1. They would NEVER confirm him.

[depakid]

5. They've confirmed just about everyone else

so I wouldn't count on it.

[fooj]

14. After the Kennedy's they passed a law saying no IMMEDIATE FAMILY

appointments to Cabinet positions. It'll never happen.

[depakid]

17. That's nice to know-

Thanks!

Nepotism usually ends up with poor results.

[bdamomma]

2. oh, god, you never know with these criminals.

[bdamomma]

3. oops double post

[mike_c]

4. bwahahaha....

That would only hasten his demise, now. Maybe he'll try to make Bolton SecState and move Condi over to AG instead. After all, his hubris is pretty boundless. :rofl:

I have a feeling the :rofl: smilie is going to get a lot of use in the coming months, along with the :popcorn: smilie!

6. Bush

I woul think that Bush is probably keeping the VP seat open for Jeb.

7. Not an option, thanks to the Republicans.

Say, thank you, far-seeing Republicans.

They hated Kennedy's appointment of Bobby to AG SO MUCH, they made it illegal for it to happen ever again.

[hedgehog]

11. They made it illegal?

[Greyhound]

15. Yep. I wonder how many time the Republiks will pull this kind of

shit, only to have it later come back and bite them in the ass, before they realize that whatever laws they ram through will remain long after the motivating circumstance is dimly remembered history?
:kick:

16. i thought this was an urban myth. Its not, but I'm not sure how we can blame the repubs

I thought that it was an urban myth that Congress had passed an antinepotism law applicable to the president, but apparently its true (5 USC 3110).

However, the posts here pin this on repubs (as in the repubs made it illegal). Not sure we can make that stick. The law was enacted in 1967, when the Democrats controlled the House by 60 votes (247-187) and the Senate by a 64-36 margin.

8. Their Excuse - Kennedy Did It......nt

[no_hypocrisy]

9. Jeb, you're no Robert F. Kennedy. This is not Camelot Redux. n/t

[sinkingfeeling]

10. Doesn't the AG have to have a law degree?

[Benhurst]

13. If Jeb doesn't have a law degree, the Bush Crime Family can probably

get Harvard to give him one just as they gave an MBA to Dubya.

12. Jeb's a liar, but he's not a lawyer.
