People might recognize Bush from his new gig on the "Today" show or "Access Hollywood." But there is, of course, another part of his bio that is thick with irony: He's a member of the Bush family. Yes, that Bush family.
Billy Bush is first cousins with former Florida governor Jeb Bush, who was favored to win the Republican nomination before Trump came along and started calling him "low-energy" and attacking him daily on the stump.
That means Billy Bush is also first cousins with former president George W. Bush, who Trump has suggested is to blame for 9/11 and who started an Iraq War that Trump has labeled a disaster.

The irony is so freaking thick.
I swear, this day is like the best Christmas ever

(570 posts)He used to have a radio show in DC, from which he was fired. On that show he used to frequently brag about his family connections and how he used them to get the job he was clearly not qualified for. He was fired the week his cousin (G.W. Bush) took office. How's that for irony?
Unfortunately, these critters fail up and so he moved onto a bigger audience in TV, where he harassed his co-workers and made a general ass of himself.

(101,320 posts)that they might want to get 'Access Hollywood' looking in their archive, during the primaries. I guess he was too concerned trying to keep quiet about his own remarks, rather than helping his family. Or the country.

(7,288 posts)the Hillary campaign is responsible for this is in fact more likely that the bush gang are behind it? Just wondering...

(7,723 posts)But would be cool if the Bush crew did it too...
More likely it was someone at the studio who remembered this, and wanted to take down Trump

(7,288 posts)point the finger at the Clinton campaign for being responsible for this news release. It seems like an automatic fallback position for them. A pattern that's been going on since the late 80's.
