9. I'm sure some Bush will run (for office, any office) again.

I don't buy any of the bullshit 'but Americans won't allow...'

I think we've all seen what Americans will allow.

Far too many Americans have short memories and a good many didn't care about past Bush family abuses to begin with...they either weren't paying attention or cheered the crimes. Then there are those who actively play the 'but that's the past' game - it's to the advantage of the next Bush that runs (for office, any office) that Shrub is never held accountable for his crimes.

So, yeah...a Bush will run again.

It's not as if the Bush name was tarnished by a war crimes trial or anything.
