For only the second time in nearly three decades, there won’t be a Bush on the presidential ballot this November. But that absence may not be a permanent one, the current White House occupants hinted Sunday.

President Bush was asked by a SkyNews correspondent whether the end of his term marked the end of the Bush presidential dynasty that began with his father’s Oval Office tenure 20 years ago.

In response, Bush singled out his brother, who has often been mentioned as a possible Republican presidential contender. "Well, we've got another one out there who did a fabulous job as governor of Florida, and that's Jeb,” he said. “But you know, you better ask him whether or not he's thinking of running. But he'd be a great president."

10. It is amazing how many who do vote only know a name. That is the

truly scary part. I remember back during Ray-GUN's term when one of the morning shows went out on the street for interviews and half of the New Yorkers they stopped could not even name the Vice President (Bush.) That was a wake-up call for me. Americans are truly backward and provincial...we have no idea of the culture and knowledge we are missing.

11. Hopefully he's just hoping for a third term through the election of McSame.

As to the Bush family, let's hope that Americans will continue to realize that they have been more-than-sufficiently Bushwhacked.
