GOP’s secret idiot? If George P. Bush is its future, the party’s in trouble!


George Prescott Bush, son of Jeb and grandson of George Herbert Walker, is running for Texas land commissioner. Next stop: the White House! As long as he manages to get himself elected land commissioner, that is. It may be tougher than he anticipated, which is to say it may actually require more than simply wanting the job and being named Bush.

Not many Texas voters really understand what the land commissioner does, making it the perfect office for someone with a lot of money and/or name recognition but no prior experience. Unfortunately, it is actually a pretty powerful state office, responsible for millions of acres of land, including mineral rights leasing, making it perhaps not the best office for a political neophyte with no prior government experience.

1. Responsible for mineral rights. The last person I would want in this office is an oil man's family

2. And, keeping in Bush family tradition, George P had a run-in with the law.

Back when he was a Rice University student, Bush was investigated for burglary and criminal mischief related to a 4 AM visit to the Miami home of his ex, Cristina Cohen, and her parents.

A Miami-Dade Police Department report includes an account of the December 31, 1994 incident provided to cops by Murry Cohen, Cristina’s father.

According to Cohen, Bush--wearing black shorts and no shirt--arrived at the residence and “went to his daughter’s bedroom window,” pulled it open, and “pushed the screen inward.” As Bush was “climbing in the window,” Murry Cohen awoke and spotted the trespasser. A neighbor of the Cohens also spotted Bush trying to get into the residence and began to argue with him.

With his intrusion thwarted, Bush “backed out of the window.” Cohen reported seeing Bush then “jump into a vehicle and flee.” But he would not be gone for long.

Bush returned to the home 20 minutes later and drove his car through the Cohens’s yard, causing damage to about 80 feet of the lawn.

Give me a Julian Castro over one of these faux Latinos any day. And I'm not just saying that cause Bush is half Anglo. So, is my daughter and she's so militant, she'd be a Brown Beret if they were still around. Not really, but she is very tetchy. If Bush is counting on the Hispanic angle to win him votes, he's going to be floundering. That's an insult to our intelligence. It was like McCain choosing Palin to try and win over the Hillary supporters. That went over like botulism on a cruise ship. Palin's greatest disapproval ratings came from women and minorities. These guys don't seem to realize that even giving the emperor a top hat and a cane, he still doesn't have any clothes.

7. The GOP complex now known

It’s not a disease, just a normal mental petulance.

Eventually does affect many members of Congress. This is typified by that small caption that appears at the bottom of this editorial. Where a man steaming his tuxedo cuffs shows the inherent vanity with a classical majestic full of grandeur of seventh century tyranny or loyalty servers to a kingdom rather than we the people. This is their normal.

Again, learning about some of the truth that is buffered away from the Fox mainstream media, in total redaction, obscuring to deliberate removing sensitive information about P. Bush behavior for publication or examination...excuse me, they all have the scrubbing tools we should say mainstream media in general paid very well to stick the investigative Journalist eye into the rear end of the Conservative tunnel trying to see the light.

Especially those titillating scandals sounds like juicy banking scams with girlfriends. Please understand this is only my opinion from recursive vanity view. P. Bush having to go through the window when he is used to elevators at home confused the lad.

They could run alligators as candidates, and within 6 years, we'd have 40 Republican reptiles in the US Senate.
