1. I am almost wondering as Bush's numbers tank

if Jebbie is about to looking for a Perm. new job. If Bush ends his term in the 30s. Never more will a Bush get the WH IMHO

[Skidmore]

2. I sure hope you're right about that, but that family

is tone-deaf and blind and they will try again. Look how many decades they hammered away at it.

[4 t 4]

4. Some of my worst fears

Jeb runs,we get sucked into voting on those fucking diebold machines Jeb steels election I can't stop crying for the rest of my life!!!

[bananas]

3. What if the twins were elected president?

5. Don't underestimate the assholelishness of americans these days.

It would not surprise me in the least after all that's happened for Jeb to get it after George.

This country is full of assholes now.

6. Remember 10/15!

On October 15th of 2008 the city of Springfield was leveled by a nuclear bomb. A national State of Emergency was announced and Congress passed a bill keeping the current President in power for at least two more years.

8. Look for Pierce bush, Neil's son - Conason mentioned him last week

Business as usual
Bush's strong support of the Dubai ports deal isn't so surprising in light of his family's many financial ties to Arab sheikdoms.

In October 2001, only a month after the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, Neil Bush showed up in Dubai to attend a technology trade fair -- and to meet with Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. While peddling the products of Ignite!, his educational software company, Bush was feted as the guest of honor at a gala dinner for a charitable foundation, also hosted by the crown prince. (Former President Bill Clinton and former Vice President Al Gore, who had been scheduled to travel to the Emirates around the same time, both canceled their attendance at those events.) According to the UAE's official news agency, Bush's discussions with Sheikh Mohammed and with Information Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan focused on "the world economy in light of recent events." During that visit Bush also met with the UAE's finance industry minister.

Exactly how much money Neil Bush raised in the Emirates as CEO of Ignite! isn't clear, but he managed to acquire a local partner, known as Trans-Data Systems, which is required for doing business there. He returned to Dubai in January 2002 to deliver a lecture on educational reform to a "select" audience of 200 government and education officials from the seven emirates that comprise the UAE. The signs of state patronage could not have been more plain. The Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry sponsored his seminar, and the official news agency made sure to note that "the younger brother of U.S. President George W. Bush ... agrees with the vision of General Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and UAE Defense Minister, about adopting new ideas into the existing education system."

During his seminar Bush noted that the "UAE is facing a golden opportunity to lead the world by putting in place a high-speed, broadband access to rich-media content which will revolutionize education in this part of the world." He illustrated this point by streaming a video clip of his son, Pierce, appearing on a television show to discuss his own learning difficulties.

"My father was the 41st president and my brother is 43rd; I think that if Pierce finishes high school, he'll be the 50th president of the United States," quipped Neil Bush. And should he fail to graduate, perhaps he will become a global businessman, just like dear old Dad. Young Pierce -- bearing the name of his mother's family and descended indirectly from Franklin Pierce, one of the worst presidents ever -- must only hope that an indulgent relative will still be in the White House.



Larry King included Pierce bush, a freshman at Georgetown in the fall of '04, in an interview with his grandfather and uncle:

Bush brother stays out of political spotlight
Family young and old unite behind the president

(CNN) -- Three generations of the Bush family sat down with CNN's Larry King on Thursday night to show their support for re-electing President Bush: the former President George H.W. Bush, his grandson Pierce Bush, and son Marvin Bush, George W. Bush's brother.

...
KING: What do you expect of Pierce in the future, Mr. President?

G.H.W. BUSH: I just want him to find the library at Georgetown, get back in those stacks and study. He'll do well in life. But he'll get a good education. And he's a hard-working kid. And he'll do well. And he does have, more so than all the other grandkids, with the possible exception of George P., a vital interest in politics, knowledge of issues. And knowledge of a lot of political people. So I'd like to see him some day get into public service, after he finds a library at Georgetown.

...

KING: Family comes first?

G.H.W. BUSH: It does for me now. But I think it does to them.

KING: Does it for you, Pierce?

P. BUSH: Yes, sir, it does. Looking at my grandfather's example, I think us Bush grandchildren have a good idea of what it means to serve others. And that doesn't necessarily mean just in the political arena. For example, my sister Lauren is doing something with the World Food Program through the U.N. And I think that's a great way to go out and serve the nation and serve the world community. And I'm very impressed with her. I think kids in our family understand that sense through my grandfather's example.
