Let's see, the Dad was pretty stupid, the brother was a complete fool and a war criminal-this one ran Florida for eight years and it is still there for Rick Scott to finish ruining. So let's try him....

1. "...but the fact is he's not running,''

said Ron Kaufman, a veteran Republican strategist who helped Jeb's father win the White House in 1988..."

Wanna bet? He will be portrayed as the gop saviour, the party uniter. He will walk on the waters he calmed w/ a wave of his hand.

3. I was getting ready to say, wanna' bet

you beat me to it.

4. He has a real wife problem if he were to run. The smuggler he

is married to is no Michelle Obama.

10. Let's not forge his kids.

One is a drug addict, and all three have police records. And, his wife was born in Mexico. That won't go over well with the anti-immigrant crowd.

2. I knew better

dammit anyway but I still had to look and yes I agree with you and want to know the answer to your question too.

5. OMG at the word "hope" connected with any Bush. Is there a saying for "fool me 3 times"?

[originalpckelly]

6. Oh no they didn't!

:wow:

[sufrommich]

7. There will never be another Bush president.The brand is

forever tarnished. Jeb won't run because he knows he would fail.He can thank his brother for that.

8. Oh rz, ever the bearer of good news.

I would guess that Mr. Potato Head will play The Coy Princess through 2012, slowly stripping off the veils, with luminous reveal slated for 2016.

Meanwhile Karl's minions and Fox "News" will paper over the wife's smuggling career, making it sound like eeevul Dems invented the smuggling story in a futile attempt to badmouth Hispanics and drive the Hispanic vote away from the Puglies.

My crystal ball is out at the cleaners, but this is my best guess.

9. Hi! I have been trying to bury my head in the sand lately. I have

had only limited success. There is more to the wife problem than just the smuggling issue, there is an ESL issue and a "she's not the one he has sex with issue."

I think of our pal often, like when I saw that there was a new Marianne Faithful album out (she for some reason liked women singers who sound like their throat has been gone over with a wire brush and drano) the new/old Dylan and a couple of others she'd have wanted sent to her.

13. I always got the feeling Katharine Harris thought of herself as

"the favorite girlfriend." Am I wrong?

There was something about the way the two of them looked any time they were caught by a camera at the same time -- I thought Jeb always looked as though he wanted her to just evaporate into thin air.

Katharine "did her duty" for the Bushes during the 2000 charade, and then overreached the political clout she'd been granted by trying to run for the Senate. She must have felt like a guy with the rope around his neck when the little trapdoor drops.

I have not updated that particular section of my address book and probably never will. The beautiful Florida beach shot (with the tough little oceanfront shrub in the foreground and the incredibly blue sky) is still my desktop, so I think of you every morning when the Compaq fires up.

Peace to you and your household.
