The Buzz: Florida politics
An interview with an upbeat governor

Gov. Jeb Bush predicts withdrawal pains when he steps down from "the most amazing job in the world." He's sick of FEMA bashing. He's annoyed with his father's national security adviser criticizing his brother's foreign policy. He's worried that citizens and some Republican leaders don't adequately appreciate his education reforms.

And in a wide-ranging TV interview, Bush also clearly left the door open to be tapped as someone's vice president.

The governor, upbeat but weary from hurricane duty, sat down with the Times and Bay News 9 for today's debut of Political Connections. (It airs at 11 a.m. every Sunday and can be seen any time on Monday on Channel 340.) The Buzz from Bush:
