Jeb Bush dumps emails, home addresses, and social security numbers of Florida residents online
The Verge ^ | February 10, 2015 | T.C. Sottek

Jeb Bush, a rumored 2016 Republican presidential candidate, just decided to publish hundreds of thousands of emails sent to him during his time as governor of Florida. On its face it seems like a great idea in the name of transparency, but there's one huge problem: neither Bush nor those who facilitated the publication of the records, including the state government, decided to redact potentially sensitive personal information from them.

"In the spirit of transparency, I am posting the emails of my governorship here," a note on Bush's website says. "Some are funny; some are serious; some I wrote in frustration." Some also contain the email addresses, home addresses, phone numbers, and social security numbers of Florida residents. The emails are available in Outlook format, and can be searched on the web at Bush's website.

“W had the brains “

I’m sorry, but dubya was as dumb as a rock and looked it too. He was elected after the Clinton fatigue and then after 9/11 and the subsequent asskicking by Cheney Rumsfeld co, which boosted his ratings.

But, you are forgetting: He speaks Spanish at home! Now, how many Americans are smart enough to do that?

His candidacy is done. He’s finished in politics. The class action suit will drag on from now until 2016.

Disagree. George W. had looks, brains and personality. JEB loses on all of them.

That or perhaps he really screwed up and hired some of mcStain’s former presidential campaign ‘advisors’..

Doesn’t matter-he had about as much chance of getting my vote as Mittens did.

Should I point out that Palin’s emails were released? Should I also point out that if Sarah P. had released emails revealing private info she would be crucified?

Again, another prime example of the utter stupidity and naivety of Jeb (Eduardo) Bush.

And what would he do with national secrets?

Pretty sure we don’t need him anywhere NEAR the W.H.

Maybe there is one from me telling him not to be such a pansy and to save Terry Schiavo.
