Larry Wilmore could not believe the “gall” former Florida Gov. Jeb “Exclamation Point” Bush showed by not admitting the role his brother, former President George W. Bush, played in the Middle East on Thursday’s “The Nightly Show.”
At first, Wilmore thought Jeb Exclamation Point was going to cop to the role his brother, former President George W. Bush, played in Iraq as Commander in Chief in a speech in Iowa on Thursday.
“Hit me, unnecessary punctuation man!” Wilmore said. “Oh snap, Jeb Exclamation Point is about to call out his own brother. This is like Cain and Abel. Well, it’s the Bushes so it’s more like that time Niles betrayed Frasier by replacing his camembert with an underwhelming brie.”
Instead, Bush said former secretary of state and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s policies were responsible for the rise of the Islamic State.
“This is unbelievable to me that Jeb Exclamation Motherfucking Point Bush actually had the gall to make it seem like this clusterfuck in the Middle East was not started by his brother,” Wilmore said.
Wilmore also got a jab into comedian Bill Cosby.
“I haven’t forgotten about you motherfucker!” Wilmore said. “The only reason I’m here tonight was so I could get to this joke.”
Watch the episode with Cosby jabs and an appearance by Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Julian Castro, from Comedy Central, below:
Oh Larry…the GOP has been blaming Obama for the disaster in Iraq since he took office. After all, unless we occupy Iraq for perpetuity and let our poor young men get slaughtered, the aristocrats can’t feel like they’re doing something. If one studies British History, what one learns is that this is all about Empire. Take over a country, occupy it, hold it no matter how much violence get thrown at us, slaughter the population and take everything worth anything…whether that be oil, wood, metals, or humans.
sorry…I know this is serious stuff but calling calling something an underwhelming Brie is redundant… ALL Brie is underwhelming…
its the French equivalent of American cheese…
Jeb-0 is either intellectually dishonest, willfully ignorant or maybe both.
I wonder if money flowing from his backers in the Oligarchy are going got be able to make this guy smell like a rose? Becuz it’s becoming increasingly apparent that he’s the proverbial empty suit on most any issue.
But JEB isn’t “contaminated” with DC, as he said this morning standing next to contamination-free Chuck Grassley and acting above-it-all…Yea, a snobbier, more aloof Bush should work.
Yes Barb the sane among the electorate know it’s George W running again. We agree with you there have been enough Bushs and Clintons in the White House.
