Jeb Bush's son arrested for public drunkenness per NPR

[democrat in Tallahassee]

not sure which son. it was in austin. think they said eldest son, but not sure. Family dealing with it "privately" no link, sorry

[ET Awful]

1. Is there ANY Bush that isn't a freakin' lush? n/t

[onenote]

2. Hey, if I was related to that crew, I'd drink too.

[Postman]

3. With Dumbya as Uncle and Jeb as Dad, I'd get f**ked up too....

as much as I could to not have to face reality...

4. Send him to Iraq

A few years in the military will straighten him out.

[FreedomAngel82]

65. Apparently according to what I've read

that's what Poppy did and how he got Bush in the guard. Of course it didn't really work out....

[phusion]

5. How hard is it to get arrested...

for public drunkenness? Seriously, I've been pretty drunk in public but have never brought that much attention to myself. I think you have to make a total jackass out of yourself to be arrested for this...

[rurallib]

19. Public urination usually draws attention.

[KenCarson]

23. that's what i wondered

he must have been doing rails and shots on live while shooting puppies to get arrested

[bluestateguy]

72. Sixth Street is crawling with cops

They are there on foot, horseback, patrol car and undercover.

[bliss_eternal]

6. Well, yeeee-haaaaw!

I can be drunk and disorderly--hot damn, I'm a Bush! I could be the next friggin' governer--or heck, even the president...I don't have to work, or do nothin' but get drunk, and party---whooo hooooo!

:eyes:

Ladies and Gentleman, the next pResident of the United States...

[Cleita]

7. Really, maybe this is the reason the Bush cousins

are druggies and lushes. I can't imagine how cold and unwelcoming those homes must be. Even the dogs look panicky all the time.

[bliss_eternal]

20. Such a good point--I never even considered this...

that IS a shitty family unit. Who wouldn't want to be inebriated?

[Sanity Claws]

8. Why isn't he in the service?

How many adults in the Bush family of W's generation or younger? How many were ever in the military?
Other than W who went AWOL, I believe it's zero.

[TheCowsCameHome]

51. Yeah, Idiot W went and ruined the perfect family record

[MADem]

77. He probably has too many 'juvies' to get a waiver of enlistment

Of course, they've lowered the moral standards since the War Without End, Amen...and the Service Secretaries, SECDEF or Chimp himself can waive ANY infraction that would otherwise be an impediment to service...

[donsu]

9. Ch 7 Fox out of Miami had this story first at 5 - it was the youngest son

I've watched CNN to see if they would have the story and they spent 1/2 hr. on a fire near but not in NO telling us how firefighters fight fires. so far they haven't told the story

want to clarify - I missed the very beginning of the story and they said youngest child - I don't know if his youngest is male or female.

[Missy M]

10. It probably should be dealt with privately as long as he gets the...

same treatment as anyone else in that situation. Was he driving or walking around? If he was driving let there be no plea deals.

[FormerDittoHead]

46. NO, and I'll tell you WHY... "Family Values" and Enlightened Despotism)

THESE are the hypocrites who are talking about 'family values' as if they mean something besides 'hate gays' and 'exploit religous voters'.

If "family values" MEANS anything, it means that by having a house with a father and mother, good (private) education, etc. your children will be BETTER than those who don't...

If you're WEALTHY, I'm thinking, GENERALLY, YOU SHOULD BE BETTER, right? Better education, no adversity to overcome, etc., - you should be a goddamn SAINT, right? Help the poor, rise to a high spiritual level, all that crap.

As far as I'm concerned, these kids are POSTER CHILDREN for a 100% inheritance tax over a certain amount, and that 'family values' means NOTHING...

[FreedomAngel82]

66. Yep

Compare them to say John Kennedy junior and Caroline....

[MADem]

78. Hey, that 73 year old lady in NOLA got NO BOND for snatching a few

sausages during the Katrina mess, her bail was $50K...little Jebby got PERSONAL RECOGNIZANCE on the drunk charges, and twenty five hundred on the resisting arrest. He was out before he sobered up.

All folks are not created equal in BushWorld.

12. Never mind

Misread the first post

[gulfcoastliberal]

13. Is it the one who got busted for public sex or the one who tore up his

ex-gfs lawn with his SUV? Such a lovely family. I'll go with the public sex one, since he apparently doesn't know how to behave in public.

[Mabus]

70. the one who got busted for public sex

We've got a question for Florida Governor Jeb Bush: It's 10 p.m., do you know where your children are? Well, at that time on October 7, Bush's 16-year-old son John (aka Jebby, if you can believe it) was getting busy in a Jeep Cherokee in the parking lot of a Tallahassee mall. As this police report notes, a pair of nosy rent-a-cops caught Bush and a 17-year-old female companion fogging the car's windows--both were naked from the waist down, save Jebby's socks. source: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/jebby1.html

Not to be confused with the eco-terrorist George P. Bush, another of Jeb's boys, who tore up his ex-girlfriend's yard after breaking into her house and arguing with her father. source: http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/georgep1.html

Aside from all of this, can't the family name the kids after non-relatives?

