Great picture. I was sitting in that same chair exactly a week before Jeb.

We went on the same cruise on the Wonder a week before the Bushes. We had a WONDERFUL time, just as they did.

My best friend's son was on this cruise. He's a huge Bush fan but was extremely disappointed in the conduct of the twins. He said that all they did was drink. He met Jeb's son George and thought he was just terrific. I guess the family mingled like normal folk though surrounded by Secret Service.

Wow, Jeb's a real human being after all; who would'a thunk it? $;-)

I hope he washes his hands often or he's asking for the cruise ship virus.

At least if he goes swimming he won't have to worry about being bitten by a shark. That's last year's news scare.

Were the twins even on the trip ? -- they weren't mentioned in this article -- and if they were there, and drinking the WHOLE time -- I'm SURE we would have heard about it already -- even if they ARE 21 now

Hi and welcome to FR! Indeed I hope Jeb runs in 2008. Talk about giving the rats a heart attack!

[JebBush2008]

Jeb will run in 2008 win and be re-elected in 2012. The only question is who of the next generation of the Bush Family will be elected in 2016? By that time George P will be around 40 and Jenna and Barbara will only be 35 not quite old enough to carry the family tradition.

I would not trust Barbara and Jenna with the family tradition lol.

Just think, it could have been Janet Beano in shorts.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

being bitten by a shark. That's last year's news scare.

How soon we forget.

Thomas is generally a @)&$(&#%)(#*$)_@,
but I did enjoy this particular interview. BTW, Thomas' home paper is the Orlando Sentinel, yet that picture did not appear in the Sentinel, only the article did.

Hi Amore, Nice to hear from you. I found this photo on the Orlando Sentinel's online site, with a photo credit by: Mike Thomas. This photo was also in other FL newspapers I saw, along with the AP version of this article.
