After taking five whole days to lick his wounds, Former Gov. Jeb Bush — who dropped
out of the Republican presidential race after he came in fourth in South Carolina Saturday — sent an email Wednesday thanking supporters for sticking by his lazy, Eyeore self and defending his lackluster campaign.
It’s probably the last email we’ll be getting from [email protected] — unless there’s an endorsement coming later. Sen. Marco Rubio told reporters on Tuesday that he and his former mentor had spoken by phone and agreed to meet in the future.
“He’s just decompressing from this election,” Rubio is quoted as saying. “And trying to get going again in the rest of his life.”
We guess that begins by sending the saddest political email Ladra has ever read. It’s also as exciting and engaging as the Bush campaign. Exactly. After you read this, you have to think “no wonder.”
Here is Jeb’s goodbye email in its entirety:
“Dear Friend,
I wanted to take just a moment to thank you for all your hard work on my behalf. While the result was not what we had hoped, we communicated very important ideas and campaigned true to the belief that the Republican nominee must be hopeful and optimistic.
Every step of the way, we offered solutions to problems and I spoke out for what I believe, even if that meant I was the only one on the trail willing to challenge the voices of division and demagoguery.
Through your support, you lent strength and conviction to our effort and in particular to the policy ideas for greater economic growth and national security preparedness that we know are so important to the future of our great country.
Despite the results, I still believe we can make this the greatest time to be alive if we fix a few big things, and I will continue to fight for that as a private citizen.
Columba and I appreciate your support and will always remember your steadfast friendship.
Onward!
Jeb”
Onward, indeed. No hint as to who he might back in the important race or what he may be doing as a private citizen. But Ladra forsees some kind of foundation or something. He really can’t go back too the private sector now that he doesn’t have a presidency or other public office in his near future.
Stay tuned. At the very least, we’re going to want to know how he votes on March 15.

Elaine, most of us are starved for yet another trenchant exposé; when are you posting one? How about dissecting this latest Gimenez’ political blunder?

Jo manning n decent human being dont belong in the same sentence after her low rent antics ruining every decent plan or idea on Miami Beach over 20 years
“And influenced”
Ladra,
Why don’t you write any negative stories about Raquelita Regaldo? Because you are receiving compensation from her. You see you don’t avoid a conflict of interest by merely stating publicly that you are employed by Raquelita and think that makes it alright. That is similar to a bank robber publicly admitting to robbing a bank so there is no crime being committed.
So why have you written any negative stories about Raquelita? Because you have been tainted an influenced.
Do you get my point? Of course not.
Ahh, Spring is near and the Gimenite tribe of blood sucking lobbyists and all of their parasites are up and about pledging their support for Carlos Gimenez. Let’s see, how did the toothless one repay your effort Cluless One? new county job, payment under the table, a little greasy contract? all tricks of the trade!
Ah, election season, it brings out the poetry in me.
I sent you a photo of my latest putrid poetry that pertains to person pictured above.
Still love ya bunches and I only believe half of the nasty things that some of your commenters say about you.
So happy to see you are still at it. Am posting the pic to the end of the story now so people can see it.
And thanks for knowing which nasty things about me are true and which aren’t. Muah!
Love, Ladra
deer in the headlights. good riddance.
Yet, he was better than the alternatives…
Wow! LOL Wouldn’t a Rubio/Bush ticket be great? LOL LOL Rubio/insert female name ???
Good riddance! He was a lousy governor and has never struck me as a decent human being 🙁