31. Ah...AND Resisting Arrest. Not just public drunk apparently

interesting...

[jackstraw45]

16. Another Bush mug shot coming up...

What a family Jeb has raised....

[bliss_eternal]

35. Which bush is this?

:shrug:

[wishlist]

37. Those mug shots are of Jeb's daughter-n/t

[bliss_eternal]

43. OMG--another criminal in that family?

What was she arrested for? Apparently it was multiple times, there are more than one mugshot?!

:wow:

[tanyev]

17. Another arrest? Now that's family values!

It's normal in a family for there to be a child or two that has a run-in with the law. For George W Bush and his brother Jeb, the rate is 100%. From sexual misconduct to prescription forgery, here's Bush Kids Gone Wild

[montanacowboy]

18. BOY THOSE APPLES SURE STAY CLOSE TO THE TREE

JEB BUSH FAMILY: WIFE IS A SMUGGLER; DAUGHTER IS A DRUGGIE, SON IS A DRUNK AND IF ITS PRESCOTT, HE ALSO DESTROYS PROPERTY

GW IS A DESERTER DURING WARTIME, A DRUNK, A COKEHEAD, A LIAR AND MANIPULATOR AMONG OTHER THINGS; DAUGHTERS ARE DRUNKS; WIFE IS A MURDERER (JUST ACCIDENTALLY RAN OVER HER BOYFRIEND)

WHAT FAMILY VALUES

[bliss_eternal]

25. Whoa--didn't know the details of Jeb's family...

:crazy:

...and Florida made this guy, Governer? There weren't any better candidates in ALL of Florida?

[lpbk2713]

44. Not as far as the Florida repubs were concerned.

For some interesting reading, Google Noelle (duaghter of Jeb) Bush. Drug abuse, forging prescriptions, ID theft.

Jeb's wife, Columba, was caught a couple of years back while going through Customs after a European shopping spree. Seems she had "forgotten" to declare a sizeable amount of her purchases.

[bliss_eternal]

60. There's some insanity in the water down there...

21. I am on the phone with my brother and he says youngest son.

[Freedom_from_Chains]

22. Gee a Bush family reunion in Texas

could be construed as an A.A. meeting.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

24. Someday they will get a grip

on what causes alcoholism/substance abuse to run amok in families.

I'm interested because I just put my sister in detox after a near-fatal binge.

They may not be my favorite family but I don't wish alcoholism on anyone. It is a scourge.

[Double T]

26. The bush clan seems to be a pretty dysfunctional bunch of people

[Lone_Star_Dem]

27. It's a family tradition

He's living up to his heritage, it would appear.

P.S. Austin doesn't like you bushes, it's about time you figured that out.

28. He's 21, why isn't he sleeping in the sand?

Jeb Bush's son arrested for public intoxication, resisting arrest


The Associated Press
September 16. 2005 5:32PM




John Ellis Bush, the youngest son of Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, was arrested early Friday and charged with public intoxication and resisting arrest, law enforcement officials in Texas said.

The 21-year-old nephew of President Bush was arrested by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission at 2:30 a.m. Friday on a corner of Austin's Sixth Street bar district, said spokesman Roger Wade.

John Ellis Bush was released on $2,500 bond for resisting arrest, and on a personal recognizance bond for the public intoxication charge, officials said.

Alia Faraj, the spokeswoman for Jeb Bush said the incident "is a personal family matter" which the governor and his wife "are dealing with privately."

It's not the first time Florida's first family has experienced legal problems with one of their children.

Noelle Bush, the governor's daughter, was arrested in January 2002 and was accused of trying to pass a fraudulent prescription at a Tallahassee pharmacy to obtain the anti-anxiety drug Xanax. She completed a drug rehabilitation program in August 2003 and a judge dismissed the drug charges against her.

Noelle Bush was sent to jail twice for violating rules during her rehab stint. She was jailed for three days in July 2002 after being caught with prescription pills and served 10 days a month later after being accused of having a small rock of crack cocaine in her shoe.

29. He needs a tour of duty in Iraq to sober up his spoiled, silly ass. (eom)

[Missy M]

33. I agree he should have a tour of duty in Iraq but I do know....

when you're twenty one you do have a tendency to get good and drunk. I know I did. Thank god he wasn't driving.

[oasis]

38. Maintaining respect for the family name is his obligation. He should stay

home and get drunk with his yuppie pals.

