Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush is coming under scrutiny from social conservatives for investing taxpayer money in a company with ties to pornography.

The former Florida governor invested $1.3 million from the state’s pension fund into Movie Gallery, a film rental company that offers X-rated films in addition to comedies and action movies, according to a report in the International Business Times.

Jeb Bush Administration Invested Florida Pension Money In Porn Purveyor

Conservatives in Florida were aghast: State documents said that Gov. Jeb Bush and other overseers of Florida's pension system had shifted retirees' money into a company called Movie Gallery, one of the largest film rental firms in America. Most of the titles were standard comedy and action fare, but a fraction were X-rated titles.

I just found it and am reading through it. I don't know much about this yet. It just looked interesting and I thought some here would find it fun to read.

It's interesting to note however, that it is almost ALWAYS that these guys play around with Pension money. It's kinda disgusting.

1. So, after reading on this a bit more, this seems to be driving a wedge between

Bush and religious "conservatives".

I wonder if this thing has legs.

6. Probably.

Legs and... oh, never mind.

2. ya know, strictly from a financial perspective, there are worse investments...

morally? maybe not. strategically? suboptimal, given the voters he needs to win over.

still, i bet it was a winner for the pensioners.

4. You're probably right.

Still, kinda odd. I mean, granted he is the head of the board, and probably did not know much about the investment.

I just find it odd that it is not one of the things they looked at more closely.

[KamaAina]

3. No. It's 'pr0n' with the number 0.

Easy to remember: Jebbie himself is a zero.

5. Ok... I'll update.

[okaawhatever]

7. I wonder if there is a connection between Movie Gallery and a big GOP donor, or someone

who has or will help the Bush family.
