George W. Bush says “I hope Jeb runs”

[TexasTowelie]

WASHINGTON –Sounds like Jeb Bush is really keeping his own counsel when it comes to running for president — to the point that his own brother isn’t sure.

“I hope Jeb runs. I think he would be a great president. I have no clue what’s on his mind and we will talk when he’s ready. I notice he is moving around the country quite a bit,” George W. Bush told CNN’s Jake Tapper in an interview from the Crawford ranch that aired this afternoon.

“I really have not talked to Jeb about the presidency. It’s hard for people to believe,” Bush said. “Hey Jeb, if you need some advice, give me a call.”

The comments cemented the idea that the family is encouraging or, at the least, not averse to seeing the dynasty extended. Jeb’s son, George P. Bush, is the GOP nominee for land commissioner in Texas.

1. When I heard GWB, on the evening news say, he hoped his brother would run for President, it made me

feel like throwing up. Sickening to think about another Bush screwing this country. Both of them need to listen to their mother. By the way, Barbara Bush told Sarah Palin to go home to Alaska and stay there.

2. The RNC Convention in Las Vegas (or anywhere) would be AWKWARD

If Jeb is the nominee, do you bring brother Dubya to rally the base while EVERY Liberal within 200 miles would probably be protesting just outside, cursing the hell out of Dubya's appearance.

And if they don't bring dummy Dubya to the convention, then they will be scoffed at for being the cowardly maggot Tea-cowards they always have been.

4. I hope Jeb runs too

Considering how toxic teh Bush name still is, nothing would be more likely to ensure a Democratic landslide.
