When George Bush the elder and Bill Clinton reunited to raise money for hurricane relief through the Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund, Barbara Bush must of really been moved by the gesture. Babs donated a unknown sum of money to the charity, and surely gained a tax break for doing so. However, there was a catch.
Donors have the opportunity when giving to have their gift earmarked, which Babs did. She chose to earmark her donation to be spent on educational software made by Ignite Learning, the company owned by her son, Neil Bush.
Now, there is nothing illegal, or really unethical about this I suppose, but it does seem like sort of a shitty thing to do, don't you agree?
