John Ellis Bush is no more Hispanic than his mother, father or his four siblings.<\/p>\n

He’s an Anglo-American. But in 2009 he put “Hispanic” on his voter registration form.<\/p>\n

Thus, the 2016 presidential campaign comedy of errors has begun — and John Ellis Bush, aka Jeb, isn’t even an official candidate for president.<\/p>\n

PoliticsUSA, a left-leaning website, says Jeb Bush committed a third-degree felony by registering falsely when he listed his ethnicity as Hispanic. Those folks are all up in arms over it, complaining that the media are giving Bush a pass.<\/p>\n

What does PoliticsUSA want to happen to Bush? Toss him in jail for committing a third-degree felony\u00a0six years ago?<\/p>\n

I’m not willing to slap irons on the former Florida governor’s wrists and\/or ankles.<\/p>\n

Hey, perhaps he was thinking of his wife, Columba, who was born in Mexico. She’s Hispanic, for sure. So are the couple’s children, the most notable of whom is George P. Bush, the newly elected Texas land commissioner.<\/p>\n

My favorite memory of George P. Bush is watching\u00a0the then-teenager\u00a0at the 1992 Republican\u00a0National Convention in Houston extolling the virtues of his grandfather, President George H.W. Bush, who was seeking re-election. “Viva Boosh!”<\/em> shouted George P. from the podium that day — bringing down the house in the Astrodome.<\/p>\n

Jeb Bush will get past this little kerfuffle.<\/p>\n

Just a reminder, though:\u00a0John Ellis\u00a0Bush, you are an Anglo. Keep it straight in the future, all right?<\/p>\n
