Update: Smoking Gun has the arrest warrant.

The Jeb Bush household is experiencing parenting problems again.

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

The 21-year-old nephew of President Bush was arrested by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission at 2:30 a.m. Friday on a corner of Austin's Sixth Street bar district, said spokesman Roger Wade.

    A 21 year old drank alcohol? Stop the presses.

    Has anyone ever seen Austin's 6th Street bachanal after closing time? It's a doozy.

    How Jeb Bush raises his kids is his business. That is until he tells the rest of us how to raise ours. Why it was almost 3 years ago to the day that the Governor announced Family Day - A Day to Eat Dinner With Your Children. According to the Governor, family dinners were a way for children to remain drug free. Now I think I know what the problem with Noel and John is. They skipped too many meals.

    I agree, it's none of our business. And I also wish they would stop inviting this kind of attention to their kids' personal lives by embracing the "family values" charade every election season.

    A notorious 21 year old, drinking egregiously enough to get a DIP. If the whole damn hypocritical clan didn't shove family values down our throat every time they belched up some words, it would be a non event (at least if your republican). But they do. C'mon folks, this is the problem. We make excuses because we are reasonable. The thugs take no prisoneers. Ergo, progressives=losers these days.

    the whole family is supremely dysfunctional, and i don't mean that in a good way.

    Wow, who ever knew that Jebby was a sex offender. Better not let him into the hurricane shelter. Seriously though, what is with the Bush family? George W. Bush: a DUI plus arrests for vandalism and disorderly conduct Noelle Bush: drug convictions Jebby Bush: sexual misconduct, and now public intoxication and resisting arrest. Columba Bush (Jeb's wife): Falsified a customs claim and was fined over $4000. Then there was Neil Bush and those Thai hookers, but I don't know if that was technically illegal or not. In my experience, it's not at all unusual for an upstanding family to have one black sheep, bad egg, what have you. But I haven't heard of many families on par with the Bushes, and I'm from Kentucky.

    it's too bad neil didn't just stick with hookers. instead, he had to help screw a bunch of innocent shareholders and depositors in the silverado savings & loan.

    What is a Bush brat doing getting drunk, while his daddy's whole extended family is drunk on power? I'm sympathetic. At least he isn't fighting in Bush's genocide in Iraq. He's either a coward, or honorable. Maybe he'll come forward and out his uncles. But then they would have to kill him. I say suspend the law in his case, just this once, and then give us our impeachment rights back.

    I suppose if Jr signed up for the military and got big press THAT would be important news. Pathetic? Your so self righteous it makes me sick.

    I do agree the Marines would probably be a good curative for a feckless or wild young man. Had a friend from childhood for whom it performed that very function; he wound up in the honor guard for JFK's funeral.

    Whoah! You mean, you can be arrested for being DRUNK in Texas?? .... I am so glad I don't live there. If I ever visit Texas, I'll remember to stay in my hotel room and call up room service, and hope they haven't made that illegal, too.

    Sure, you can get arrested in Texas for being drunk. You gotta be very drunk though. Or driving a car while drunk. Or black with beer on your breath. Otherwise, you're usually safe enough. I think Jebbie probably mouthed off to a cop on his way to his limo. That'll get you arrested in any state. Cops don't like arrogant pricks.

    Posted by LWW: "Do you "men" in here have nothing better to do than gossip like old ninnies?" Posted by Roger: "Stop the presses! I agree with LWW!" Both of you LIARS are free to take your toys and leave. Who's asking you to come here and WHINE like old ninnies? You really ought to get yourselves those Bill O'Reilly's anal vibrators. It will make being ARSEHOLES that much more pleasurable.

    They say children often emulate their parents... As more crap comes out on the Bush regime, the better chance the dems have at winning midterms by default. Noelle should have been incarcerated, and so should this young man... The courts are always talking about setting an example with this that or the other crime and criminal... What better way to "send an example" than to lock up a rich white conservatives son? I would bet that every wrong winger who begged Clinton for information about his hummer will be eerily silent about the extended Bush family... This is important you guys, it demonstrates that despite all the rhetoric about family values and this and that and the other BS, they have just as much difficulty raising a family as anyone else.

    Paul I tried to buy an anal vibrator this morning but they said they were out of stock. Last case was sent to a "Paul" in LA.

    At least you had the phone number, LWW. Keep it handy. You can store it in your tuckus. Adept, it's a Brave New World...on FIVE. TWO is just a mild thrill. THREE and he's ready for his tv show. Hey, when do we find out about Bill O'Reilly's heroin habit, anyhow? He probably gives himself ruffies and then has forced sex with himself.

    Clinton's fault, obviously. He set a bad example as president when this poor kid was growing up.

    LWW-WTF are in with a bunch of necrophiliacs:
    You or your whole degenerate family aren't fit to sniff her death shroud.
    With all due respect, I will pass on a sniff.

    I say run the presses double time. Politicians apply different sets of rules to their kids than they do to everyone elses. Every time their kids get in trouble it is referred to as "a private family matter" (and it most certianly should be) but when it is you or your kids your names are dragged through the newspaper and it is anything but a private matter. When they begin to treat the rest of the American people with dignity when it comes to substance use or addiction then it will not be news when they are caught doing the same kinds of things that we mere peasants do. Until then they are fair game!

    If any of you cybermaxizoomdweebies know jack squat about the Bushs, which none of you do I wager, you surely would not be encased in such drivel here. Why don't you freakin losers get a life and tighten up? Peace y'all.

    PIL, Sorry that you are offended, but this just is not news. Kid has sex in car with GF, Kid gets drunk, whoopee. Uncle freezes during any crises- that;s news!
