Watch Jimmy Fallon, Jeb Bush slow jam the news

Jeb Bush.

Jeb "Jeb!" Bush showed he can handle a double entendre or two when he stopped by The Tonight Show to help Jimmy Fallon slow jam the news. As Fallon sang, low and slow, about the former governor finally announcing his bid for the presidency (by saying he was no longer a "caucus tease"), Bush gave a pitch as to why he should get the nomination (while leading Florida, he cut taxes, created millions of jobs, etc.). In the bit's highlight, Bush shared that he believes "everyone should have the chance to achieve the American dream," and translated his message to Spanish, causing Fallon to exclaim, "Whoa, hold the telefono. I know you just got back from Miami, but I didn't think I was interviewing Gov. Pitbull." Watch the clip below. Catherine Garcia
