Here’s old “Poppy” Bush talking to the teevee about how he will order America to make his son Jeb be “elected” President, sooner or later, dead or alive. Obviously this will happen, because we forget everything terrible about this shady oil corporation of a family every eight years and just assume that one of them should run the country. And, well, if you look at the other clowns the GOP has in its stable, Jeb’s good enough, or at least predictable and has a modest record of competency. Sure. [YouTube]

Hillary Clinton may have “worked like an animal” to win her Senate seat, but she also had crazy awesome name recognition due to her years-long sham marriage to international playboy Bill Clinton.

Among the Bushes, Jeb is known as “the smart one with the Mexican wife and the hot son and the pillhead daughter.” He had dibs on the presidency, but then George stepped in first, and now Jeb Bush is just the former governor of a state full of alligators and Truck Nutz addicts. But now he says he might run for the Florida Senate seat that Mel Martinez will vacate in 2010. The Bushes, like the Clintons, will never ever leave politics, ever. [Politico]

Now we have no proof that there’s anything illicit going on here (water pipes are for tobacco, as we all know, and Ms. Schlossberg recently turned 18). Just as we have no proof that, in the picture after the jump, the lovely young lady is not simply holding a bottle of what could easily be juice. And with her family history, we kind of hope it is.

Update: It does appear to be a legitimate hookah — and yeah, that means probably tobacco. The other stuff gums up the works. Still more proof that the second picture depicts young Rose proudly and legally imbibing unfermented grape juice, possibly Welch’s.
