" Ah, the perils of being American royalty. Jeb (!) Bush has had some trouble with his\u00A0family\u00A0ever since\u00A0the rumors began to swirl that he was the latest Bush with his eyes on the White House. First, his own mother said he shouldn&amp;#039;t run. Then, his dad&amp;#039;s book seemed to pile on the shame with regard to his brother&amp;#039;s foreign policy legacy as president\u2014a legacy so toxic that Jeb (!) seemed to be trying to pretend his last name was\u00A0a punctuation symbol.  And now Jeb (!) has added his own scene to\u00A0this high-born family drama. According to The New York Times,\u00A0today he announced, unbidden,\u00A0that he loves\u00A0one of his parents more than the other. &amp;quot;I get asked this all the time: &amp;#039;Well, are you like your brother? Are you like your dad?&amp;#039; I know there&amp;#039;s a real fascination about this.\u00A0Let&amp;#039;s just\u2014let me get this out of the way: I love my mother more than my dad.&amp;quot; If you&amp;#039;re keeping score at home, he prefers the parent who explicitly criticized his presidential run to the one with the book. But wait\u2014there&amp;#039;s more. The episode was part of a larger tirade about his clan. &amp;quot;Put aside all the 41 and 43\u2014who you like, all that stuff that&amp;#039;s a People magazine kind of fascination,&amp;quot; he continued, referring to his father, George Bush, the 41st president, and his brother, George W. Bush, the 43rd president.\u00A0&amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m blessed, that&amp;#039;s all I have to tell you.\u00A0I&amp;#039;m blessed to be George and Barbara&amp;#039;s son, and I&amp;#039;m blessed to be George W.&amp;#039;s brother. But the world we&amp;#039;re in today is dramatically different than 2000, when my brother got elected, and 2001, when the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon and the plane went down in Pennsylvania.&amp;quot; So, in case you were wondering: he likes his family. Just some more than others. [H/T\u00A0The New York Times] "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
