Jeb Is Bush-League: Flint Water Crisis Caused by Regulations (cough)

Bush came off as lacking in charisma. Now it seems he's got a hole in his head.

Bush: Pollution happens. Don't regulate it!

If the conservatives want to keep proving the case against them, just keep talking like this:

On ABC’s This Week, co-host Martha Raddatz asked Bush who is to blame for the ongoing water crisis in Flint, Michigan, and the fact that the city of more than 100,000 Americans had been “drinking, eating, brushing their teeth in lead-contaminated water, while the government was telling them repeatedly ‘it’s safe to use.'”

“We’ve created this complex, no responsibility regulatory system, where the federal government, the state government, a regional government, local and county governments are all pointing fingers at one another.” He proposed simply having a “21st century system of rules: Whenever you see a problem, it should become public, there should be transparency instead of trying to cover it up.”

Catch the dodge? Our regulatory system is "no responsibility." Sorry Jeb, but where the regulations were violated you'll find the "responsibility." Another dodge? Rick Snyder attempting to act like he's so incompetent and uninformed that it's impossible that he could be "responsible."

More Irony 101: I thought the Republican Party was the party of individual responsibility, Yeah, unless a Republican is caught fucking children's brains all to Hell. So, yeah, Bush does a flim-flam on us. Asshole. Wait. He's being transparent! Jeb is transparently an asshole.

Some progress. Baby steps.
