Oh, Dear Lord....
no, please, make it stop...

Second President Bush floats prospect of a third

(CNN) – 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."

There had been wide speculation in 2000 that Jeb Bush would enter the Republican primary race that was won by his brother.

During the SkyNews interview, first lady Laura Bush added that public service was an "unbelievable” life.

"One of the reasons George and his brother, Jeb, served in office is because they admired their father so much," she said.

Asked whether that meant her husband was not “the last Bush," she responded: “Well, who knows. We'll see."

He'll either be in jail or Paraguay before then.

5. You know what's really scary....
george the lesser was so awful at being POTUS that more than once over the past 8 years I have found myself thinking "Jeb couldn't be THIS bad". But now that it's been floated by shrub I find myself slightly nauseous at the mere thought of it...

6. Americans are not big on dynasties.
That's why there hasn't been another Kennedy in the White House, and a factor in Hillary's not getting the nomination. We prefer to take our chances on someone new -- and actually did so in 2000 and again in 2004 but to no avail -- rather than put another family member in power.

This applies only to the White House. Political "dynasties" have more or less occurred at lower levels of elected office.

8. No chance.
The entire world is tired of Bush. Even the Republicans can't stand him.
