In his latest head-scratcher moment, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush left himself wide open for a swipe from Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL)—never a good idea—while leaving others wondering what the heck it was he was thinking, let alone talking about.

While there may be a point beneath Jeb’s comment, it’s difficult to understand. A diabetic doesn’t need a watch to know an ice cream sundae isn’t a smart dietary choice. Maybe Jeb’s Paleo diet is going to his head?

You’re a diabetic, you can’t do that, whatever.”

Wasserman Schultz responded via Twitter:
