Your mailer is fine: all three things (George, Bush and bush@tree)
are correct addresses. So if you do want only the last one to be 
taken as an address, the address should be "full name <real address>".

By the way, is George Bush reachable now ?  :-)
A president discussing things via USENET is an example of real democracy!
