they were not eager to cooperate on a story just involving jeb's time at kennebunkport.is sort of an important time of his life, but i think they realize the complications of this. you are right -- i mean, it's not mitt romney-style real estate. it's not as large. this no car lift or car elevator in this house. it's pretty basic in terms of the design of the home but i do think that it reminds people of jeb bush and where he comes from and his patrician family, and a name that honestly he is trying to become his own man, as he says, on the campaign trail, so having his parents build him a house on their property overlooking coastal maine is kind of an inconvenient image. mark: you covered governor romney, and he dealt, i think it's fair to say pretty poorly with questions about his wealth and being out of touch. what is your sense of jeb bush now when people come after him being an out of touch rich guy -- how do you think he will handle those issues? matt: to their credit, when they knew what we had, they cooperated. jeb bush sent us an e-mail talking about how he is fo

as they say in kennebunkport, the fourth time is a charm.

blueberry cheesecake day, sports fans, and our tv guide tonight, jeb bush's little house in the kennebunkportund but first, the clintons workaholics.

as they say in kennebunkport the fourth time is a charm. bush: knowing now what we know, what would you have done i would not have gone into iraq. that is not to say that the world is safer because saddam hussein is gone. that is not to say there was a courageous effort to create stability in iraq. all of that is true. that is not to say that the men and women who have served and went to iraq, they did so honorably. but we have answered the question. going forward, what is the role of america going forward? john: does that answer put to rest the flat -- flap? no. you made a concerted effort, but let's just pause on the horrific nature of the performance there. the chippiness at the beginning and the obvious irritation. not handling it in a cool, calm, collected way. and the second thing he alludes to, was the war worth it, he says yes, the war was worth it. he would have gone in. but he is still arguing that it was worth it. that is not a winning place to be. mark: on the one hand, he put this behind him a little bit. i think people will st
