Now Meet The Unstoppable Half-Hispanic, Veteran Son Of Jeb Bush

http://www.businessinsider.com/george-p-bush-2012-11


George P. Bush speaks during the 2011 Republican Leadership Conference. Bush, the half-Hispanic nephew of former president George W. Bush, has taken a first step towards running for political office in Texas, US media reported.


Former Florida governor Jeb Bush has reached out to his old donors, asking them to help get another George Bush -- his son -- established in Texas politics, US media reported Wednesday.

George P. Bush aims to be the third member of the Bush political dynasty to make a name for himself in the Lone Star state.
His uncle, George W. Bush, served as Texas governor before winning the White House in 2000 and his grandfather, former president George H.W. Bush, began his political career as a Texas congressman.

George P.'s first foray into political office will be a bid for the office of Land Commissioner, a powerful position charged with overseeing mineral rights in the oil-rich state.

1) George P. Bush might be a hunkalicious young Republican, but he still seems a bit creepy. So TSG wasn't too surprised to learn that "P" was involved in a troubling 1994 incident described in this Metro-Dade Police Department report. On December 31, 1994, Bush showed up at 4 AM at the Miami home of a former girlfriend. He proceeded to break into the house via the woman's bedroom window, and then began arguing with his ex's father. Bush, then a Rice University student, soon fled the scene. But he returned 20 minutes later to drive his Ford Explorer across the home's front lawn, leaving wide swaths of burned grass in his wake. Young Bush avoided arrest when the victims declined to press charges.

I wonder what kind of "influence" was used on the family to drop charges on him? I seem to recall another incident where he was caught having sex in a car parked somewhere (or, it may have been one of his brothers. EVERYONE from JEB's family, including his wife, has had some type of run-in with the law)
