Offshoring money is as American as waterboarding, another Bush Family tradition.

Well, he’s a Bush isn’t he? They’re fraught with all kinds of crap, figuratively and literally.

Lets not forget his amazing contributions to education by 1) approving FCAT testing and 2) running the company responsible for administering it 3) ruining schools and the lives of kids who now study to pass the fcat rather than learn life skills.

A Jeb candidacy would be fun. It would be entertaining to see how Democrats could screw up an election against a GOP’er that cannot win. If I was in a leadership position in the Democratic Party I would be looking hard for an alternative to HRC, she will win if she runs, and scour the dregs of my party for as uninspiring a candidate as I could find.
The GOP is not as suicidal as the Democratic Party. They aren’t going to run Jeb. Maybe the Democrats could run him.

Jeb is the opposite of W. Jeb is cunning, sly, conniving, arrogant, ruthless, and, as far as I can tell, totally devoid of conscience or morality.
Having said that I sincerely hope that both he and Romney run for the GOP nomination. They are both part of old political dynasties and as such they know each others’ secrets and of the skeletons hidden in each others’ closets. As they also have great amounts of money and can hire the most ruthless political operatives, I think it would be a great bloodbath and would, hopefully, be the political death knell for both families. (It’s rather obvious that they are grooming Jeb’s son to run for prez some day.)
I also hope that Hillary doesn’t run. I think she would be a good president but I think she carries too much baggage. Few would vote based on her abilities, but rather on her perceived history. Warren is looking good to me.

Possibly 5 if you go back to Granddaddy Prescott Bush (from Wiki):
Bush was one of seven directors (including W. Averell Harriman) of the Union Banking Corporation (holding a single share as a director), an investment bank that operated as a clearing house for many assets and enterprises held by German steel magnate Fritz Thyssen.[6][7] In July 1942, the bank was suspected of holding gold on behalf of Nazi leaders.[8] A subsequent government investigation disproved those allegations but confirmed the Thyssens’ control, and in October 1942 the United States seized the bank under the Trading with the Enemy Act and held the assets for the duration of World War II.[6]
Runs in the family.

How is that the opposite of W? OK, cunning and sly imply some intelligence but the rest are W all the way.

'They’re looking for political protection, and the Bush name legitimizes the investment and makes him a perfect partner.”
Yep, sounds just like a Bush.
Bush Crime Family. It’s a thing.
Offshore private equity funds are people too, my friend…
