Jeb Bush announces that he may announce he's running for president

Jeb Bush

One of the silliest things politicians due is announce that they are going to later announce a run for higher office. It's a cheesy PR trick---it allows the pol two create two media buzzes.

Today former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush revealed his plans that we will later reveal his plans about running for president in 2016. Sheesh, Jeb. Just say it.

In Timothy Egan's Worst Hard Time, a Dust Bowl sheriff made his media splash when a reporter asked him if he would stand for reelection. "Just tell 'em I'm running again."
