Senior Bush plugs Jeb for president 'someday'



(CNN) -- Florida Gov. Jeb Bush would be "awfully good" in the job of president, but the timing isn't right, his father and former President George H.W. Bush told CNN Tuesday. Asked if he would want Jeb to run, Bush said, "Someday I would, yes."

Jeb Bush is in his second gubernatorial term, which ends in January 2007. His brother George ends his second presidential term in January 2009 and cannot run again.

"He'd be awfully good," the elder Bush said. "This guy's smart, big and strong. Makes the decisions. And you know, not without controversy, but he's led that state."

But the former president, who turns 81 this month, said, "The timing's wrong. The main thing is, he doesn't want to do it." But he added, "Nobody believes that."

1. Who besides his mommy and daddy will go to bat for him?

2. Barf!

I've seen this story several times today and it's made my stomach turn each time. The thought is beyond horrifying.

3. I am so sick of the "liberal" media sucking up to this family...

....didn't you folks have a little scuffle about getting rid of another Royal Family a couple of centuries ago?

Why is this royal family any different?

Time to wake up and smell the coffee.....

4. As someone who lives in Jeb's state, let me just say...

Gag me.

The Bush family must be against cloning because they want to maintain a monopoly. Jeb and George are from the same mold. The first is as bad for Florida as the second is for the country. What a truly frightening, frightening thought to have yet another shrub in the White House. Gives me shivers.

5. For "smart, big, strong, not without controversy" read...

Smarter than his brother, morbidly obese, likes to beat people up, a lying amoral rat fink.

[HughBeaumont]

6. Jeb looks like a dumb ex-frat tackle gone fat.

Big puffy idiot dick tit. I'm moving to Halifax if Diebold selects this son of a bitch.

7. How will they hide the drug addled daughter and the angry son?

Not to mention the wife, Columba, who got caught trying to avoid paying taxes on clothes she brought back from Paris?

8. Or domestic violence poster boy George P. Bush...

George P. Bush might be a hunkalicious young Republican, but he still seems a bit creepy. So TSG wasn't too surprised to learn that "P" was involved in a troubling 1994 incident described in this Metro-Dade Police Department report. On December 31, 1994, Bush showed up at 4 AM at the Miami home of a former girlfriend. He proceeded to break into the house via the woman's bedroom window, and then began arguing with his ex's father. Bush, then a Rice University student, soon fled the scene. But he returned 20 minutes later to drive his Ford Explorer across the home's front lawn, leaving wide swaths of burned grass in his wake. Young Bush avoided arrest when the victims declined to press charges.

12. This will be chalked up to being "young and irresponsible."

If there is another bush foisted upon us, I think it will be "P."

[City Lights]

9. "Awfully good" as president sounds too much like "darn good" intelligence

to me. That's bushspeak for "he sucks." :evilgrin:

10. My wife will smuggle you a great life

[flordehinojos]

11. has there ever been a president in these here U.S.A. who has wanted to

hold on, and hold on, and hold on to the white house, even if vicariously so through his seedling sons?

old poopard doesn't want to let go--so he fixes it so his sons are the figureheads but HE is the backdoor ratzident.

[MsTryska]

13. well i agree with his dad on one thing...

he's big.

[PurityOfEssence]

14. Big strong and sexy, why I'd fuck him if he weren't my boy...

(Or, I guess, rather, I'd swoon and let him do ME.)

There's an incredible amount of homoeroticism in the typical right winger's hero worship, isn't there? It's like the love of Junior: he just struts out there and smashes anything that makes him lose his patience; what a man.

The myth of the individual is taken to the absurdest of extremes among conservatives, and it need to be pointed out how silly it makes them all seem.
