AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — George P. Bush is officially running for Texas land commissioner — ending months of speculation about which statewide office the grandson of one former president and nephew of another planned to seek.

His spokesman, Trey Newton told The Associated Press that Bush spoke with current Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson before filing the official paperwork Tuesday.

An attorney from Fort Worth and Spanish-speaker whose mother is originally from Mexico, Bush is considered a rising star among conservative Hispanics.

Land commissioner can be a stepping stone to higher office in Texas. Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst served in the post before winning his current job.

1. Cockroach family. For every one or two Bushes you see, there's like

a dozen more waiting behind the baseboards.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

2. They called his uncle "Dubya" - will they call him "Pee"?

[Lasher]

3. Is this the one named after the family patriarch, Hermann Göring Bush?

[mbperrin]

4. So his little assault/attempted rape/property destruction at Rice is now forgotten?

Hmmm.

[Joe Bacon]

10. Your Corporate Controlled Conservative Press forgot about it.

Besides, Republicans are above the law. Just like Laura killing her ex boyfriend. They do the crime and walk away clean.

16. and W's drug bust and Prescott's Nazi money hiding and Papa Bush's Iran Contra role...

[Coyotl]

5. Testing for toxicity of surname, no doubt, cuz cous'n Jeb needs to know.

Can a Bush win TX? I hope not.

[olddad56]

6. Oh the Bush dynasty, sort of like the Kennedys. only

comparing the Bushes to the Kennedys is like comparing Walmart to Sachs 5th Ave.

[freshwest]

7. The GOP believes he can pull the Hispanic vote. I hope they're wrong, but it's a shrewd move.

[no_hypocrisy]

8. What are his chances?

[LeftInTX]

9. Republicans in Texas will vote for him

They still like Dubya. Could care less what Dems or the rest of the country think.

[Fat Bastard]

11. I hope he comes dead last.

and ends with a scandal that tarnishes the Bush name forever.

12. Does he still go around calling himself "Ricky Martin Bush?"

Here's all you need to know about Lil' Ricky:

So TSG wasn't too surprised to learn that "P" was involved ina 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.

13. Good Gawd not another one.........

How prolific are these Bushes? Sounds like we need some roundup.

[olddad56]

14. they are like cockroaches

[heather blossom]

15. God help us all

when is this family going away? Hope my fellow Texans do not vote him into office!

[Bucky]

17. Bet there's big money behind him. Unless he fucks up, he'll get elected.

Little P Bush is a bonehead, a rowdy fratboy who's lived a privileged life. Texan Republicans fall for this shit all the time... and getting the GOP nom is the same as getting elected in statewide politics. He ain't done shit in the Agriculture business, so who knows why he picked this office, except of course as a springboard to something bigger in four or eight years, whenever Governor-for-life Perry decides to pull a Benedict.

18. Go away, Bushies.

We're sick of your bloodthirsty klan.
