After an Awful Week, Jeb Plays the Distraction Game

It’s no surprise the Tampa Bay Times named Jeb Bush the “Loser of the Week in Florida politics.” A series of damning articles from Bloomberg, Salon, and other outlets that detailed his “Mitt Romney problem.” His efforts to get a presidential pardon for a terrorist. Favors he’s done for a mobster who defauded Medicare.

No wonder Jeb’s is trying to change the subject. His solution: release 250,000 emails from his time as governor to demonstrate his commitment to transparency.

The only problem? They’re already public record.

The only thing transparent here is Jeb’s desperate attempt to distract people from, without a doubt, the worst week so far for his will-he-or-won’t-he media tour.
