Jeb Bush may run after 2008
Good luck, Jeb. Nobody with his last name will ever win a national election again.


http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/13/AR2005111300319_pf.html

BERLIN (Reuters) - Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, the brother of U.S. President George W. Bush, ruled out running for president in 2008 but left open the possibility of a subsequent bid in an interview with a German magazine published on Sunday.

snip.

"You should never say never. But for the 2008 election, my answer is definitely no," he said, in comments translated into German by the magazine.

Asked whether his answer meant a later challenge was possible, he said: "Let's say there's a vague chance."

Bush, 52, said he spoke frequently with his brother and visited the White House whenever he was in Washington but he said the two mainly discussed family matters or sport.

... the one whose wife was caught with undeclared goods at the border? The one whose daughter is a druggie? The one whose son was recently arrested for D&D?

You can only put SO MUCH lipstick on a pig ...

7. Sure, let a Democratic President clean up his brother's mess and
then he'll come in and undo it all, rip off Americans and make the BFEE and all their nasty evil bidness buds even richer. Been down that road already Jebthro! Go Away!

9. JB was one of the original signatories of the PNAC.
That puts him up the ideological food chain at a place that, in a real democracy, would be precarious at the very least. Should Real Democracy return through de-fascist-izing, look to Brazil to host these anti americans.
