By the Book (and BlackBerry)




Jebportrait_1 Florida Gov. Jeb Bush handed the reins over to Charlie Crist at noon today.

But there's one piece of Bushiana we didn't want to leave unnoticed.

Jeb's official portrait contains a few noteworthy features in addition to his smiling mug. The painting, unveiled a couple weeks ago, also includes a photo of Bush's family, several books, including the Bible, and Bush's BlackBerry, a nod to his prodigious email use.
