After Jeb Bush suspended his bid for president Saturday, there was much gleeful chatter that the "Bush dynasty" was finally over. Kaput. Goodbye. In the 24 hours that followed, NBC’s "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd advised his audience, "the Bush dynasty comes to an official end." Vanity Fair published a lengthy "Requiem for the Bush dynasty," while The Atlantic ran "An elegy for the Jeb Bush Campaign." The Guardian put it this way: "Ding, dong, the dynasty is dead: So long to Jeb Bush and the family" while the New Republic declared, "And so the Bush dynasty comes to an end."
These accounts appear to overlook the candidate's son. George Prescott Bush, 39, is a former public school teacher, an attorney, U.S. Navy Reserve officer, real estate investor, married father of two and the commissioner of the Texas General Land Office. Mr. Bush the younger won his bid for that influential office in 2014 after conducting an aggressive campaign and promising Texas voters, "I will bring my conservative values and my real-world experience with me."
The grandson of George H.W. Bush and the nephew of George W. Bush is not likely to fade into the Long Star landscape anytime soon.

Nope. Like the Kennedys, the Bush clan is on the wane. No third helping of RINO Brand GOPe Dogfood.
Daughters of the Republic of Texas Take a Stand Against Geo. P. Bush
SAN ANTONIO (CN) - Land Commissioner George P. Bush is illegally trying to seize a 38,000-piece collection of Alamo memorabilia the Daughters of the Republic of Texas collected over a century, the Daughters claim in court.
Adding outrage to insult, the Daughters of the Republic say, Bush warned them that San Antonio police would institute “special patrols” around the Daughters’ library and museum, “apparently believing the DRT would attempt to remove its Library Collection to another location.”
George P. Bush was elected Texas land commissioner in November 2014. He is the eldest son of former Florida governor, and undeclared 2016 Republican presidential candidate, Jeb Bush.
George P. Bush declared in March, two months after he took office, that his office would take control of the Daughters of the Republic’s enormous library, museum and memorabilia collection within 120 days.
The Daughters of the Republic call it an “unlawful attempt to take the organization’s private property,” in their March 23 lawsuit in Bexar County Court.
In the lawsuit, the Daughters of the Republic call themselves “an extraordinarily significant organization of women, unfailingly loyal to Texas.”
They claim that in 1905, they “saved the Alamo from almost certain destruction by purchasing the Alamo for the State of Texas.” For the next 110 years, the Daughters say, they “tirelessly and selflessly served the state as the caretaker of the Alamo.”
They have preserved and maintained the Alamo’s library collection - near the Alamo - since the 1940s. Renamed the Alamo Research Center, it is free and open to researchers and the public.
Its 38,000 items include a map drawn by Stephen F. Austin in 1827, other maps, flags, books and Texas artifacts, including 1,000 artworks and 200 pieces of sheet music about the Alamo, San Antonio and Texas.
Also included in the collection are Davy Crockett’s shot pouch and rifle and Jim Bowie’s knife: those artifacts, however, were added in a separate deal the musician Phil Collins cut with the Land Office last year.
Barf!!
No more Establishment/Globalist!
If you can’t tell from the stupid look on his face this guy was picked up by the police for stalking a former girlfriend he broke up with a year before after he was found kicking in her bedroom window.
Historic group wins one battle in Alamo collection lawsuit
AUSTIN - The Daughters of the Republic of Texas won a legal battle this week in an ongoing dispute over control of historical items in an Alamo research library.
The General Land Office has taken over administering the Alamo buildings, grounds and operations but the daughters, a historical preservation group, is claiming that the state wants to seize their items from the Alamo Research Center, a library.
This week District Judge Larry Noll in Bexar County temporarily blocked the General Land Office from taking items.
“Such conduct (by the land office) causes harm to the DRT (daughters) including loss of control over and access by the DRT to those items in the Library Collection that are rightfully owned or possessed by DRT,” the judge’s order states. “The Court finds that the value of the DRT Library Collection is incalculable and that the DRT Library includes items of great historical significance, many of which are one of a kind.”
The state is arguing that part of the collection belongs to the state.
A trial date has been set for Feb. 22, just over a week before the GOP March 1 primaries.
George P. Bush, the son of presidential candidate and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, and nephew to former President George W. Bush, is the Texas land commissioner overseeing the land office, and is considered a rising Republican star.
Awful family. All of them.
Good to see their political fortunes in ashes.
LOL. I'm not, but remember the revolting estrogen fueled "Day in the life of ..." threads with all of the gushy whiny women who posted to it? Either they've all gone to gush over 0bama or they really ARE waiting for the reanimation of the GOPe Bush dynasty
Doubt it.
feh...
Is P. a silver-tongued rascal like his grandpa, uncle and Pa?
You know what they call the Bush sitting in the middle?
An interpreter.
