Jeb Bush gave a plea for help in a video recently released by his presidential campaign. He watched “Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!” last night and didn’t grasp the film’s intricate plot.

“I think I see Ann Coulter as Vice President of the United States. It’s
kinda weird. And here are sharks coming out of the sky, people are getting killed,” he said. “The White House is being collapsed. The Washington monument is going down. And lo and behold Mark Cuban is President of the United States.”

The third movie in the Sharknado series involves a monstrous tornado that releases sharks from Washington, D.C. to Florida.

“Please help me, give me some information about what is going on,” he said in the video. “I’m culturally illiterate apparently.”

  1. The clowns are trying to outdo one another. I thought Trump would make it more entertaining, but the others’ desire to catch some of his press (Rand’s wood chipper, Lindsey’s phone destruction, now this) means it will be a long, dark campaign.

  2. It’s what Jeb’s plan to end Medicare should be called.

  3. “The third movie in the Sharknado series involves a monstrous tornado that releases sharks from Washington, D.C. to Florida.”

    The third movie in the Bush series involves a monstrous family that releases wars and corruption from Washington DC to Florida.

  4. Maybe this explanation will help:

    Sharknado is one of those things that gets a lot of attention on Twitter and generates a lot of discussion in the media, even though no one in the real world actually seems to be watching. Basically, it’s the Tea Party of made-for-TV movies.

    (If you’re still talking about Sharknado in 2015, you are indeed culturally illiterate.)
