Jeb Bush to arrive in Israel for private visit
Source: Jerusalem Post

Two weeks before US President George W. Bush is scheduled to arrive on his first visit to Israel as President, his younger brother Jeb Bush is scheduled to arrive Monday for a private visit.

Bush, the former governor of Florida, will be accompanied by his wife and children, and will travel around the country, including visits to Massada, Nazareth and a tour of the northern border with Deputy Chief of General Staff. Maj.-Gen. Dan Harel

Bush is scheduled to meet Monday with Knesset Speaker Dalia Itzik and a number of Knesset members.

Interesting timing... the Jeb Bush/Lehman/Florida SBA investment debacle is heating up mightily, back home.

25. beat me to it
That was my first reaction: he's campaigning for 2012. The Bush brand is tainted now, but he's hoping voters are dumb enough to forget about big brother by the time the next election comes around.

24. It'll benefit the BFEE. But when it's exposed, Jeb will claim he's just 'a victim of circumstance.'
Just like a broken record.
