4. What a strange coincidence!

What do you suppose the odds are that Jeb would decide to make a "private" visit right before Zippy makes an official one? :sarcasm:

5. "children"

...

After his early graduation, Bush married Columba Garnica Gallo, on February 23, 1974. Their three children are George P. Bush, Noelle Bush and Jeb Bush, Jr. Their eldest son, George Prescott Bush (born April 24, 1976 in Texas), went to Gulliver Preparatory School, studied at Rice University, and earned a Juris Doctor degree from the University of Texas. Noelle Lucila Bush (born July 26, 1977 in Texas), their daughter and second child, studied at Tallahassee Community College, graduating in 2000. John Ellis "Jebby" Bush, Jr. (born December 13, 1983 in Miami, Florida), their youngest child and second son, attended The Bolles School, a private boarding and day school in Jacksonville, and then The University of Texas.

John Ellis Bush, Jr.

He works for a Miami commercial real estate firm. He has received media attention on two occasions: in 2000, at age 16, he was caught having sex in a Tallahassee, Florida, mall parking lot with a 17-year-old girl. On September 16, 2005, he was arrested and charged with public intoxication and resisting arrest on the street corner near the popular Sixth Street in Austin, Texas. His father responded that this was a "personal family matter" which was being handled privately. In October 2007, Jebby Bush endorsed Rudy Giuliani for the 2008 Republican Presidential nomination, and will support the effort as chair of "Florida Young Professionals for Rudy". <1>

Noelle Lucila Bush

She graduated from Tallahassee Community College in 2000. On January 29, 2002, according to a police report made public via The Smoking Gun website, Bush attempted to “fraudulently obtain a prescription” at a Walgreens Drug Store located in Tallahassee, Florida.<2> The attending officer, Mark E. Dent of the Tallahassee Police Department, ascertained that Bush had telephoned the pharmacy using the name “Noelle Scidmore” in an attempt to obtain Xanax, a prescription drug used to treat anxiety disorders. As a result of her arrest, Bush was ordered by a judge to attend a rehabilitation program at the Center for Drug-Free Living in Orlando, Florida.<3> During her time at the facility, Bush was found in contempt of court after being found in possession of 2 grams of cocaine, and was sentenced to ten days in jail.<3> In August 2003, Jeb Bush and his wife Columba attended their daughter's final court appearance.<4> Upon completion of her rehabilitation program, the governor's press office released a statement on his behalf. “Columba and I are pleased that our daughter Noelle has completed this step, and grateful for the treatment she's received…. She has worked hard to get here. We are proud of her efforts and love her very much.”<4> Regarding her treatment, Noelle Bush herself told the court “It's been quite a challenge, and I'm grateful.”<4>
