Related: About this forumWaPo - "An unlikely Bush finally did some damage to Donald Trump: Billy Bush"
Wow, Billy Bush did what Jeb Bush could not accomplish. I am sure Jeb is wondering why his cousin could not do him a solid earlier.

The other man featured in that vulgar 2005 video of Donald Trump talking about women is Billy Bush.
People might recognize Bush from his new gig on the "Today" show or "Access Hollywood." But there is, of course, another part of his bio that is thick with irony: He's a member of the Bush family. Yes, that Bush family.
Billy Bush is first cousins with former Florida governor Jeb Bush, who was favored to win the Republican nomination before Trump came along and started calling him "low-energy" and attacking him daily on the stump.
That means Billy Bush is also first cousins with former president George W. Bush, who Trump has suggested is to blame for 9/11 and who started an Iraq War that Trump has labeled a disaster.

Not sure he is going to keep his current gig on the Today show after this.

(364 posts)2. It is weird that Trump got undone by a Bush right?
I'm having too much fun, and quite ashamed of myself. I'l repent later.

But he isn't the one running for president.
