George Pee
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?
I’m thinking this is the perfect opportunity to flex those turn Texas Blue muscles. This could be a defining moment, a veritable watershed.
1If he cain’t answer questions he ain’t ready.
2If he cain’t answer questions he ain’t ready for office.
3No Bush ever let incompetency hold him back. Unfortunately neither did Republican voters. Pee has it made in the shade.
4Blue-chip political pedigree? That’s not exactly what I would call it.
5My question is…. why is he running in Tx and not Fla? The term Carpetbagger comes to mind…. or has JEB now moved here, too.?. Frankly, I’m sick of that whole family.
6Running away from reporters *is* prime-time for Republicans in the Palin Age.
7Sounds like Pee is in the kindergarten stage of politics. Maybe that should be the garden stage as I’ve read that a little pee on tomato plants is a good thing. Can’t we just call him “Urine” for short?
8“Urine” as in urine trouble if you elect another Bush?
9trixicopper: cow-chip?
10Just taking after his uncle George. It’s his campaign “strategery” …
11Maybe it’s time George W lend his nephew that earpiece and transmitter he wore under his suit in the first debate with Al Gore in 2000. He wouldn’t have to use Karl Rove on the other end, but hey, why not?
12That’s Pee as in “he is a real pisser”.
13But, but he”s BIG in the UK.

The family has obviously hired a well-connected PR staffer.
14@ trix, how bout “inbred political pedigree” with the overwhelming family characteristic being they all make perfect circles!
15frankstwin,
16interesting article to point to but the date on it is 2010 and G3 has already shot himself in the foot, so, as his papers fall to the bottom of the cage, he’s already mimicking his uncle by
whining, “It’s harrrd!!”
“Blue chip” pedigree – or “buffalo chip” pedigree? You make the call.
He’s definitely got a future in politics, though, if he can get his acting skills polished a bit further. All he needs to do is rattle off talking points in a sincere manner, and only give interviews to those willing to submit questions in advance and stick to the script.
Isn’t it amusing that we hear about how there’s opportunities for everyone in these United States, yet the only candidates we see are from well-connected political families? It’s almost as though we are in a monarchy rather than a democracy.
17Gee, another Icky Rocky – someone who can’t answer questions but wants to feed at the public trough with NO responsibility to talk to us tax payers. Pee indeed.
18I propose a moratorium on any more George Bushes running for significant office regardless of what their middle initials are, because I’m sick and tired of trying to keep them straight. I already had to call the last two Papa Bush and Baby Bush, using the example set by Papa Doc and Baby Doc Duvalier.
