George Pee Bush, son of a Jeb and nephew of George Dubya, is running for Land Commissioner in Texas because the Bushes want to torture us.  I don’t know that for a fact, but I have plenty of evidence pointing in that direction.

In an episode that underscores how history repeats itself, George P. Bush had an uneven moment last week in his first race for statewide office. His first speech since formally announcing he’s running for land commission was at a legislative conference in New Braunfels. He stumbled over his words and appeared nervous, then left without taking questions under the tight control of campaign operatives.

I wonder if maybe Karl Rove, Jr. was one of those operatives.

But it gets better.

Although the 36-year-old Bush with a blue-chip political pedigree has been a candidate for office since last November, he’s avoiding Q-and-A sessions and ducking media interviews – and focusing on raising money on his family name.

He’s not ready for prime time.

Any bets on if he’ll ever be?
