Bush dynasty is dead

The first paragraph in an article by Jeb Lund, which appears on today's Guardian online.

In announcing the suspension of his campaign, Jeb Bush couldn’t have found a more apt expression for his departure from a contest that was beyond his ken than “I congratulate my competitors who are remaining on the island”.

Jeb has been voted off the island; he is the weakest link; goodbye.
