Jebby Bush arrested in Austin, TX

From the clan that's deeply concerned about the state of everyone else's family, and the folks charging ahead to rewrite the constitution and prevent ME from legally having a family at all, comes another tale of privelage, intoxication and the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission.

"John Ellis Bush, 21, was arrested by agents of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission at 2:30 a.m. on a corner of Austin's Sixth Street bar district, said commission spokesman Roger Wade. The nephew of President Bush was released on $2,500 bond for the resisting arrest charge, and on a personal recognizance bond for the public intoxication charge, officials said."

Little Bush, also known as "Jebby" (now there's a reason to drink) has been in trouble before. The long arm of the law once found Jebby and a girl macking in his car at a Florida mall...with their pants around their ankles.

Other Bushes who have run afoul of the law, include: Jebby's strung-out sister, Noelle, his older brother George P. Bush, and his infamous cousins Barbara and Jenna. Even Jebby's aunt, Laura Bush had some troubles when, in 1963, she ran into a car that happened to be driven by her boyfriend, Michael Dutton Douglas, 17. Douglas was killed, and no charges were filed against Laura Welch (Bush).Then, of course, there is Uncle G.W. and his buddy Dick Cheney.

I used to wonder if Gov. Jeb Bush might run for president in 2008. Given that his offspring and other family members are so maladjusted, and that his brother now polls below Richard Nixon on a bad day, I think another Bush is unlikely in 2008.
