Republican payback

Did Florida Governor Jeb Bush improperly line up a $236 million government contract for Carnival Cruise Lines after Hurricane Katrina? That's what Congressman Henry Waxman (D-Ca.) is accusing.

Waxman released a series of e-mails today that were among many provided to Congress from former FEMA director Michael Brown. Along with correspondence from Brown, those e-mails include Bush's communications with Carnival advertising executive Ric Davis, who also happens to be a major political donor to the Republican party.
