White House Letter
A Few Years, and Then Another Bush?
By ELISABETH BUMILLER
Published: May 29, 2006

WASHINGTON — Bush III? Or has the dynasty run its course?

Those are the questions some Republicans are asking themselves as political talk bubbles up yet again about President Bush's brother Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida and his interest in the White House. The chief driver of the mini-buzz is the current occupant of the White House, who has said twice this month that his younger brother would make "a great president."

No one, the president included, is suggesting that the younger Bush will run in 2008, and Governor Bush, whose second term is up in January, has adamantly ruled it out.

But Republican Party leaders continue to talk seriously about a continuation of the dynasty, a Bush III administration, with Jeb as a candidate in 2012 or 2016, when the memory of the current president's dismal poll ratings will be less of a factor. That, at least, is what happened the last time around: President George Bush's unpopularity at the end of his term in 1992 did not hurt his eldest son when he ran for president eight years later.

"Look, I think he'd be a great president," the current President Bush said in response to a question about Jeb's intentions at a restaurant industry trade show in Chicago last week. "But he said he's not going to run in 2008, and I think you've got to take him for his word. He's been in public life now for eight years, and I think he wants a breather."...

1. How about we indict his ass for election fraud

and send him up the river for twenty years? Florida doesn't let a guy vote after a thing like that, does it?

[Placebo]

2. I really don't think this country could survive another Bush.

[grasswire]

3. Mr. Bumiller is W's Yale classmate

Her reporting is biased thusly.

[autorank]

4. Bumiller smokes the same crack as Judith Miller.....illusion generators

They'd better get rid of current management at NYT.

They are in serious difficulty allowing this type of trash to be published.

Seriously, Jeb polled at about 32 percent favorable recently.

The Republican lock on election fraud is loosening, it couldn't ever last forever.

What will they have left...oh, he's the guy that got his brother in, you know, you remember...

:thumbsdown:"the worst president ever!":thumbsdown:

Word is that the editor of the International Herald, a cousin in the Sulzberger family, is
ready to pounce and toss the idiots out.

Better hurry...won't be much reputation left to trade on.

[Major Hogwash]

11. I agree

It's gotten out of hand at the Times.

[autorank]

15. I don't understand why there isn't action.

Does the board, and that's who is responsible here, does the board think that they can publish crap forever and survive in just NYC. There is no competition there and it would cost a boatload to create it but someone might. Maybe the exiled prince at the International Herald teams up with some mega bucks left leaning individual or group. Just like the Greek tragedies...he returns to NYC under another banner and challenges his family enterprise. Now that would be news.

We can only hope NYT's board gets an infusion of brains and spine. Cornell Medical Center-NY Hospital is my referral...go there, ask the Wizard for really good brains and a new spine...NYT Board members, you will not regret it.

5. Yah and of course we want his wife and kids in the white house

They have all been arrested and are drug addicts and his wife should be declared and illegal and sent back to where she came from

[Webster Green]

6. W can attack Iran, then Jebthro can do Venezuela & Bolivia & Cuba...

...and then Jenna can attack Russia and China and on and on and on.......

It'll be great!

[otohara]

7. "Look, I think he'd be a great president,"

This coming from this worst president in history and have the likes of Elizabeth Bumiller write like it's a serious possibility.

If another Bush somehow becomes president, I'm packing my bags and immigrating to Mexico, illegally if necessary.

[driver8]

8. Not only does Jeb need a breather, but so does this country!!

Another shrub in office and we can kiss this country good-bye. Whatever jr. doesn't steal, Jeb would surely pick up on the next round.

It scares the shit out of me to even think about it. Not only that, but I am sick of hearing about the fucking Shrub family.

Criminals.
