The president's nephew speaks out, dude.

Son of NEIL - oh, yeah

Oh My God! Not ANOTHER Bush to screw everyone but themselves and their wealthy minions!

And THIS ONE is NEIL'S son: Remember? The one who was bailed out of owing all of us billions in S&L scandal money, by his daddy, the then president?

When will it ever end, this family of thieves worming (pun intended) their way into the upper eschelons of government?

Another candidate

for the fire your publisist contest. What is with the hair? It looks like a badly adviced "Ted Kopple" or an early comb over.

The power of genes...

...is scary. You know what I'm sayin', Campbell?

And that weird feeling we're getting

...is the rip in the space-time continium as a freshman nerd - we'll call him Kyle Rave - just spotted this young fella across the quad at the fraternity house. Du-u-u-de!

Privileged Youth

The not-so-funny subtext is this: he's an arrogant twit who has the nerve to criticize them for interviewing him too early.

He knew what he was getting into when he agreed to go on the show (unless he's unaware of the time zone difference between New York and Texas), yet he feels obliged to point out how put-upon he is (cue a John Stewart Bush "heh-heh-heh"). He's rude and obnoxious, and reeks of privilege. The Bush legacy lives on. Like Grandfather, like father, like son.

Wow, he wrote a letter

I wrote a letter to the editor once. No one put me on TV about it, though. Know what I'm saying? It's okay, though, it would only have taken me away from my Par-tay!

Hey, Pierce, dude! You're 19. If you really really really approve of your Uncle's policies in Iraq, then spare us the letter and GO JOIN THE ARMY. Do it today. Do it now. Volunteer for every dangerous mission that comes up. Enlist and re-enlist until the Long War is finally over.

All nighter or wake and bake

This guy is high. Got to be. I know a stoned frat boy when I see one.

3rd Worst Ever?

Pierce Bush is named after Barbara Bush's ancestor, Franlin Pierce, often cited as the worst President ever. Since W. no doubt will claim that title, young Pierce has a serious genetic leg up to top his uncle. Heaven help us all.

The Kennedys of the South??

No, just a rag-tag collection of inbred, redneck, cracker peckerwoods, teaching us all how the world would look if run by the Beverly Hillbillies. And Pierce? What a pussified piece of limp-dickery!

Deedledy-dee, indeed.

um

is he imitating his uncle? can he really be that obnoxious in that specific way?

2024?

By then I will be 104 years old, if I have ,in case Neill should run and win ,the misfortune of still being alive, surely would be scared stiff. No more Bushis please!
