A little about the BFEE revealed:

Business Deals of Bush Brother Detailed in Divorce
(2003-11-25)
By Jeff Franks

HOUSTON (Reuters) - Neil Bush, younger brother of President Bush, detailed lucrative business deals and admitted to engaging in sex romps with women in Asia in a deposition taken in March as part of his divorce from now ex-wife Sharon Bush.

According to legal documents disclosed on Tuesday, Sharon Bush's lawyers questioned Neil Bush closely about the deals, especially a contract with Grace Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp., a firm backed by Jiang Mianheng, the son of former Chinese President Jiang Zemin, that would pay him $2 million in stock over five years.

Marshall Davis Brown, lawyer for Sharon Bush, expressed bewilderment at why Grace would want Bush and at such a high price since he knew little about the semiconductor business.

"You have absolutely no educational background in semiconductors do you?" asked Brown in the March 4 deposition, which was seen by Reuters.

"That's correct," Bush, 48, responded.

Roger Clinton, who had some drug problems?? Yeah, I want to see Neil on FAUX every night, getting mocked.....

Interesting how we heard about Billy Carter and Roger Clinton and Clinton's "white trash" mother (in RW eyes) all the time....but nothing about Neil or Marvin.......

3. And we know if Chelsea had gone partying and drinking
underage we'd have heard about that non-stop. Wonder what the Bush twins are up to? We never hear about their underage drinking anymore. Of course, maybe they aren't underage, but still....

5. Sharon Bush's lawyer is on to something....
#1 - He's proved that Neil is a morally reprehensible and disgusting individual who had sex with women he didn't even know.

BUT... the IMPORTANT part of this scandal, in my opinion, is

#2 - The contention that foreign agents are using Neil as a "middleman" to buy influence with the White House. More from that article:

"And you have absolutely over the last 10, 15, 20 years not a lot of demonstrable business experience that would bring about a company investing $2 million in you?"

"I personally would object to the assumption that they're investing $2 million in me," said Bush, who went on to explain that he knew a lot about business and had been working in Asia for years.

"Part of my degree is in international economics, but I wouldn't consider myself an economist, no," Bush told him.


Who else has bought influence in this administration (besides the Saudis)?

6. Typical bushit from a bush:
Edited on Tue Nov-25-03 11:04 PM by MoonAndSun
"The women, he said, simply knocked on the door of his hotel room, entered and had sex with him. He said he did not know if they were prostitutes because they never asked for money and he did not pay them.

"Mr Bush, you have to admit it's a pretty remarkable thing for a man just to go to a hotel room door and open it and have a woman standing there and have sex with her," Brown said.

"It was very unusual," Bush said."

it is always someone else's fault, never theirs. Babs and Poppy have spawned the devil's sons.

7. Wouldn't surprise me...
if the women were all carrying Poppy's business card.


The Bush men are not only singularly unattractive - they're despicable.

9. Mr. Bush said he was co-chairman of Crest Investment Corportation,
a company based in Houston, Texas, that invests in energy and other ventures. For this he received $15,000 every three months for a working average of three or four hours a week.

The other co-chairman and pricipal of Crest is Jamal Daniel, a Syrian-Amercian who is an advisory board member of New Bridge Strategies, a company set up this year by a group of businessmen with close links to the Bush family or administrations. Its chairman is Joe Allbaugh. George W. Bush's campaign director in the 2000 presidental elections.

Other figures at the New Bridge include Ed Roger, its vice-chairman and a senior official in the Reagan and first Bush administrations, and Lanny Griffith, with whom he works in the lobby firm Barbour Griffith & Rogers. Lord Charles Powell, advisor to former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher, is listed as an advisory board member.

On its website, New Bridges describes itself as being created to "take advantage of business opportunities in the Middle East following the conclusion of the US-led war in Iraq.

There is evidence that the relationship between Mr. Bush and Mr. Daniel goes further. Joseph Peacock, Crest's company secretary, is one of the original investors in Ignite!, Neil Bush's educational software company based in Austin Texas. Other investors in Ignite!, which was founded last year, include George H.W. and Barbara Bush and Winston Wong, a Taiwan businessman who started the Grace Semiconductor Manufacturing Corp.

10. Thanksgiving Cover Page of L.A. Times
and a large spread inside the paper as well on N. Bush, his Chinese deal, his past with Siverado and more. Very unflattering.
