The campaign of George P. Bush hit a bump in the road this week as the daily newspaper in the capital city of Austin elected to endorse a Republican rival for the office of Texas Land Commissioner.
"In a weak field, we choose David Watts for land commissioner," declared the headline in the Austin American-Statesman on Tuesday.

"One truth about the Office of Texas Land Commissioner is that it tends to be a launching pad for politicians aspiring to bigger, brighter things," the editorial board wrote. "It's a reality that makes it even more strange that the vast majority of Texans aren't entirely sure what the land commissioner actually does."

George P. Bush Believes Texans Are Gullible Idiots

Is George P. Bush padding his resume?
The Austin-American Soviet snubbed him? Fancy that.
Let me get this straight Texans is that newspaper is my City version of LA Liars
Ouch, better call daddy Jeb and cry
as of last week, Mr. Watts was answering his email. had a good exchange with him. given our conversation, he sounds like a strong conservative to me. i didn’t get the feeling he was “weak” in the least. as always do your own vetting. needless to say, my money is going to Watts over Bush.
Pravda on the Colorado. If George P. was gay they would endorse him.
There was a time when the Austin-American Statesman was regarded as Pravda’s Austin bureau.
The expression, “nip it in the bud” comes to mind. Go away Jorge P.
Well, darn....
Thet’re just trying to keep the way clear for the Castros in 2016 and beyond. No sense letting the shrub take root.
OHH that sound like my LA Liars LOL!
Think of Austin as a combo of Sacramento and San Francisco.
So they as lib as Frisco and Sac-Town here in Cali LOL!
Well, the Calif. cities are worse but Austin is the Texas rendition of them.
I lived in Austin in the early seventies. I hated it and it hated me. I left and never looked back.
