Bush Sr.: 'Bush fatigue' may be setting in

[sabra]

Source: CNN

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Former President George Bush told CNN Monday that the electorate may be experiencing "Bush fatigue."

And it may be the reason his son, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, is sitting out the 2008 presidential election, the 41st president said.

"There's something to that -- there might be a little Bush fatigue now," former President Bush told CNN's Larry King when asked if he agreed with a recent assessment from GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney that Jeb Bush would currently be a frontrunner for the Republican party's presidential nomination if his last name wasn't Bush.

But the former president predicted his youngest son may enter politics again in the future.

"I hope that Jeb, who left office looking good, is not through with politics," the elder Bush said. " I think he's a good man, most other people think that, a man of principle. And I think he's got a future."

1. "Bush Fatigue"??? More Like "Bush Plague"

n/t

[PerceptionManagement]

52. It's that deft, grasp of the obvious that contributed to Babs running the Family Criminal Enterprise

And neil relegated to herpes is Thailand. It's a bush male thing. They are all criminal. And dumb.

[Hawkeye-X]

2. I'd support a constitution amendment banning any Bush or direct descendant of a Bush

Starting with Poppy Bush from running for President or any elected office.

[Gregorian]

3. The electorate is not nearly as Bushed as the rest of the planet.

Jeb is not a name that will be tolerated in American politics. Trust me. We're done with Bushes.

But it's a nice try at clearing the brush for another Bush run.

edit- There aren't enough sick people in this country to elect a Bush without election fraud. And that is going to be a thing of the past, shortly.

[waiting for hope]

11. Remember Poppy crying

at the last leadership forum for Jeb? He was crying cause he knew Jeb would never have a shot in hell of becoming Pres because of W's fuck ups......good.

[Wickerman]

4. Jeb Bush would currently be a frontrunner for the Republican nomination if his name wasn't Bush

Right. If his name wasn't Bush and her weren't born into wealth and privilege he would currently be working at Jiffy Lube during the day and shooting smack under some bridge at night.

[Dr.Phool]

16. Jebthro's kids have all the right connections!

[rkc3]

22. I thought his daughter was a prescription drug whore - not a crack whore.

[Doctor_J]

30. she's both

she'd be doing a looooooong prison stretch if here name were Noelle Washington.

[goclark]

50. That made me spill my water bottle on my keyboard!

:applause:

[cassiepriam]

5. Jeb will run in the future. He has not given up yet. :(

[shanti]

34. sure

just a lil tweak of the ballots will do it!

[cassiepriam]

39. Bingo.... it is in the bag.

The dictatorship continues........

[sinkingfeeling]

6. Yeah, I started with 'Bush Fatique' way back in the 1980's and right now I'm not sure if I'll

survive the next 637 days, 22 hours, 7 minutes.

[Lautremont]

7. I call it 'Bush disgust,' and it's been around for quite a while,

along with 'Bush contempt' and 'Bush revulsion.'

[Gman]

8. After over a year of 30-35% approval ratings

ya' think?

[Phredicles]

9. Translation: "Even I'm sick of seeing the little shit on my TV..."

:evilgrin:

[Missy M]

10. He finally figured it out....

took him long enough. I wonder if they were thinking of running Jeb for president in 2008 until they figured out the country is sick of them.

[babylonsister]

12. A little...? A LITTLE...??? Winner of understatement of the decade! nt

[hippiechick]

13. "MAY" ?? "May" ? WTF??

Is he talking about it setting in across the country or is he speaking of his own feelings towards his spawn?

:wtf:

[flaminbats]

14. daddy's message to other Republicans now running..

"I'll support one of you in the primaries, but only if you promise to pick Jebby as your running mate!":smoke:

[paparush]

18. Do Republican voters embrace Bush Sr?

[flaminbats]

23. fewer and fewer Republican voters like him..

but I think the majority of those who actively participate in the Republican primaries worship Bush..FATHER, SON, AND HOLY GHOST!

thankfully the number of voters who call themselves Republicans is rapidly shrinking, I think many of the voters who once supported Bush are now calling themselves independents or moderate Democrats. only the hardcore Bush supporters still call themselves "compassionate conservatives" or even Republicans.

[Virginia Dare]

15. More like Bush Epstein-Barr...n/t

[paparush]

17. F()cking Bush-Speak "man of principle" "he's got a future"

This is Bush-Speak for "When the time is right, we'll rig/steal future elections to insert yet another Bush-Bot into Global Economic Consortium Coordinator AKA 'POTUS'"

[diane in sf]

19. Jeb a "man of principle"!!??? Oh, please

People's comments quoted in a Ma Jones article on the Bush spawn written around 1990 about Jeb's business involvement with certain Cuban criminals in Florida: "Jeb is either crooked or stupid..."

