President Bush has named Justin Sayfie, a former spokesman for Gov. Jeb Bush - and orginator of the Florida political site, Sayfie Review, to the President's Commission on White House Fellowships.

According to the White House, the commission "which is composed of approximately thirty outstanding citizens who represent a broad range of backgrounds, interests, and professions, selects a class of White House Fellows."

The fellows, according to the White House, "work hand-in-hand with leaders at the highest levels of government. They enjoy informal, off-the-record meetings with leading representatives from the worlds of business, the arts, science and technology, media and politics. White House Fellows travel abroad to explore issues of global significance. They travel at home to see U.S. policy in action. And Fellows forge life-long friendships with the other remarkable men and women who share this unparalleled experience."

Former fellows include former Secretary of State Colin Powell and Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kansas.

This should justify one of those flashing red lights on the Sayfie Review:

The White House has named Justin Sayfie, the former Jeb Bush aide and mastermind behind the Sayfie Review, as a member of the President's Commission on White House Fellowships.

In that role, Sayfie will be a member of the board that chooses the fellows, who spend a year working in high-level White House and executive branch jobs. The White House says the program is "one of the nation's most prestigious programs for leadership and public service."

Jeb is sending his former staff to the White House and to Mitt's campaign. Jeb can't be far behind.

A forewarning.
