Jeb Gets a Job

Jeb Bush used to have a cushy post-Gov gig as a private equity adviser at Lehman Brothers. Well, apparently his private equity advice didn't do much in keeping the firm from collapse, and Ol' Jebby's only had his duty as president of Jeb Bush & Associates to keep him busy...

Jeb Bush used to have a cushy post-Gov gig as a private equity adviser at Lehman Brothers. Well, apparently his private equity advice didn't do much in keeping the firm from collapse, and Ol' Jebby's only had his duty as president of Jeb Bush & Associates to keep him busy ever sense. Unlike the countless former finance industry workers who will spend their holiday season sitting in pajamas desperately combing Monster.com want ads, Bush found a back up gig. He'll be joining the Board of Directors of Rayonier. That's the Jacksonville-based international forest products company, i.e. they tear down trees. Lets hope this company doesn't go down with Jeb on board, too.
