Former President Bush touts son Jeb for top job - Yahoo! News
I've always wondered whether senility is really related to age. I have now come to the conclusion that it is. Not only because this aged gentleman thinks he's in his right mind when he says he'd like to see anybody else from his gene pool become president. But also because he actually thinks they'd have a flying **** of a chance in hell after what his oldest son is leaving as a 'legacy'.
Perhaps so, says former President George H.W. Bush, who has already seen one son, George W., serve in the Oval Office. The nation's 41st president said Sunday that he would like to see a second son, Jeb, be president one day.
Jeb Bush is the current president's younger brother and a former popular governor of Florida. He is mulling a run for Senate seat being vacated by Sen. Mel Martinez, R-Fla.
Asked in a broadcast interview about Jeb Bush's consideration of the Senate seat, Bush 41 said: "I'd like to see him run. I'd like to see him be president someday."
When asked if he was serious, he said: "Or maybe senator. Whatever. Yes, I would. I mean, right now is probably a bad time, because we've had enough Bushes in there. But no, I would. And I think he's as qualified and able as anyone I know on the political scene. Now, you've got to discount that. He's my son."
The former president spoke on "Fox News Sunday" in an interview that was taped Friday in Houston.
He will be at the White House on Wednesday for a lunch with President George W. Bush, President-elect Barack Obama and former Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter.
