George Pee Bush is going nowhere.
Actually, ever since he was old enough to pee. That's why he is known as Pee.
Tell him there’s room in the democrat party.
And take his whole family with him.
“George Pee Bush is going nowhere.”
He is running for Texas Land Commissioner and will likely win.

since 98% of Texas is privately held, what does he do? I know the last one walked around and showed everyone his guns.
