US right looks to Bush the younger
Sarah Baxter in Washington



WITH an approval rating of 63%, one Bush is riding high in the polls. But his first name is Jeb and he will be out of office by January. Republicans who think he is too good a politician to waste are hoping to persuade the governor of Florida to become Senator John McCain’s running mate in the 2008 presidential election.
President George W Bush’s younger brother is keeping busy during his final months in power after running one of America’s most critical swing states for nearly eight years. Next month he is travelling to Britain and Ireland for nine days on behalf of “Team Florida”, visiting Farnborough air show and promoting local business links.

British officials believe it is an unusually long stay for an outgoing governor, which suggests he has a wider agenda. In April he visited Afghanistan and Iraq, an essential trip for presidential hopefuls.

In The Family, a book about the Bush dynasty, Kitty Kelley recounts how in 1998, George W and Jeb, then both governors, were asked about the presidency. “Listen, I didn’t want to grow up wanting to be president of the United States,” said George W.

“I did,” said Jeb.

Say it isn't so....

Why does the GOP want to sic Bush the Sociopath on us?

and just kill me now?

Bush may have a 63% approval rating in Florida, but, assuming that rating doesn't drop, it's just that: a 63% approval rating in Florida.

Outside Florida, people will see "Bush" and say "Not another one!" due to the current Bush's ratings. The name will bring him down outside Florida (except maybe in Utah) and he will bring McCain down with him.

I put my head under the pillows and moan pitifully. No fucking way, please all that is good out there, don't let this man get anywhere close to governing again.

What's their slogan going to be? "McCain/Bush 08: because that thing on John's face just keeps getting bigger all the time"? Sheesh.

Christ these guys have been lying so long they can't even remember their own names.

and they need to keep in power so all their crimes against humanity never get out. I predicted long ago the fat one would be running next, and with the way the voting works now, the will of the people doesn't mean shit. Our democracy is a joke.

Hate to break it to you, Jeb, but your big brother has single-handedly, and for all time, gutted and bled out any chance for you to polish your presidential ambitions.

Be gone.
