LAS VEGAS — Former president George W. Bush plans to stay off the 2016 campaign trail as his younger brother prepares to mount a presidential bid, telling a group of Republican Jewish donors here that he does not want to fuel an anti-dynastic backlash.

“He said that one of the challenges his brother is going to have is that the country doesn’t like dynasties,” recalled David Volosov, a RJC member from Silver Spring, Md. “People are going to say, ‘Oh, here comes another Bush.’ His response is that he is going to stay as far as way as he can. He is going to stay away from the whole process.”

“He basically said that his brother is going to have some issues with the name 'Bush' to contend with,” said Lisa Karlovsky of Scottsdale, Ariz.

** Rofl, good move George, no one will know you're brothers if you stay hidden*

Just watch. Jeb's campaign buttons and bumper stickers will all say "Jeb" and not a
mention of "Bush" for fear of association with Shit-for-Brains, the worst president ever.

Filling that $500,000,000 library won't be easy and will definitely occupy most of his remaining time.

...bad he didn't decide this years ago. The country would have been much better off. Too little, too late.
