When Jeb Bush first ran for governor of Florida in 1994, his father had recently been booted out of the White House and the fortysomething son very much wanted to be seen as his own man. So, when it came time to design his bumper stickers, he went with a red background and “Jeb!” in chunky white letters.
There was no mention of his famous surname or his party, and the jolting exclamation point was the opposite of his family’s Kennebunkport reserve. Bush ended up losing that race but keeping the brand, reusing the logo in his 1998 political comeback and in his 2002 gubernatorial re-election campaign.
Now “Jeb!” is back. Bush revealed on Sunday on Twitter that he’s reviving his old-school, Seinfeld-era insignia to be the symbol of his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, which he announced Monday in Miami. This time, only the colors have been flipped: ruby characters over white, underlined by “2016” in navy blue.
The choice was perhaps a natural one for Bush, 62, recalling his early tenure in Tallahassee, long before the rise of the tea party, when he was the definition of a national conservative star and his family was as popular as ever with GOP voters....

Still no comment from Terri Schiavo.
How do you say “Jeb” in Spanish?
“Heb”.
How appropriate that this story got posted right after, “Finland: Horse manure plan to heat homes”
Jeb! vs Hillary! - Because the past is the past. So let bygones be bygones
People need to speak for her.Loudly and continuously.
Jeb! v. Hillary!
It’s like bizarro world.

In a government of the corrupt, for the corrupt, by the corrupt, what chance does a non-criminal have? Of course it will be Bush vs. Clinton again.
And if it is, I'm done with them all.
“How do you say “Jeb” in Spanish?”
El Jebito de Mexico
“And if it is [Bush v. Clinton], I’m done with them all.”
Me too.
"Meester Boosh gives us jobs and your taxpayer monies essay! We go loco and leeve in de states! We suppert Yeb for Meester President!"
you’d be surprised on how few people know his real name, I can’t believe that people actually thin a rich, blue blood WASP family would name their son JEB like a hick...
Still no comment from Terri Schiavo. >>
and he’s running as a pro-life candidate.
The RNC plans to force you to vote to give your country to fraudulently documented foreigners by voting for Jebster.
Not ever going to happen with me.
Forced to decide between Jebbie and Hillary, I’d have to conclude Hillary is the lesser evil.
The Republicans in Congress might act like an opposition party instead of passing all the same things for Jebecita.

LOL
Like Hillary, he needs an exclamation point.
Somehow, this reminds me of the concluding sentence in Orwell's Animal Farm: "The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
Kismet?
