Jeb Bush is going to need more than an exclamation point at the end of his name to generate excitement in New Hampshire, Boston.com reports.
During a speech at the Hanover Inn on Tuesday, Bush’s “fiery riff” on protecting the country didn’t generate the response he wanted, The New York Times reports:
Mr. Bush finished a fiery riff about protecting the country as commander in chief — “I won’t be out here blowharding, talking a big game without backing it up,” he said — and was met with total silence.
“Please clap,” he said, sounding defeated.
The crowd laughed — and then, finally, clapped.
Tough crowd.

Meh. He sounded (to me, anyway) like he was being humorously self-deprecating.
Nebach, not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