[Missy M]

45. I think everyone should lighten up a little over this incident. At the

age of twenty one you are still pretty much a kid and I don't see why he would have to stay home, yet I still maintain he should be doing some duty in Iraq.

[democrat in Tallahassee]

56. pretend it was Chelsea. What would THEY say?

[Missy M]

57. Then let us not be like THEM!!!

[FreedomAngel82]

67. Exactly

And if that was me who did that my parents wouldn't let me get away so easily. They'd probably have me do community service or something like that.

[FlemingsGhost]

30. Son, if you wanna be like Unca George, get behind the wheel!

Sorry Jeb, the boy will never have the proper experience, to be the world's most powerful leader.

[napi21]

32. It was John Ellis Bush. Here's a pic.

http://media.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/images/I14770-2005Jan16L

John Ellis is the third from the right in tha back. Appears to be standing between Poppy and Jeb.

[democrat in Tallahassee]

count the arrests in that picture!

[MisterP]

42. John Ellis Bush is Jeb: the other brothers are Neil and Marvin

Neil is also known as "Herpes" on DU for his disease, which he got from Thai hookers that just upped and knocked on his Bangkok hotel door...

on edit:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x1786657 has the story and notes that it's Jeb Jr. (yes, there are TWO of them!)

[leftofthedial]

36. is there anyone in this brood who hasn't been arrested?

or who should have been?

[Missy M]

41. That was a point I made about getting drunk at the age of.....

twenty one. I did it and just about everyone I know did it. At least they arrested him even though he is a bush. He is at the age where you go out and party.

[leftofthedial]

69. I have been drinking for 35 years now

sometimes very hard

and I've never been arrested for public drunkenness

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

39. Archive all the articles that can be found before they're scrubbed

We may need to document this one day-- like, when he's running for pretzeldent??? Can't have all the evidence disappeared.....

[DrDebug]

61. Fit it in here

Jeb Junior is the one on the far right

[MelissaB]

40. Recommended for privacy!

:evilgrin:

[AzDar]

47. WHY the bloody f&*k isn't he in IRAQ??????? n/t

[TheCowsCameHome]

48. Does sister Noelle get custody of him?

[Mabus]

50. this will work out well for him (chuckle, chuckle)

He was so overwhelmed by the hospitality. And so many of the people in the drunk tank, you know, are overprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for him.

- paraphrasing (with no apologies to) Babs

[MADem]

79. A little scary, though, he might want to STAY THERE!!! nt

[spanone]

53. If I were born into that family, I'd try to drink myself to death.

[glitch]

54. Well, like father, uncle, aunt, grandparents, great-grandfather, like son,

nephew, grandson, great-grandson.

[CrackpotAmerica]

55. If I were a Bush, I would be drunk 24/7/365

Then I would hang myself and leave a note that reveals all about my lousy family!

:kick:

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

58. Is this one, George Prescott Bush? The one who they appear to be

grooming for yet another Bushco pResidency?

Or is the one that David Corn said violated Florida sodomy laws and wasn't arrested?

59. Family First!

Our kids are drunk. So we're going to have to tell you how to raise yours instead.

[jbnow]

62. Don't forget genetic predisposition

for alcoholism/addiction.

As someone mentioned earlier this is a wretched family and surely the emotional environment was one stressor.

But some fine people have been addicts and not everyone has yet recognized or overcome it at such young ages. In fact it isn't always so obvious at such young ages.

To be fair to the young bushites we should give them a choice...a long jail term or rehab and the army.

[cosmicdot]

63. youthful indiscretion phase of Bu$h Family/GOP life cycle*

sometimes known as the Hastert Rule

make copies of the police reports... they'll likely disappear by the time he turns 40

* family values not applicable; it's a private issue unless you're a have not, Democrat or have the surname Kennedy

[FreedomAngel82]

64. Oh brother

:eyes: Hmm, privately eh? Just like Terri Schavio?

73. Nice souvenir

to remind us what kind of kids Repukes have.

I am so disgusted with the way Repuke family and (former) friends parent their kids. This is how their kids have turned out:

Fucked up kids.

Let's see:

One In juvie most of his teenage years, in and out of jail afterwards
One 17 and already a father
One mortally anorexic
One in a mental institution in NY

I could add to the list but it just gets sadder and sadder. The Repuke way is not designed for a child's success.

[MADem]

80. What would be funny is if people printed those out, folded them

...went to events and got the idiots W and Jeb to AUTOGRAPH THEM on the back....

Such bidding on E BAY!!!

71. Thank GAWD the Dynasty Is OVER!!!!!! N/T

get to DC on 9/24 and get Junior out of office!

76. FYI the GOP makes family values an issue

in every election. Why can't they raise their children properly, yet point their fingers at others? It's called hypocrisy and yes, it is important.
