On Forbes Newsroom, California Democratic Congressman Brad Sherman floated the idea of former President George W. Bush becoming the next Speaker of the House.
“He could come back,” Sherman said. “Obviously, I’m not a real fan of how the Iraq War went, but I would think that any reasonable Republican would be somebody that Democrats could work with — if it was part of a system where you didn’t have five of the most extreme Republicans blocking important legislation and saying, ‘If you bring that to the floor for a vote, we’ll knock you out of your Speakership.’”
Sherman said that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the GOP conference’s choice, would be “among one of the worst Speakers that we could have,” though Jordan would be politically useful for Democrats due to being a “disaster.”
I always thought Bush was too phukkin’ dumb to be a conservative.
I never defended that jackass, and I couldn’t stand Jeb.
I got in trouble with readers on this site when Barbara Bush died and I said Good Riddance.
The dad gave us the Clintons. He couldn’t have run a worse campaign. It seemed to me he was trying to lose.
Nothing we here don’t know. The Bushes may be “good” people, but they’re in league with the Devil, whether they understand that or not.
Ron Paul for speaker. W. for war crimes punishment.
Nucular strategery. Eat your heart out, George.
Piece. Of. Crap.
“…Sherman said that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), the GOP conference’s choice, would be “among one of the worst Speakers that we could have,” …”
That right there is the best endorsement Jordan could ask for. Anything that is bad for a demonrat is good for America.
Keep in mind that the Dems know that whatever they say will be interpreted through a political lens. They may want Jordan and are using the ‘briar patch’ ploy.
Ron Paul my pick as well.
@ Anonymous – agree and much like Mitt Romney
As for GHWB – BFH I am not sure he was deliberately trying to lose so much as Graves’ Disease and the aftermath of Radioactive Iodine did him in. I know personally I was useless and pretending to function for quite some time after 44 millicuries of RAI’ It was existing and not living. I won’t go into the details but taking RAI was the 2nd biggest mistake of my life.
“Please Clap”
May add to the pile this info regarding the No Labels traitors undermining Jim Jordan? I know I know. Mother Jones is iffy but this research seems solid.

They certainly wouldn’t have any difficulty getting their foreign wars funded with a Bush at the helm.
Has anyone read “Fortunate Son” by JH Hatfield? That tells you all you need to know about W, and his family.
The uniparty globalists are being exposed more and more as we the people stop putting up with the bull.
It seemed to me he was trying to lose.”
In ’98 El Rusbo said Bush took a dive!
Boxing slang for lost on purpose.
Rush did not equivocate, Bush Clan elected Clinton!
It makes sense. He loves illegal aliens as much as Bush does.
Fucking loser was my congresstard when I lived in CA.
I have already dealt with certain “friends”. Family is a whole another situation! But have made headway.
I probably should say have lost certain friends.
@Cate I am not sure how much credibility I would give JH Hatfield since he was a convicted felon – trying to hire a hitman to blow up his boss and embezzelment. Although he may have a tiny bit more credibility than Bush
