Columba Bush, Jeb's wife is finally enjoying some spotlight. And it seems it's rather blinding since it includes so much jewelery. While his diminutive Mexican wife insists she was mortified when detained and fined by custom agents in 1999 for misrepresenting her $19,000 in purchases while in Paris, she didn't stop there. It seems she couldn't stay away from Mayor's, Miami's premiere jewelry store, and over a 14-year period spent more than $90,000 at the store. A Miami Herald article reported that Columba "...would trade 20 society galas for one juicy Spanish soap opera savored in the comfort of her South Dade County home." which I guess suggests she didn't buy all those jewels and her Rolex for state affairs, but to admire on the coffee table while she watched Timeless Love. Over the years Jeb has tried to control Columba's spending with very little luck. He did get a break when the local Mayor's closed. Of course the Bushes have every right to indulge their every whim. After all thy can afford it thanks to all their past oil connections, insider trading and lucrative sweetheart deals. But the American citizens shouldn't think for a minute that Jeb Bush is any kind of down-to-earth regular guy, or that he can run a country when he can't even control his own wife.

Governor's wife. Mayor's addict.

How interesting that Bush World has preemptively insisted that Columba would rather sit home in her sweat pants watching soaps. Because surely her sprees at Mayor's were inspired after she realized she couldn't mix with the wives of crooks like Armando Codina at Miami galas without also dripping in jewels. Just our humble opinion.
