Texas Land Commissioner and Bush family scion, George P. Bush is taking heat from both sides of the political aisle. He is, of course, unloved to say the least by any Democrats who still wonder exactly how Uncle George completely flipped the political omelet in Texas with his election as Governor back in 1994 and have never recovered. But now George P. is taking heat from the ultra-right not only for doing a terrible job as Land Commissioner but for a number of alleged ethical failings.
For an example of just how much he is loathed by the far right, take a gander at the Texian Partisan. TP has chronicled George P.’s troubles with the Alamo restoration leading up to his planned resignation from the Alamo Trust under a cloud of suspicion, his secretive West Austin mansion held under a trust which GPB failed to disclose in his Texas Ethics Commission filings, and his false claim to be a “retired naval officer.” Interesting reading.
In the interest of full disclosure, Red has endorsed Jerry Patterson in the upcoming GOP primary.
