Why is Bush sending Jeb, not Neil to tour Thailand?
Neil knows it SO much more intimately.

1. LOL.

Oh yes he does...:eyes:

I love his excuse that he thought the hookers "were compliments of the hotel". I guess it would have been rude not to have sex with them.:crazy:

11. No, he is 'biking, relaxing, clearing brush and strolling"
according to the WH press office.

13. What! -- do you want a DRAFT?
Ha ha just kidding.

What I mean is, the POS who defiles the office of the presidency can't even go to frigging IRELAND without an ARMY to protect him -- against the IRISH! They're Catholic. They speak English. They have close ties to the US. And yet Bush had to have an ARMY (what was it -- 15,000 guards in all?) to visit.

He can't go to England -- our closest ally -- or even Canada -- without an ARMY to protect him. He will not address their democratic Parliaments because he is terrified that someone entitled to the right of free speech will REAM him as he so richly deserves.

If it takes 15,000 to protect him in IRELAND -- good grief, man! Our troops are over-extended as it is!! They would have to have a draft and call up countless tens of thousands if Beloved George decided to visit countries not as friendly to the US as Ireland, England and Canada.

its hard to fathom, but George W Bush is the most hated man on the planet. It boggles the mind, even when you understand exactly why people are united in hating him....

14. I wonder how many secret service officers will need to be detailed
to protect the Chimpster after his is finally out of office. he's got enemies all over the place. And, that's not including the rest of the world.

What is this strange new achronym-- What Will The Heritage Foundation Do?

Obviously, the SS (once known as the Secret Service, and previously, well, never mind...) will have a bit'o trouble finding new recruits.

As always, when Bush has found himself short of men to do the "Heroic Work" to Rebuild IraqTM -- he turns to young interns at the Heritage Foundation, or other nifty places like, says, interns at Rick Senatorum's office.

Anyone, who doesn't read the news each day, who wonders WHY things are going so badly at all levels in Iraq might wish to consider that young kids, as their first job out of college, are being given POSITIONS in Iraq, and recruited because they applied for positions at the Heritage Foundation, without other qualifications, apart from fierce unblinking deology (Praise George, I mean JEEEZus!). Imagine some kid, who speaks only English, who is rigidly American and Christian, who graduated from, say, Bob Jones University, and who has never travelled -- being handed a billion dollar budget in Iraq?

Sorry dears -- God's miracles go only so far. The parting of the Red Sea is a giggle compared to sorting out Mess'o Potamia.

Answer to my own question -- pretty obvious -- while it is nice if you speak the "strategic languages" and even know A LOT about the region -- better to be an ignorant Bush worshipper, if you want a job in foreign service these days. Of course, these things are always tained to some degree by politics, but certainly, NEVER to the extreme that I am the unfortunate witness to in my own lifetime.

4. Neil has had HIS fun already
The Bush boys want little brother Jeb to have some hot fun now too. Bet Neil's loaning him his little black book though -- or maybe Daddy's pals will arrange a discreet sex tourism package for him to relax and unwind after viewing all of that devastation.

I am still reeling that they are sending Jeb. It is so blatantly a move to create credentials for his presidential "run" in 2008. The whole world can see through this too.

17. Sure can, but the Repugs can put anybody they want in office
now that they control the central tabulators, numbers of provisional ballot rejections.

They'll need Jeb in office to make sure the Chimpster's crimes don't come to light. That is, the proof. It's obvious what they are doing. Chimpster protected Poppy when he got into office and put his records as governor in Poppy's office. Now they need Jeb to come in and keep the supression going.

Not to mention breaking the tie of family members to hold the office. Can you imagine that? 3 Bushes to hold office as president?

18. But is this protocol, seriously, how is it okay to send a governor
of a natural disaster ravaged state to the site of another natural disaster.

Of all the governors, Jeb should be the very LAST one to go to Asia.

20. Jeb knows all of the clever loopholes to getting aid during an emergency .
Since Jeb had to "personally" review all of Florida's government aid, his crack team of professionals can adequately teach (for a fee, I'm sure...maybe American-Indo votes?) disaster stricken countries how to divert funds for more important causes...like a fantastic trip, perhaps.

25. My apologies...
...I knew I had read Taiwan and Hong Kong, so I googled and found that most reports said Thailand although at least one mainstream source (cbs news) reported Taiwan as you can see from the links and excerpts below.

http://www.cnn.com/2003/ALLPOLITICS/11/25/bush.brother.reut/

The Bush divorce, completed in April after 23 years of marriage, was prompted in part by Bush's relationship with another woman. He admitted in the deposition that he previously had sex with several other women while on trips to Thailand and Hong Kong at least five years ago.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/01/26/politics/main596033.shtml

..."For his part, Bush defended the fees he has received for consulting jobs. But he gave little insight into whether the women who offered him sex in Hong Kong and Taiwan were perhaps paid by mysterious benefactors."

http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&node=&contentId=A35297-2003Dec27¬Found=true

When you're Neil Bush, you'll be sitting in a hotel room in Thailand or Hong Kong, minding your own business, when suddenly there's a knock at the door. You answer it and a comely woman strolls in and has sex with you.
