If you have time, and feel like going down an interesting rabbithole, there's this thread from the Rigorous Intuition board:
p216.ezboard.com/frigorousintuitionfrm10.showMessage?topicID=2151.topic
Mary Kay Letournau is Jeb Bush's sister-in-law, through her brother John Schmitz's marriage to Lucila Garnica Gallo, Colomba Bush's sister. Mary Kay's father was an ultra-rightwing one-term U.S. Congressman from Orange County, CA, and left politics for a short period of time after it was discovered he had fathered 2 other children by his mistress, a German woman. One of the children from that affair had been found with a hair wrapped so tightly around his thingy, it almost severed the organ, and police suspected abuse. However, the child was later returned to her custody. While the children were in their early teens, Schmitz died from cancer, and their mother shortly thereafter from complications from diabetes. They were taken in by, of all people, Jeanne Dixon, but became wards of the state after her death. Gloria Allred has a cameo role in this as well, as she was a friend of the Schmitz family.
What's even more interesting is that Mary Kay's brothers, John and Joseph, have very tight connections with the Bush family. John Schmitz served as counsel to G.H.W. Bush while he was VP, and later president, and helped cover G.H.W.'s involvement in Iran-Contra. Joseph served as Pentagon inspector general until earlier this year, when he resigned after being accused by Grassley of covering up possible illegal deals in the rebuilding of Iraq's telecommunications infrastructure. Joseph now works for the Prince Group, which is the parent company of Blackwater International. The thread provides much more detail on all of this though.
