Jeb Bush announces in Spanish: No tengo futuro

[zulchzulu]

Let's just say that his older, dumber brother has ruined all chances that the Bush Crime Family will have a place anywhere near the Oval Office anytime soon. No wonder Poppa Bush was wailing like a child a week ago. He knew it's over. (Video: http://www.crooksandliars.com/index.php?s=george+h.w.+bush)

'I have no future' -- Jeb Bush tells reporters
December 20, 2006

MIAMI (Reuters) - The shadow of President Bush seemed to loom large over his younger brother on Wednesday, as the outgoing Florida governor ruled out any plans to return to elected office.

"No tengo futuro (I have no future)," Jeb Bush told Spanish-language reporters in Miami, when asked about any possible political ambitions after he steps down next month.

The popular, two-term governor has often been touted as a savvy politician with a good chance of following both his brother and father, George H.W. Bush, into the White House.

But the unpopularity and dismal job-approval ratings of his brother may have scuttled any plans Jeb Bush may have had for a future in politics after running one of America's most crucial swing states for the past eight years.

Bush did not elaborate on his terse "no future" comment. But he has said repeatedly over the past year that he would not run for president in 2008 and has never seemed comfortable with talk about Bush III or the Bush presidential dynasty.

"Jeb would have made an outstanding presidential candidate," said Kansas Sen. Sam Brownback, who joined Bush at a luncheon on Wednesday hosted by a Cuban American political action committee.

Brownback, a Republican who launched an exploratory committee three weeks ago to consider his own bid for the presidency, added that he was "a Jeb Bush-type conservative."

In a backhanded slap at President Bush, Brownback cited "a heritage issue" as one factor currently weighing against a Jeb Bush presidency.

"People may be wanting to see a different name," he said.

1. That picture....

:scared:

It doesn't look like there's a functioning brain cell between them. And does Jeb have the world's most enormous head...?

[IndianaGreen]

5. It is a very disturbing picture

sort of like Michael and Fredo Corleone.

[KansDem]

8. Maybe it just looks big compared to GW's

"I am big. It's the pictures that got small.'

[driver8]

9. That is a huge melon!!

As Mike Myers said in "So I Married An Axe Murderer"...

"Look at the size of that boy's heed...it's got it's own weather system!"

2. With all the oil that the MWI pumps leaked into the glades and

surrounding areas, (pumps provided by his former business partner/employer) he should spend the rest of his life mopping it up with oil absorbents on his hands and knees.

3. What's

"...thanks to my fuckin' brother.." in Spanish?

[mcscajun]

4. Oh, Jeb is So Wrong.

He has a future, it's just not a Presidential One, in fact, probably not even a corporate or academic one. I don't think corporate boards or university trustees will be tripping over each other to get Jebbie's moniker on their letterhead any time soon.

Poor, poor widdle Jeb. :cry: Awwwwwwwwwwww, he's never gonna be Pwesident. :nopity:

But he might make Greeter at Wal-Mart. :evilgrin:

11. Oh, bullfeathers! Jeb will be the 2008 GOP nominee
