Sorry, I did it again.

Here's something interesting,

=======================================================

"Dear Gov. Bush,

I know a picture is worth a thousand words, but if you have any comment you want to make about this AP photo -- and what you were thinking at the time, I'd be glad to share it with others.

Sincerely, [deleted]"

I wasn't weeping as the article said but I did shed a tear for Leslie Steele and others who have suffered for working with me.

I feel horrible for the midnight calls to African American team members who are called Uncle Toms or traitors to their race for working in my office.

I am tired of the threats and intimidation of people who I respect and who do great work on behalf of the state.

I am sick of the quiet ostracizing of co-workers for believing in equality of opportunity rather than the tired system of set asides and quotas and race based preferences.

Our way has generated a better result but they don't get any credit.

Jeb Bush
