Please help me’: Jeb Bush was very confused by ‘Sharknado

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush stumbled upon the new Syfy thriller while channel-surfing in his hotel room earlier this week – and he was so floored by what he saw, he recapped his viewing experience the next day in his auto on video. And there’s a thing called ‘Sharknado.’ And I think I see Ann Coulter as vice president of the United States.

So, Jeb Bush says he was flipping around the television dial Wednesday, and ran across a media phenomenon with which he was unfamiliar.

And yes, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban’s take on the presidency during Wednesday night’s premiere of Sharknado 3 was… remarkable.

Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No! is the third in a series of horror, low budget movies about man-eating sharks getting swept into cities by a freak cyclone. The Washington Monument is going down. We were too distracted by the notion of Mark Cuban as U.S. president. Please help me. Give me some information about what’s going on. “I’m culturally illiterate, apparently”.

“This is the strangest show I’ve ever seen”, Bush said in the video.

Cuban, who coincidentally is also a panel member on ABC’s aspiring entrepreneur reality series Shark Tank, later ended up with a shotgun in his hands, exclaiming, “Nobody attacks my house!” as he exits an elevator while cocking said shotgun.

Cuban responded, writing, “Some things just defy explanation”.
