ummm...actually, he doesn't say this anywhere in either article, which may be why no quotes were used regarding "his" supposed statement which was actually....
“Context changes; history changes,” he said. "they would have a hard time
if you define the Republican party —
and I don’t — as having an orthodoxy that doesn’t allow for disagreement, doesn’t allow for finding some common ground," “We’re in a political system in general that is in a very different place right now.” Bush said, adding that he views the hyper-partisan moment as "temporary."
he didn't refer to the GOP as being hyper-partisan but he referred to the current state of politics as "hyper-partisan", which is accurate and he blames Obama for much of that state
Bush called the present partisan climate "disturbing."
"It’s just a different environment left and right," he said of "this dysfunction."
And Bush also blamed President Obama for much of the conflict.
Bush also criticized Obama for placing political gain ahead of negotiation in Washington -- citing the failure of the president’s task force on debt and spending led by former Senator Alan Simpson of Wyoming and Erskine Bowles, a former chief of staff to former President Bill Clinton.
‘‘If he was a transcendent figure, which is what he ran as, I think he’s failed,” Bush said of Obama.
The president “had a chance” to address the long-term deficit with the remedy that Simpson and Bowles recommended, a package of taxes and spending cuts, he said, but didn’t “for political reasons.”
“It was purely a political calculation,” he said. “He created Simpson-Bowles and then abandoned it at birth.”

fine bit of journalism there
...and zimmyism
"Typical moronic scare tactic based not on the truth or reality, but on what gets people fired up. Almost not worth justifying with a response"
"Why do they have to lie and distort everything?"
"Almost certainly, none. Better to run with it since it fits the mantra of farse and unbalanced news."
"Common sense isn't very common, but it is sure brought up all the time."
"So then the whole premise of the original post is invalid."
"I wasn't even 100% sure it was since the details of it are nonexistent, but I am glad to find out that I was correct."
"This is some funny shizzle."
"This isn't more "my perception must be reality" ?"
Where did you get your info? Did you investigate the details?"
... is it even honest?"
"That and most commentators on there say a bunch of crap that isn't really true, but many in those masses who are listening lack the gray matter to actually analyze multiple sources of information and form valid conclusions"
