A president named Jeb?


If President George W. Bush has his way, his younger brother and current Florida governor Jeb Bush one day will run for President of the United States.

"I would like to see Jeb run at some point in time, but I have no idea if that's his intention or not," Bush said in an interview with Florida reporters, according to a story on the St. Petersburg Times Web site.

Great. That's just what we need in this country...a Bush dynasty/monarchy. As if having a Bush in the White House for twelve out of twenty years isn't more than enough...

Of course, given Jeb Bush's status as a charter member of PNAC, it shouldn't surprise many that the neo-cons would want one of their boys to be the next person to inhabit the Oval Office. And despite what many are saying about Jeb's lack of interest in running in 2008, don't believe a word of it. He's part of the grand plan. And he most certainly will be on the Republican ticket two years from now. About the only thing that could stop it from happening is if Democrats are able to wrest control of Congress this fall and begin the investigative and/or impeachment processes to bring down the current president and his corrupt and incompetent administration. Such a scenario would spell "curtains" for any presidential aspirations that Jeb may hold.

Since Jeb's tenure as Florida governor is up later this year, he will have plenty of time on his hands to plan his campaign. And some of that time may be spent trying to figure out how to overcome two of his children's penchant for going afoul of the law. Noelle and Jebby will be popular names on the campaign trail should Jeb Sr. make it that far. Should be interesting, to say the least.

Ugh. This is not happening, is it? Sounds like a joke that JB would even consider it, but the current situation shows that you don't really have to be qualified. At least people can stop blaming Texas for all things Bush when the focus shifts to this one.

I had heard some time ago that Jeb's wife had zero interest in her husband's running for Prez. She doesn't like the limelight, and the fact that her kids' misdeeds will receive severe scrutiny may be enough for her to put the kibosh on Jeb's bid. One can hope, anyway.

We hate to sound arrogant and obnoxious while being a tease at that but We wanted to at least pass along that there is indeed a reslolute answer to your speculations.

M1:

Your alleged insight piques my interest. Of course, that's nothing new. I look forward to your bean spillage when the timing is right.
