What's Jeb Bush been up to?

[Auggie]

He's been quiet. Too quiet.

My worst nightmare is this scum crawls out from under his rock and runs against Obama.

[madfloridian]

1. He's been pushing Obama's education agenda.

3. Good Catch madfloridian + 1 Too

ANd I never capitalize names of assholes. Just sayin'.

[Auggie]

8. Thanks...

Quite telling too. He sounded very, uh, presidential in that interview.

[QC]

12. Bingo! n/t

[goclark]

15. One of the Bush brothers owned the company that made tests for NCLB

Or better named More Children Left Behind. :evil:

2. Whatever it is, you can be sure it's not good n/t

[Jamastiene]

4. He was all up in Lee Mercer Jr.'s house with disease last I checked.

I hope he doesn't crawl out and pick Palin and they run together. That would be entirely too much to take. Either one by themselves is bad enough. :scared:

[Auggie]

6. Palin is a freak show -- she's poison for any GOP hopes, IMO.

5. Haven't heard a peep. My guess is he's gonna go for it in 2016.

How old will he be then? I think 2012 is too soon after W's disastrous presidency for Jeb to risk running with that bad a handicap.

I just know he'll be the Repub nominee one day. The Bushes are the most powerful political family in the country -- the cronies pull out all the stops to get them elected, which they didn't do for McCain, and they learned to do with the defeat of 41. The stakes are sky high for them -- they have so much to gain. Jeb is charismatic and smart and Americans have short memories. The Bushes are just biding their time. It's a terrifying thought. We should be grooming our candidates right now. You have to have telegenic charisma to win a general election. It's just a fact. Too bad John Edwards screwed up so damned badly.

7. Preparing to be President in the future.

Read "Family of Secrets". The Bush family did not relinquish power in January.

[Demoiselle]

9. Planning the Bush Family compound in Paraguay?

Didn't I read here a while ago that the Bushies had invested in a lot of land down there?

[LovinLife]

10. He was talking about a shadow government after Obama was elected. I still think he'll run. His

silence shows how smart he is. He'll run. And might easily win Florida.

[DrToast]

11. What are your other nightmares? Winning the lottery? Sex with a supermodel?

[CanonRay]

13. Stealing money, just like his whole family.

[Clio the Leo]

14. There are only a handful of Republicans who's prospects scare me for 2012...

.... and he is definitely one of them.

[tomm2thumbs]

16. If he ever ran, they would never say 'Bush' they would just say 'Jeb'

America has been bush-wacked and they would have to start by losing the name

[rasputin1952]

17. Who cares? His brother George destryed any remnants of...

a "bush Dynasty". That family is so disgraced at this point, I'd be surprised if Jeb didn't change his name; Moss, Fungus, Feces...anything would be better than "bush" at this point...(except perhaps cheney)...;)

18. The campaign slogan: "All the bravado, with more brains".
