Well that's the talk anyway. Personally I doubt it would happen, but who knows. At any rate, Blogs for Bush has already reserved "Blogs for Cheney". Outside the Beltway doesn't think Cheney will do it either...but notes that Jeb...

Thanks. I honestly have not read that anywhere until now. However, since this happened back in 1999 and since that time Bush has been re-elected handily in Florida, I would suspect this incident was dismissed by voters.

TALLAHASSEE -- Gov. Jeb Bush said Monday that his wife misled U.S. Customs officials about $19,000 in new clothing and jewelry she brought into the country because she didn't want him to know how much she had spent on her five-day Paris shopping trip.

Forced to explain his wife's actions at the Atlanta airport Thursday, Bush said Monday that the episode had disrupted their family life. His wife, Bush said, feels "horrible about this."

"It was a difficult weekend at our house," Bush said.

On Friday, the Bushes disclosed that Columba Bush had paid a $4,100 fine and was briefly detained by Customs agents for failing to declare merchandise when she arrived at Hartsfield International Airport. With that, the low profile enjoyed by the governor's quiet wife ended. "Shop 'til you drop," read a headline Saturday in the Bush's new hometown paper, the Tallahassee Democrat.

In his first public remarks about the Customs fine, Bush on Monday declined to specify exactly what his wife had purchased, and he tried to guard her privacy.

"I love my wife more than life -- she is my comfort and I am very proud of her. . . . What she does with our money is our business -- she can deal with that with me," Bush told reporters before signing into law the education reform package that is the biggest achievement of his first year in office.

The U.S. Customs Service, meantime, disclosed that Mrs. Bush had been given two chances to truthfully identify the amount of federal duty she owed on her purchases.

On a mandatory declaration form handed out Thursday on her Delta flight from France to Atlanta, Mrs. Bush falsely stated she had purchased $500 worth of goods, according to the Bushes and a U.S. Customs service spokesman.

Customs agents then found some shopping receipts in her purse. But Mrs. Bush declined the opportunity to change her declaration, Customs spokesman Patrick Jones said.

After that, Customs agents searched her luggage and found the merchandise. At that point Mrs. Bush confessed to all of her purchases, telling agents she did not answer truthfully at first because she did not want her husband to know how much she had spent, according to Bush spokesman Cory Tilley.

Yes... Wednesday again and today's edition of Round the Reader will be the "sanding and puttying" edition. Why? Well, I'm helping my troop out with a nursery remodel for the rapidly approaching birth of his second child. Where's my gas...

Mr. Miniter misses the single most important obstacle to a successful Jeb Bush Presidential campaign — Terri Schiavo. We aren't about to forget her, and what Jeb didn't do to save her life

President Bush is now outspending Bill Clinton by 38%. Factor in the record deficits, and Bush is the least fiscally conservative president we've had in 40 years.

In all seriousness, if Jeb runs in 2008, consider the Democrats winners. Americans hate dynasty more than just about anything.

It's why America exists, now that I think about it!

I understand (to a degree) the daughter with her drug troubles, but I have heard nothing about Jeb's wife. Have I missed something?
