President Jeb Watch

Former President George H. W. Bush said today that he would like to see another Bush in the Oval Office.

Speaking on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace, Mr. Bush said he thought his son Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida, should run for the Senate when Mel Martinz vacates the seat in Florida in 2010 — if he wants to.

He then added, “I’d like to see him run for president some day.”

It was the way it was supposed to be.  President Jeb Bush, not President George W Bush.  But, as the Oliver Stone movie clip has it Bush Senior saying to Bush Jr, “You’ve ruined the Bush name!”

Well, there’s about one more chance to block a Bush from the presidency — 2016.  After that, the nation ought to be clear of the Bushes.  “I say America — stay out the Bushes”, as Jesse Jackson once said.
