Pierce Bush, a grandson and nephew of presidents, announced Wednesday he is considering running for a Texas seat held by Republicans for decades until last year.

Bush, 38, is eyeing the Lone Star State's 7th Congressional District, in the Houston suburbs. His grandfather George H.W. Bush, represented a version of the district from 1967 to 1971. The former congressman, CIA director and vice president, a Republican, became president for one four-year term in 1989.

Bush, CEO of Houston-based Big Brothers Big Sisters Lone Star, is the son of Neil Bush, 64, who is the brother of former President George W. Bush, 72, and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, 66.

He looks like his father, whom I knew in college. Except that his father had long hair.

“Pierce” is Barbara’s maiden name.

Pierce Bush? Is that a name, or an aspiration?

They are like the Kennedy’s. Basically worthless and not worth the oxygen they waste each day.

Here’s his qualifications.

Pierce Bush had a prominent role discussing the family’s history in the recent CNN documentary special, “The Bush Years: Family, Duty, Power.”

Twitter page. No mention of Trump, Romney, or Mccain.

But looks short.

He can’t tie his tie worth a damn, either. Looks like a slob.

His name ‘Pierce’ comes from the maiden family name of Barbara Bush.