I think we know which.

[durtee librul]

35. You mean he ain't both?

[truthisfreedom]

20. bush jr. makes bush sr. look so much better that many people have forgotten what they didn't like

about him. Honestly, there's nothing I like about Jeb at all, and I'm sure I'm not alone. He doesn't have a future in politics.

[Mz Pip]

21. I was fatigued

on January 21, 2001. The Inaugural Protest march in San Francisco was exhausting. I am still exhausted.

I'll feel better on 1/20/09.

[Rambis]

24. Neil bush cost CO 1 billion!

Now he is the biggest supplier of testing supplies for No child left behind. Bush fatigue my arse Bush loathing. The * family has cost this country dearly!

[endarkenment]

25. Fuck off.

Really, you miseable old coot, fuck off. Look at the mess your foul spawn has made. Heck you threw him a lifeline with your ISG and he told you to fuck off too and went and escalated that damn war against all advice. It ain't 'bush fatigue', it is a complete disaster that is going to take decades to repair. Nobody wants to hear your shit.

[Skittles]

42. I'm Skittles and I approve of this message

yes INDEED :thumbsup:

[Canuckistanian]

48. Author, author!

Nail, meet hammer.

[rocktivity]

26. Candidate for this month's "You Call This NEWS?" award

I don't know what I find more hilarious--that ANYONE would say such a thing at this point, or that Bush's OWN FATHER would!

:rofl:
rocknation

[candice]

27. We will be living with the aftermath of this horror for decades...

they won't just go away!

[badgervan]

28. Don't Forget

the bush family's long time, extremely hush-hush and way too close relationship with Saudi Arabia - the source of the Taliban, Osama, violent Wahsabi Islam, madrasa schools, and OIL profits. This relationship explains a lot about the bush family, it's willingness to put profit over and above the well-being of the United States, our illegal occupation of Iraq, and the Decider's upcoming invasion of Iran, Syria, and any other mideastern country who will not toe the bush line. Follow the money. If the MSM wants to regain some cred with us, they should look into the super secret ways and means of the Carlyle Group, the bush family's sugar daddy.

[Cass]

29. Oh yeah, there's Bush fatigue but its not just Junior.

I think America is done with the whole damn family.

Jeb Bush may be smarter than Junior, but he still managed to f* up Florida. I would run screaming into the night if that guy got anywhere near the White House.

[zanne]

31. I feel like I'm reading a three year-old Time in the doctors office.

For whom is this news?

[PSPS]

32. "Bush Fatigue" is a fatal disease that has already killed over a million people.

[Solly Mack]

33. ...

Poppy thinks all America needs is a little time between Bush's. Because gee, what's a little crime against humanity and assorted other crimes when you're a Bush? After all, it was but a little time between Iran-Contra and 2000

Let Shrub walk away without being held accountable for his crimes and Poppy's right.

Because as sure as shit, another Bush (Jeb or his son) WILL "enter politics"

then America can once again moan and groan "how did this happen?", "how did we come to this?" and the truly priceless one, "why didn't we hold Bush accountable then?"


contemptuous snort

[Arugula Latte]

36. Anyone have some garlic and a stake to put through Bushco.'s cold, evil heart?

:scared:

[MagickMuffin]

37. I think the

Where can I find a qualified Doctor to eliminate this virus...?!?!?!?

[Bo]

38. Bad luck Bushes

Just bad karma

[Imagevision]

40. Bush takes care of the rich for 8 years, Hillary will come in and turn it around so Jeb can

start the whole process over again, this is so fucking old!!

[edhopper]

41. Yeah

maybe the most disastrous Presidency in US history will do that.
Hey 41, your legacy now is that you sired the worst President ever!

[Olney Blue]

43. "a little Bush fatigue" Why is that, poppy? Brilliance and leadership

are invigorating- and we are starving for it. When are you going to apologize to the world
for unleashing your defective chromosomes?

[Rydz777]

44. Bush has become a four letter word. n/t

[uppityperson]

45. "may"? eom

[goforit]

46. Jeb has a future??? We'll see what the public thinks.

[Canuckistanian]

47. He's right. Give it a rest. For about a thousand years.

The Bush/Walker dynasty has had a fierce hold on America for too long already.

This is the end.

[Decruiter]

49. More like Bush - Wacked

[GoddessOfGuinness]

51. I've been tired of Bushes since the 80s

Never got over it.

[TheLastMohican]

53. What is it with the Bush clan?

Are we some kind of a monarchy that the reign should always go from the father to son?
Where are the FREE elections? I want to see new faces and not the usual corrupt BushCo.

[BlueManDude]

54. Shitty, failed Presidency fatigue.

[hyphenate]
