Whenever you refer to him, please remember to always call him:
George P. Bush (The Little Brown One)As in:
"I think
George P. Bush (The Little Brown One) should enlist in the army."
George P. Bush (The Little Brown One)P. is for pretty boy
Don't hate George W. Bush's nephew just because he's a political prop. What his college friends say about him may surprise you.
<snip>
P. is the son of Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Columba, the nephew of George W. Bush and grandson of former President George Bush, who once famously referred to him and his two siblings, while pointing out his grandchildren to Ronald and Nancy Reagan, as "the little brown ones." That P.'s a Spanish-speaking Latino (his mother was born in Mexico) adds to his value for his uncle's campaign.
<snip>
But even though P. will serve as youth chairman of the GOP convention, his friend Chris Fide says that in recent e-mails, P. still insists he's not sure that politics is for him.
<snip>
In a gushing New York Times profile, one unnamed Bush aide compared P. to "Ricky Martin, except better looking." Another added that P. is "very smooth. Rico suave. Chicks ate him up -- they did." And Uncle George himself has said about P., "He's a handsome dude, isn't he?"
<snip>
"National coverage would seem to indicate that George P. is the essence of passion for his people ... with a la vida loca commitment and an obvious legacy of activism for Latino causes," according to the Press story. "Just don't ask his former classmates at Rice University about that." The story quoted past presidents of the Hispanic Association for Cultural Enrichment at Rice (HACER), both of whom said P. was AWOL on campus Latino issues and events.
<snip>
"If he is going to push his uncle for president under the auspices of being Hispanic, I think it is legitimate to question his credibility, when he has not demonstrated in the past that the these issues are important to him."
<snip>
nd W., who fiercely guards his 18-year-old twin daughters from the press, has been more than willing to grab P. and use him for every purpose imaginable -- and quite shrewdly. At an April campaign appearance in California, where Bush was heralded for "distancing" himself from Gov. Pete Wilson's immigration policies, P. was bolder than his uncle would ever hope to be.
Bush told the National Hispanic Women's Conference at the Regal Biltmore Hotel that he wants "the American dream, el sueño Americano, to belong to all Americans; if your parents are first-generation ... this dream belongs to you as much as anybody else."

In a profile on Wednesday's NBC Nightly News, George P. Bush noted that with three Bushes sharing the George Bush name you need a "letter to distinguish between us." Feeding off that line, reporter Kelly O'Donnell reminded viewers: "But his grandfather used something else to distinguish George P. as a child. Back in 1988, then Vice President Bush, pointing out his grandchildren to the Reagans."
NBC played old video of George H. W. Bush pointing across an airport tarmac: "That's Jebby's kids from Florida, the little brown ones."
O'Donnell then asked George P: "You were referred to as one of ‘the little brown ones,' by your grandfather. That was controversial then, would it be even more so today?" George P. replied: "My grandfather is the sweetest, most loving man that I know. It was a term of endearment. And I would call my own grandkids that because there's nothing as beautiful as brown skin."
