This is an amazing photograph of Jeb Bush.

He is touching himself and being touched. He is sneering at the camera but also seducing it. He is Dionysus in the midst of frenzy. He is Jesus Christ dying for America’s sins. He is Russell Westbrook surrounded by his people. He is Sid Vicious in rimless glasses. He has transcended Jeb completely, while also hinting at an inner facet of Jeb that has yet to be discovered. Who is Jeb Bush, anyway? We may never know, but this photo almost makes me want to find out.
