A senior member of the Bush dynasty is about to get a large sum of money from a company with a history of ethical violations. Stop me if you've heard this one before. 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 - Cramer's Take - Stockpickr - Rating). 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. Nine hundred million dollars.
