Sources close to the family have confirmed that John Ellis Bush's nickname, Jeb, was not based on his initials. Instead, it was based on what his father noted of baby Jeb's babbling, "Jargon, Extra Bland."

Doesn't "extra bland" describe everything about the Bushes?

That guy is more evidence for my hypothesis that some people who aren't terribly good looking can find one odd angle that makes them look good, and abuse it. The rest of my data come from online dating site.

I think she'd look good sitting just to the right of her hubby, there on that bench. And that way, neither of them would ever have to step down "to spend more time with their family."

Same here. Last I heard about her in the news, she was filming a movie that involved a rape scene, and when the locals found out, they tried to make the District Attorney stop filming.

She's so awesome. And I love the expression on Bush's face. Who wouldn't look like that?

yeah, it was a few years ago, right around when she stopped doing movies. My memory might not be perfect, but at the same time I'm not sure how to go around searching for the original article.

I'm tired of that snotty attitude. It's a funny show, and if you can't laugh at yourself, you'll never be really happy.

She's also chummy with Cecile Richards (Pres. of Planned Parenthood, daughter of Ann). Maybe she's the adopted Bush.
