Jeb's Hispanic son will be the favorite at that point. He is in the wings.
Does Jeb have one of every colour then? Like Angie Jolie. How very progressive if he does smile

Ooh i've got one of those. I think on that basis I shall get my son to run as Prime Minister of Spain but unfortunately can't help him on the nepotism.

It's universal. It's not uncommon for kids to follow in paternal footsteps.

UK - Elizabeth II becomes ????? Eenie, meenie, miny, moe

erm but for some small consitutional responsibilities which she has been advised never to use the Queen has no powe. So don't get too upset that we have a hereditary monarchy much like Sweden, Norway, Belgium, Denmark, Holland, Monaco, Spain and a few others.

Here's Jeb's other son, Jeb Jr. In his mug shot from his arrest.



Here's his daughter Noelle, her fetching mugshot taken from one of her arrests.



Nice family the Bush's.

British Politics has been ever more dumbed down since 1832.
TBH I don't know whether that's is the case or not, I certainly wouldn't be tempted to argue the point. But it has made me wonder, are Politicians less honest now or is it because we all get to hear and read of mis-doings. In the past perhaps it was simply accepted that Politicians are the people that lead and govern and the common man would hear nothing of wrong doing?

However actors do not hold positions as the 'leader of the free world'.

The other way to look at it is, I suppose, that it doesn't matter who is actually President. They are simply a figurehead for their party and all the really important decisions are simply fed through them.

But that just makes them like a normal British family, the only difference being that most dysfunctinoal families here don't have 2 former presidents and future hopeful in them. They've just got 20 more of the above.

That would be Countdown IIRC. UR is an ex pat in Indiana. He is a pain, but comparing him to Countdown is a bit harsh, and he does drive a Jag.....so points there. wink
