Tell me what y'all know about Jeb Bush
and his daughter Noelle. I keep hearing sideways references that show that things are known and they aren't good, but I don't know and I'm nosy. Enlighten, please?

1. I hate to kick my own post
but plenty of you are still up and I'm interested in knowing the dirt around Jeb and Noelle. Dish, folks.

3. Jeb made his pile using his family connections and name to
benefit from shady realestate deals. He's known to have had mistresses and like his brothers, has no principles or ethics. Panders to right wing Cubans.

When Noelle found herself having to appear in court neither of her parents attended -
its their version of tough love . Just another Bush weasel.

4. Our father Jeb will be blessin Terry today. I hope to be nearby. I'm
thinking that some of his light may hit me. The only thing better for Terry would be if mother Babs showed up. Now she has potty trained 4 boys and none of them have any problems with anal issues, rule-making, ethics, or sadism. They quite enjoy it all.

5. Here's her mug shot from when she was arrested


Family didn't do much to support her. Shame, my family would have bent over backwards to help get the support I needed to kick the addiction. But then again I got enough love from my parents that I didn't have to turn to drug abuse (which is completely different from those who enjoy recreational drug use with non-addictive drugs)

10. Talk about a persistent vegetative state...

Terri looks more awake than Noelle does...

6. Couple more specs of dirt.
One Court appearance she had to attend, Jebbie was busy helping do a $2,000,000.00 fund raiser for Georgie in Daytona Beach.

Normally her brouther came to stand with her for her Court appearances, but since Poppy, Babs and the whole crew was doing the fund raiser, they brought the Aunt (the sister who lives in Virginia) who of course is not named Bush to appear with her so the press would not pick up on the name.

We don't know where her mama was at the time. Perhaps trying to sneak some more bootie from a Paris shopping trip through customs.

8. shhh. It's a 'private issue'.
We shouldn't even be discussing this.

but since we are, here's a few snips from one really good opinion piece at the time by Arianna Huffington:

>While Noelle has been given every break in the book -- and then some -- her father has made it harder for others in her position to get the help they need by cutting the budgets of drug treatment and drug court programs in his state. He has also actively opposed a proposed ballot initiative that would send an estimated 10,000 non-violent drug offenders into treatment instead of jail. I guess what's good for the goose, gets the gander locked away.

Of course, Jeb's wildly inconsistent attitude on the issue -- treatment and privacy for his daughter, incarceration and public humiliation for everyone else -- is part and parcel of the galling hypocrisy that infects America's insane drug war on every level.
<
Or does that kind of overheated and stigmatizing rhetoric only apply to those other, non-Bush-family youthful drug users? After all, a glaring double standard has been a hallmark of our nation's drug policy for decades. It's why African Americans make up only 13 percent of the country's drug users but 55 percent of those convicted of drug possession and 74 percent of those sent to jail on possession charges. And why the youthful indiscretions of the rich are routinely treated with a slap on the wrist and a ticket to rehab while poor kids are shipped off to prison.

If America's drug laws were applied consistently, Jeb Bush and his family would be evicted from their publicly-funded digs, just as people living in public housing can be thrown out of their homes if any household member or guest is found using drugs -- even if the drug use happened someplace other than in the housing project. And Noelle could find herself joining the tens of thousands of young people unable to get a college education because of a provision in the Higher Education Act that denies financial aid to students convicted of possessing illegal drugs.

7. Oh, let's talk about CYNTHIA HENDERSON first.... that's a FAR more
relevent and far reaching topic.

Now... after she brushed her knees off, what lobbyist gig did she end up with?

9. hereinreality.com
is a wealth of information about the Bush Crime Family.

It's normal in a family for there to be a child or two that has a run-in with the law. For George W Bush and his brother Jeb, the rate is 100%. From sexual misconduct to prescription forgery, here's Bush Kids Gone Wild.

11. Thanks
I got all the dirt I could ever want. I know plenty about the Bush twins (being as I am from Austin) but not so much about Jebby's progeny. It looks like we have another overentitled Bush family going in Florida. What a surprise!
