Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) plans to launch a website on Tuesday that will include emails from his two terms as governor as well as the chapter of his new book.

The website will include a trove of emails Bush had promised to publicize as an act of transparency. A number of media outlets have already reported on those emails. The website will also include the first chapter of Bush’s upcoming e-book of his time as governor.

Bush, who has been making moves toward running for president in 2016, announced the website during a conference call with supporters and campaign staffers on Monday, according to The Wall Street Journal.

As he moves toward running for president, Bush has been eager to call attention to his work on education and immigration while serving as governor. He’s been conspicuously quieter on healthcare, despite the fact that Obamacare is a favorite punching bag of Republican presidential candidates.

  1. Here we go again. Beltway MSM asshats, bored beyond tears from having to spend eight dreary years of thoughtful good government sniffing after fake scandals and enduring a president who turned out to be right over and over again despite their naysaying, begin the collective project of convincing the swing voting morons that a hard-right movement conservative under the sway of religious fanatics named “Bush” is a moderate Republican.

  2. A grateful nation waits with bait on its breath.

  3. I disagree with folks who believe Jeb Bush has a good shot to win the Presidency. Between 1992 and 2004 we have had Presidential elections with either a Bush or a Clinton as a choice. And if you count the primaries as well, that streak runs between 1992 and 2008, which is 16 YEARS. People are just tired of it.

  4. E-mails…first chapter of a book…How about his tax returns? He going to release those?

  5. There have been 12 years of bush in the presidencies, opposed to 8 with a Clinton, so I’m not counting her out. But it will be important for his opponents to use his dumber brother’s record against him because Bill’s record will certainly be used against Hillary. I think she understands she must align herself with this president.
