Thanks, James. I guess now I do remember some of that.

Christopher: His wife, Columba:

On July 24, 1999, Bush was detained by the U.S. Customs Service at Hartsfield International Airport in Atlanta after returning from a trip to Paris, France, on a Delta flight. On a mandatory declaration form handed out on the flight, Bush falsely stated that she had purchased only $500 worth of goods. Customs agents then found some shopping receipts in Bush's purse, but she declined an opportunity to change her declaration. When Customs agents searched Bush's luggage and found the merchandise, she then confessed to the agents that she had lied on the declaration form because she did not want her husband to know how much she had spent. Under federal law, customs agents could have fined her up to the full dollar amount of the purchases and confiscated the merchandise; however, Bush was only fined $4100 and returned to Tallahassee that evening with her purchases. The Bushes issued a written apology admitting to the incident late the next day.

His daughter, Noelle:

Gov. Jeb Bush's 25-year-old daughter was found with crack cocaine at a rehabilitation center, police said Tuesday. If confirmed, it would be her second lapse since entering court-ordered drug treatment. [...] Bush was arrested in January at a Tallahassee pharmacy drive-through window for allegedly trying to buy the anti-anxiety drug Xanax with a fraudulent prescription. She was admitted to the treatment center a month later, with the possibility charges would be dropped if she completed the program. But in July, she was found to be in contempt of court because a worker at the treatment center found her carrying prescription pills, which belonged to another worker and had been taken from a cabinet. Circuit Judge Reginald Whitehead sent her to jail for three days.

His son, John Ellis:

The youngest son of Florida Gov. Jeb Bush was arrested early Friday and charged with public intoxication and resisting arrest, law enforcement officials said.

[...] Is Jeb Bush Part Of A Damaged “Brand Name?” Speculation went wild when he made a comment in Spanish, and it wasn’t “Yo quiero Taco Bell” (which he might have wanted for Katherine Harris…) He said he had “no future.” James Joyner looks at Bush’s statements and his supporters’ efforts to keep pitching him in THIS MUST READ post. A small part: Jeb Bush has some baggage, including a wife and daughter who can’t seem to abide by the laws of the land, that would complicate a presidential run even aside from his brother’s low approval numbers and the natural hesitancy of the electorate to elect a third Bush president in sixteen years. I nonetheless expect him to make a serious run at the White House at some point. He’s still a young man–a few weeks shy of his 54th birthday–so 2012 or 2016 are definite options. [...]

US core law prohibits "corruption of blood" (punishing relatives for someone's crime) and —however much our "special ally" may do otherwise in the ME— the core law is right. The corollary should be that we earnesty discourage nepotism and the divine right of kings within the rut of our presidential families.
