Oh, No You Don't...
- Bush backs brother Jeb for White House
By Nedra Pickler, Associated Press Writer | May 10, 2006
ORLANDO, Fla. -- President Bush suggested Wednesday that he'd like to see his family's White House legacy continue, perhaps with his younger brother Jeb as the chief executive.
The president said Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is well-suited for another office and would make "a great president."
If they'd wanted to elect the smarter one they should have run him in 2000. It's too late now.
The last thing we need is someone to affirm the disasters of the last eight years -- or worse, cover them up. America needs someone in the White House to lift the rocks and see what's underneath -- not someone to cement them over.
We can understand why George W. Bush would love to have his brother succeed him: he wants every document from his administration classified until the next ice age -- which, thanks to him, will never come. Just like he himself did for his father.
But we can't understand why anyone else would want this.

how long until they claim some sort of dynastic right to the Presidency, using their flimsy familial ties to Britain's royals as the angle?
I first wrote about six months ago that Jeb would be the GOP's nominee in 2008. He has the cred among the evangelicals - look at the way he wouldn't let go of Terri Schiavo' shrivelled corpse until the end. But he also championed meaningful education reform in Florida, which has earned him the ire of the far right, and the admiration of independents and moderates. Face it, McCain is toast. He can fellate Falwell on national TV, and the Christian right still won't fall for him. The other theocrats will cancel each other out, and the last wacko standing will have independents too scared to ever vote GOP again.
Jeb is all the GOP has left. Even Dubya sees it.
