Jeb Blasted On The Street
By Brian E. Crowley | Wednesday, May 9, 2007, 12:07 PM

Brett Arends, a columnist for TheStreet.com has some harsh things to say about former Gov. Jeb Bush’s new job. Here’s some excerpts. For the full column, and it’s a doozy, go to TheStreet.com

Jeb Bush, the president’s brother and former governor of Florida, is up for election Thursday as a director of troubled hospital chain Tenet Healthcare (THC:NYSE). Assuming he’s waved through, his pay in his first year would come to nearly $37,000 a day.

This is the same Tenet that had to pay $900 million to Uncle Sam last summer to settle charges that it had overbilled Medicare and Medicaid over many years.

The U.S. attorneys announcing the settlement accused the company of “fraud” and trying to “manipulate and cheat the system.”

Anyone reading the public filings would have discovered that in your first year, you’ll earn $474,500 — for 13 days’ work

Simply unbelievable, isn't it? I'm sure he's not worth any part of it, also. So sick of these guys. They've got the country in their jaws and won't let go.
