As if the nation hasn't suffered enough from the BS "leadership" of the Bush clan, George P got himself elected Land Commissioner in Texas, often one of the first steps toward the Governorship. (He's one of "the little brown ones" Bush1 claimed as grandkids, all those years ago. He's also the son of !JEB!.)
Damn near the first thing this GOP "rising star" did? Seize the Alamo and the library therein.

What's his office going to do, as the State of Texas "manager" of the Alamo?
Outsource it, of course.
The management of the Alamo will transition to the state's General Land Office over the next four months. During that time, the Land Office will solicit proposals for the development of a strategic plan for the Alamo grounds and search the nation for a new management company.
The Daughters of the Republic of Texas, who kept the Alamo from being bulldozed around the turn of the 20th Century and had maintained and managed it for 110 years, have sued for return of custody of the artifacts and books from their library Bush seized.
The Daughters' lawsuit focuses on the collection within the research library, which was established in 1945. In the lawsuit, the group said it owns more than 77 percent of the collection, made up of some 38,000 items, including books, maps, flags, and other artifacts used by researchers.
Ellen McCaffrey, president general of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, said part of the collection is stored in a vault within the library. "Our intent is to have oversight over how the collection is maintained, of the staffing, of how items are treated to make sure they are treated properly and to make sure donors' wishes are honored," McCaffrey said.
Even if the group wins the suit, she said it does not intend to pack up the collection and haul it away. The library and its collection, she said, was "created to be on the grounds of the Alamo."
"That's how we would like to see it remain," she said. "We simply want to see it remain intact and cared for properly."
Is there no end to the Bush Crime Family's sheer unadulterated uckery?
