Texas lawmakers push to add younger Bush's name to Midland courthouse


WASHINGTON – Texas lawmakers are pushing to name a Midland courthouse for former President George W. Bush, although he would have to share the honor with his dad and a longtime Democratic congressman.

Bush grew up in Midland (HE DID?), where his father began his career. Both he and his dad remain popular in conservative West Texas. A crowd of 30,000 greeted the younger Bush in Midland last week, hours after Barack Obama became the new president.

Rep. Michael Conaway, R-Midland – Bush's longtime friend and former accountant – is pushing the idea. All 20 Texas Republicans in the U.S. House have signed on, as well as 10 of the 12 Texas Democrats.


Conaway pushed the idea last spring, but with Bush still in office, the bill died in committee. He filed it again Wednesday.

The bill would turn the George Mahon Federal Building in downtown Midland into the "George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush United States Courthouse and George Mahon Federal Building."

The perversion of the law mandated by that name on a courthouse is incomprehensible.
