Don’t put a period at the end of the Bush era just yet. Politico reports that former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush may run for the U.S. Senate seat held by Mel Martinez, who announced Tuesday that he won’t seek re-election in 2010. After the November election, Bush offered a prescription for the GOP that included showing no tolerance for corruption, practicing limited government, embracing reform and standing for working families and small businesses. Bush also recently said that the GOP needs to broaden its base to avoid becoming “the old white-guy party.”

Will ALL of you Bushs’ please fcuk off and die?
I keep forgetting that there are still plenty of dipsihts in this country. They just love them baked beans of theirs!
If you mean “fuck” why don’t you just write “fuck.” Gawd, what a bunch of weenies.
A fun read is “The Bush Tragedy,” by Jacob Weisberg.
A lot of concise, well-researched account of Shrub and all of what’s happened over the past 8 years.
Jeb was the smart brother. Jeb was the guy who was supposed to follow George HW Bush to the presidency. Dumbya beat him to it, though, and ruined the Bush brand.
Florida is weird, though. And the word is Jeb isn’t nearly as stupid as his big brother.
There’s a lot of evidence George HW Bush is desperate to rehabilitate the Bush “brand,” after Srub’s fiasco of a presidency. I wouldn’t be in the least surprised if word gets out the Bush family pressured Martinez to announce his retirement.
Shrub told Charlie Gibson he was gonna miss flying on Air Force One and the White House chef.
The opportunity to work for Peace?
Prosperity?
Justice?
Democracy?
No, Shrub won’t miss that. He’ll miss the creme brulee for dessert in the White House’s Family Dining Room on Pork Chop Night..
I have to believe that America is smart enough to have forever done with politicians named bush.
“And the word is Jeb isn’t nearly as stupid as his big brother.”
No, he’s not. But he’s even MORE conniving and evil. Check out his ownership of the company that sold the pumps to New Orleans and how the failure of those shoddy pumps led to the breaking of the levees.
He’s a bastard of the highest, er, lowest order.
But hey, the god folks love him. Palin and the Huckster have no chance if he becomes the fundy poster boy.
Jesus WEPT!
I hope poppy lives long enough to see georgie boy do the perp walk.
That’s right, left-wing Marxists, curse Bush. That’s what you do best, while offering no solutions of your own, other than redistribution of wealth, abortion, gay rights, and sky-high taxes.
ksfarmgrrl, why the hatred for Bush? Why do you want to throw him in jail so bad? We could do the same to your hero Slick Willie for his pardons. Or wait until HUSSEIN Obama gets in office. No good Negro who is not a natural-born American.
“No good Negro who is not a natural-born American.
There ya go, black churches. That’s who you are in bed with when you stomp on gay marriage.
Nice bedfellows.
Really all churches. That’s your cohort in the fight to keep the gays in their place.
The gays have a place?? It it really well done, color coordinated, layered to appear as if time did it, interesting textures, inviting, comfortable… ;-)
Heheheh. And the music is good too!
let’s talk about poker tells, shall we?
Isnt grmie the one who always brings up Bill Clinton whenever someone points out that shrub is the WPE?
Tells indeed. I’d love to play poker with donnnnnnnn, er, grmie.
I need the money. And it would be some easy pickings.
Oh, I guess that was ICT.
Well ya know, all those wingnuts sound alike!
ICT…wow man you need to chill out. Your world view may be a bit off. Good luck with that.
The bush name is mud. He might possibly win in someplace like Kansas or say Georgia, but Jeb has no future in national politics.
If Jeb were to become president I wonder if he would appoint his brother Neil as Sec Treasury?

“not a natural-born American.”
Inferior one – in case you didn’t know it Hawaii is a part of the USA. But I guess someone as inferior as you are wouldn’t be able to comprehend that.
I really cannot imagine another Bush doing well.
Jeb might have had a chance before George. Daddy was a mediocre president but that would not have automatically disqualified Jeb. But now with both George and Neil – I have to wonder if there are ANY decent Bushes?
GWB and Jeb always put me in mind of the Prodigal Son story in the bible. Except in this case the Prodigal Son proved he was unworthy of his inheritance.
If GWB had been only as mediocre as his father the country wouldn’t be in the shambles it’s in, and Jeb might have a political future.
Palin/Jeb 2012!
hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
