Notorious characters whose spectacular crimes dash their siblings’ career aspirations are nothing new. Just ask Chef Jaffrey Dahmer, rejected by every steakhouse in Milwaukee. Or pilot Brohammad Atta, banned from cockpits worldwide. Or fund manager Bennie Madoff, sadly unable to attract a single investor.

Of course, world-historical failure GWB doesn’t acknowledge that his massive fuckups are an albatross around Jebbie’s neck — he attributes it to the specter of “enough Bushes,” which is a species of humble-brag if you unpack it. Still, the inadvertent sabotage to Jeb’s career might turn out to be the only righteous piece of collateral damage GWB ever caused.
