Bush: Jeb would be 'awesome' senator
(Politico) - President Bush is touting his younger brother Jeb’s qualifications to replace retiring Republican Mel Martinez as the next senator from Florida.
“He would be an awesome U.S. senator,” Bush said in a wide-ranging interview with RealClearPolitics.
“I think the party would benefit a lot by having Jeb Bush in the U.S. Senate,” the president added. “I think Florida would benefit a lot. I think the country would benefit a lot. And I think the Republican Party would benefit a lot. He is a proven leader who, when given responsibilities, succeeded.”
Earlier this month Jeb, a former two-term governor of Florida, told Politico that he is “considering” a run for Martinez’s seat. The Florida senator announced his retirement on Dec. 2.

God save us from another Bush in national politics. These people are like a case of syphilis. They are the gift that keeps on giving, long after you just wish they were gone.
