Once again, I find myself not in agreement with Jeb Bush.
I watched that Super Bowl Halftime show last night featuring Shakira and J-Lo and it seemed to me like something you might see in a trashy strip club.
Is this “women’s empowerment”?
Scantily clad butts and other body parts hanging out and thrusting your hips over and over and twirling around on a stripper pole?
This is what passes for a Super Bowl halftime show now?
I wasn’t sure whether I was supposed to clap, turn the TV off, or throw dollar bills at the screen!
I knew it was bad when my 3-year old said “Daddy, I can see her butt!”
It’s like the old story of the Emperor who had no clothes.
They put a strip show on national TV and tell us how artistic it is and we’re all supposed to applaud and praise it.
Yet even a 3-year old knows trashy when they see it.
But good old Jeb dutifully tweeted out the party line….”Best halftime show ever”.
Ok Jeb.
Here's more, from The Hill:
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) proclaimed Sunday that the Super Bowl 54 halftime show was the "best" ever after a performance by pop stars Shakira and Jennifer Lopez wrapped up in Miami.
The two singers' performance was highlighted with heavy Latin American influences and Lopez's costume, which she revealed to show the colors of the Puerto Rican flag.
Bush tweeted after the show ended: "Best Super Bowl half time show ever."
Bush's tweet was favorited and retweeted thousands of times, with some users including the account for Barstool Sports mocking Bush over his reaction.

Tonight’s Super Bowl LIV halftime show drew criticism from some conservatives online, but several prominent Florida Republicans — including former Gov. Jeb Bush — tweeted their praise.
Jennifer Lopez and Shakira‘s performance showcased both women’s energetic dancing and singing, earning both criticism from those who thought it was too racy for a show watched by many children as well as praise from those who marveled at the “age-defying” performances (Lopez is 50 and Shakira is 43).
The negative comments generally focused on the women’s outfits and dance moves, specifically Lopez’s routine on a stripper pole and Shakira’s tongue-wagging, a celebratory vocal expression known as a “zaghrouta,” reflecting her Lebanese heritage.
In contrast, among the fans of the halftime show were Bush, as well as both of Florida’s senators, Sen. Marco Rubio and Sen. Rick Scott.

Both Bush and Rubio live in Miami, and voiced their appreciation for the Miami flavor of the halftime show. “Best Super Bowl halftime show ever,” tweeted Bush. Rubio declared it an “A+.”
Scott agreed that the show was “great” but complained about Pitbull (another Miami native) not being included.
