You won't believe this.

Well, yes, you will, especially as it comes on the heels of Bush appointing a rabid mysoginist to his campaign's tech team.

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 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.

2. Fortunately for Jeb, Republicans are quick to forgive and forget Republican faux pas.

Dems will never vote for him anyway. So in a very sad, sad way, he's likley good to go on the Republican ticket.
