He speaks Spanish and he “sings” sexy ballads about his plans to take over the White House.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) is determined to make a name for himself and step out of the shadows of his brother and father — even if that means making playful appearances on late-night TV.
Bush appeared Tuesday on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” to announce his presidential candidacy in a sexily-crooned “slow jam” which included several sexual innuendos.
During his appearance, Bush, who formally announced he was seeking the Republican nomination for President on Monday, was asked to participate in Fallon’s “slow jam the news” bit.
“Yesterday in Miami I formally announced my candidacy for President of the United States,” Bush said. “I thought long and hard about this decision and after careful consideration I determined that now was the right time to launch my campaign for the Republican nomination.”
“Oh yeah,” Fallon crooned. “The governor thought long and hard about joining the GOP race, after months of being a total caucus tease, Jeb finally made up his mind and quit beating around the bush.”
“Jeb really wants in the White House but not as bad as Obama wants out,” The Roots’ Black Thought sang.
“He’s got lots of experience down south,” Fallon sang. “He came from Texas where everything is bigger. He turned Florida from a limp peninsula into a virile member of the U.S. economy.”
Bush also spoke to the audience in Spanish saying: “We’re a nation of immigrants and I believe the whole world should have the chance to achieve the American Dream.”
Bush’s appearance followed a similar cameo from President Obama who appeared on Fallon’s “Late Night” show in 2012.

Christ, that must have killed the Roots.
When a contender with real class and visions like Donald Trump enters the race, a loser like Jeb! will exit early !
Wow, weak guests with weaker…
He’ll always be “Jed! Clampett” to me. Nice to see he owns a suit and tie however.
Best line in this slo-jam…“He’s a master-debater”…But let’s face it, the guy has zero charisma…and his only claim to fame in this race is his lousy pedigree. He’s a fucking Bush! Case closed.
