Literally hours after his book has gone on sale, The Smart Bush is disavowing his hard-stance on immigration reform: "We wrote this book last year, not this year.” Stench-like, he wants a do-over on his position.

• Speaking of Do-overs - Wingnuttia is already proposing spending $10B to fund the Defense Department from their own cuts. Whoopsie! (Raw Story)
• Hysterical homophobe Brian Brown, the head of failed social engineer project NOM (the National Organization for Marriage) will receive an honorary doctorate of letters from The American Urban University, which ceased operations in 1989. The degree is as real as Brown's compassion, so all's good. (Pam's House Blend)
• Do it for the children - Xristian Xrazy Iowa statehouse representative Tedd Gassman supports ending no-fault divorce in his state, to protect teenage girls from becoming wanton strumpets (like their mothers? Yes). Just so you don't think he's an uncaring misogynist, Gassman cites his own daughter's divorce and the impact he is sure the divorce will have on his granddaughter, a would-be harlot. Thanksgiving is going to be fun at their house this year. (Think Progress)

Always remember and never forget: the Bush family motto is "public service for private gain."

These people give fuck-all about policy. It's always about winning. Right now, Jebbie's natural constituency is: the Bush family + Cuban mafia + the well-heeled on the senior Bushes' Christmas card list (which is not to be underestimated--that's a book-length compilation of the creepy rich).

The Other Younger Bush and KKKarl have been pow-wowing ever since Rove left the White House, and this is all about scoping out a run in `16. A few low-key public appearances, some testing the waters, maybe some private polling, just to see if it's worth forming an exploratory committee.

When he's lobbying Tricky Ricky Scott to put on Katherine Harris as Secretary of State, you'll know he's serious.
