SocraticGadfly: Bush royal dynasty to continue?

Bush royal dynasty to continue?

Jeb Bush is mulling a run for Mel Martinez’s U.S. Senate seat, according to Politico; here's the telling pull quote:
“Jeb wants to be king. He doesn't want to be a prince,” state Sen. Michael Barnett said. “He's used to getting things done and getting things done now. He’s not one to wait for the process."

Doesn’t that “king" comment apply to every Bush family member (Shrub above all, of course), who has been a political officeholder?

For a further take on the Jebster, Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz says the former governor is “literally the most inflexible public official I’ve ever encountered in my 16 years in office."
