t want any of them sleeping with your mother after I’m gone.”
He shot a bogey in Iowa and New Hampshire, maybe he can do better in Florida.
After a particularly poor game of golf, a popular club member skipped the clubhouse and started to go home. As he was walking to the parking lot to get his car, a policeman stopped him and asked, “Did you tee off on the sixteenth hole about twenty minutes ago?”
“Yes,” the golfer responded.
“Did you happen to hook your ball so that it went over the trees and off the course?”
“Yes, I did. How did you know?” he asked.
“Well,” said the policeman very seriously, “Your ball flew out onto the highway and crashed through a driver’s windshield. The car went out of control, crashing into five other cars and a fire truck. The fire truck couldn’t make it to the fire, and the building burned down. So, what are you going to do about it?”
The golfer thought it over carefully and responded…
“I think I’ll close my stance a little bit, tighten my grip and lower my right thumb.”
Jeb was in Pendleton, SC a couple of days ago. He had enough time to pick Clemson as the winner in the NC game.

Give it up, there is only 1 shifty.
He gets credit for blending two items together to form a perfect fit ….
Ok. Where have the good jokes gone,
Ted and his wife were working in their garden one day when Ted looks over at his wife and says: “Your butt is getting really big, I mean really big! I bet your butt is bigger than the barbecue.”
With that he proceeded to get a measuring tape and measure the grill and then went over to where his wife was working and measured his wife’s bottom.
“Yes, I was right, your butt is two inches wider than the barbecue!!!!”
The wife chooses to ignore her husband. Later that night in bed, Ted is feeling a little frisky. He makes some advances towards his wife who completely brushes him off.
“What’s wrong?” he asks.
She answers: “Do you really think I’m going to fire up this big-ass grill for one little weenie?”
