bad news for Jeb Bush

Crazy Henry wrote him a letter today:

I am writing to request information about your role in the award of a $236 million federal contract to Carnival Cruise Lines in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. This boondoggle contract, which comes to an end this week, has cost federal taxpayers an enormous amount to provide temporary six-month housing aboard Carnival's ships. ~ Based on the occupancy of the ships at that time, I estimated that it would cost more than $214,000 to house a family of five for the full six months. Although occupancy levels rose slightly after I wrote to Secretary Chertoff, they fell again at the end of 2005. It now appears that the contracts will cost federal taxpayers almost $240,000 to provide temporary shelter for a family of five.[1] At this price, the federal government could have built permanent homes for the families. Emails recently provided to Congress by Michael Brown, the former FEMA Director, indicate that you intervened at a key moment to support the efforts of Carnival to win this lucrative federal contract. These emails reveal that you forwarded to Mr. Brown on August 31 an email from Ric Cooper about the Carnival proposal. Mr. Cooper is an advertising executive who represents Carnival. He is also a major political donor to the Florida and national Republican parties. According to the Florida Division of Elections, Mr. Cooper donated $65,000 to the Republican Party of Florida in advance of the 2002 gubernatorial election in which you were running for reelection.[2] In addition, Mr. Cooper contributed $50,000 to the Republican National Committee in advance of the 2004 presidential elections in which your brother was running for reelection.[3]
