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.

...after reading the article it became clearer to me as to why Shrub wants to defend Taiwan soo much.

1. The phrase "Do as we say, not as we do" takes on so much meaning. eom

[Loonman]

2. All druggies, alkies and sex fiends, ehh?

Sounds about right.

3. Unusual Bush brother sex practices?

The wonderful, loveable Bush family -- from financing the Nazis in their buildup to WW II, to the Krypt of the occult Skull & Bones lodge, to the drinking, the drugging, the election stealing, the AWOL track record, the illegal sexing, and the sleazy financial deals.

Some further wee units of truth are now being flushed up from the BFEE cesspool via the ongoing trial detailed below. I expect even more will come gushing up over the next year. But will the mass media give the American people an opportunity to see the truth? Only the shadow knows...

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

HOUSTON (Reuters) - ...

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.

Bush said he was co-chairman of Crest Investment Corporation, but worked only an average of three to four hours a week. For that, he received $15,000 every three months.
Bush said he provided Crest "miscellaneous consulting services."

"Such as?" asked Brown.
"Such as answering phone calls when Jamail Daniel, the other co-chairman, called and asked for advice," Bush said.
"Well, you're not an economist are you?"
"Part of my degree is in international economics, but I wouldn't consider myself an economist, no," Bush told him.

The women, he said, simply knocked on the door of his hotel room, entered and engaged in 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.

4. So?

What's wrong with a little sex romp?

[SpiralHawk]

6. What's wrong? I suggest you ask Mr. Bush's wife

But then maybe you are following the Moral Lead of the Bush family, and cannot understand the basic idea of marital fidelity, or even honesty.

[wakfs]

7. It's called humor

And having been on the receiving end of marital infidelity myself in the recent past, I think I have a right to be humorous about it.

Lighten up, Frances.

[SpiralHawk]

8. Sorry, Frances

So many freeper posts on DU these days that it's easy for a guy to mistake humor for moral blindness. Hey, it's happened to me. Mea culpa.

5. Flashback: Silverado Bank and Neil Bush

There are endless artilces on how Neil and family ripped off the taxpayers for billions of tax dollars in the late 1980s. But -- the collective memory of the media seems to have failed. How peculiar.

just google Silverado and Neil Bush + order a pizza. There's a lot of reading to do. Here's one snipped from the Austin Chronicle:

O, Brother! Where Art Thou?
BY LOUIS DUBOSE

March 16, 2001:



Unless you've been reading the Houston Chronicle society page, it's unlikely you've seen any current news about Neil Bush. The third Bush sibling has been almost as invisible as his apolitical brother Marvin, a venture capitalist living in northern Virginia, and his sister Dorothy "Doro" Koch, the youngest of the five Bush siblings, who quietly raises funds for charities in a Maryland suburb near Washington.

While Jeb was governor of Florida and George W. was twice elected governor of Texas, Neil was either part of the late Maxine Mesinger's "crème de la crème crowd" at a Houston social event, or a stale S&L footnote: "the director of Silverado Banking, Savings and Loan when it crashed in 1988 at a cost of $1 billion to taxpayers."

In 1990, Bush paid a $50,000 fine and was banned from banking activities for his role in taking down Silverado, which actually cost taxpayers $1.3 billion. A Resolution Trust Corporation Suit against Bush and other officers of Silverado was settled in 1991 for $26.5 million. And the fine wasn't exactly paid by Neil Bush. A Republican fundraiser set up a fund to help defer costs Neil incurred in his S&L dealings....

9. Their sister Doro isn't as quiet as they make her out to be

According to Bar, Doro was in the crowd outside Al Gore's house during the 2000 election recount shouting for him to "get out of Dick Cheney's house." Bar said it made Doro feel better.

11. Repukes are all "forgiven" and "born again"

so they can do anything they want and go to heaven, and still be held in high esteem by their fellow morons.

Dems, on the other hand, are a buncha godless freaks and any detour from the straight and narrow will lead to immediate condemnation and a trip straight to hell.

Got it?
