Jeb Bush is the newest boardmember of Lehman Brothers financial group. The news comes as a short brief from the St. Pete Times, but it helps confirm what I've thought about Jeb for a long time -- that he's really not as interested in politics anymore as he is in cold, hard cash.

It was obvious some months ago, after he pointed all his fundraising pals in the direction of Mitt Romney's campaign, that Brother Jeb had no designs on the 2008 presidential campaign. And the more board positions he gets, the more fat paychecks he collects for allowing corporations to use his name, the more likely he is to sit out 2012 as well.

My thoughts: Sweet Jesus, won't somebody else hire this guy?
