Here’s video of Jeb Bush, complaining about the way that awful President Obama has been brutalizing George W. Bush. The money shot: “His entire strategy is to blame others – starting with my brother, of course.”
You know, Jeb’s right. That’s why I’m glad the Republicans embarked on a full-throated defense of George W. Bush during their convention in August. They really took a stand and defended Bush as the craftsman of a great number of forward-thinking, all-inclusive policies. The fact that George W. Bush was given such a prominent speaking slot during the convention—in prime-time, no less!—proved that Republicans stand behind Bush and everything he stood for. Obama should be ashamed of his hurtful attacks.
Tuesday can’t come soon enough, if for no other reason than to get Paul Constant off this blog. He’s an absolute joke as a reporter, and has infinitely more in common with one of those hellaciously annoying little yip dogs that JUST. WON’T. SHUT. UP. than a thoughtful and opinionated political analyst.
I mean honestly… who made the decision to let this guy be a primary political blogger for the Mercury and the Stranger? He’s beyond awful.
The problem here is that his posts bring in the comments, aka the hits, aka the advertising dollars.
These comments bring advertising dollars? How pray tell?
@showstopper, compulsive commenters run up pageviews. The same way circulation drives ad prices for print, page views and unique visitors drives online ad prices.
Every time you guys freak out about Paul Constant or SJR, you’re guaranteeing there is no financial incentive for Steve to curb either of them.

I personally don’t care about either, nor do I look at any of the ads….but thank you for the explanation CC
