I don't believe Americans are dumb enough to allow a third bush in.

I think they are dumb enough. I wouldn't discount it happening in the future.

Read my lips, if there are WMD in Iraq, I'll vote for a bush. < :-)

Americans should be thankful that Mr and Mrs Bushes have just 'twiddle dee and twiddle dum' for sons. Hasn't Double You's eight years cause enough destruction to a super power such as America? No wonder they say that every mother's goose is a swan.

Any chance Jeb had for President was destroyed by his dopey failure of a brother.

ditto, zurconium

Sadly, Jeb would have propably made a much better president than his brother. They said GB senior cried when Jeb retired the governership becasue he knew it should have been Jeb rather than W, and that there was no way in hell it would ever happen now.

triumvere,

jeb lost his first run for governor in florida while schrub won his first run for the texas job. That put W. in the driver seat for the 2000 run.

Agree that Jeb would have been better than W., but barney would have done a better job as well.

"Agree that Jeb would have been better than W, but barney would have done a better job as well"

Don't know 'bout that, but Barney would probably do a better job than the incoming president is going to do.

Jeb 'n Sarah in 2012!

Or Sarah 'n Jeb in 2012!

At least the old man still has a sense of humor. Jeb for president, yeah right, that is about as likely as some dumb hick from Alaska being V.P.

Sarge - "Jeb 'n Sarah in 2012! Or Sarah 'n Jeb in 2012!"

Ha ha, funny joke - thanks. :-)

Quite clearly, Sarge isn't satisfied with the destruction GWB has wrought on America. Sarge wants more.

Some would call that ambition.

Others wouldn't....

I always liked George senior truth be told, but I'm afraid he's dillusional. After the job that W. did there will not ever be another Bush in the Whitehouse. George W. has poisoned his family's name in politics.

You know, eight years ago this seemed plausible. But after W I doubt another Bush could ever be elected; even if he wasn't related.

Expat, I think most parents are delusional about our kid's abilities or prospects. It's one way to avoid seppuku....

No matter what political family we were to talk about, I would have a hard time supporting three presidents coming from one family. Iran Contra, the Florida recount and w's disastrous 8 years multiply that difficulty exponentially, regarding the bush's.
