Every family has skeletons in their collective closets. Even the best of parents cannot control everything with which their children gets involved. At some point, you have to let them grow up and make their own decisions and, unfortunately, sometimes they make destructive choices. I think Jeb and Columba are dealing with that right now. With so much emphasis placed on Nicole's drug problems, I think George Prescott Bush gets overshawdowed. He's out there doing good things - going to law school, trying to make a difference, being an advocate for Hispanic Americans. As a country, I think we tend to pay more attention to the negative and not reward the positives that are out there.
Yes, I live in Florida. Yes, I am a registered Republican. Yes, because we live in this wonderful democracy, we are allowed to have dissenting opinions. I just like to remind people that the Bushs are no different than any other family. You know there are people in your family that, if you were placed under the microscope, you wouldn't want to admit you were related to.
Just my opinion, but you know what they say about those...
