The Relatively Charmed Life of Neil Bush (loads of stuff here)
Despite Silverado and Voodoo, Fortune Still Smiles on the President's Brother

Ah, it's nice to be Neil Bush.

When you're Neil Bush, rich people from all over the world are eager to invest money in your businesses, even though your businesses have a history of crashing and burning in spectacular fashion.

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.

Life sure is fun when you're Neil Bush, son of one president, brother of another.

(snip – lengthy article on Neil's exploits, some of which we haven't heard before)

These days Bush divides his time between Texas -- home of his children and Ignite! -- and Paris, where Maria Andrews is living so her children can learn French.

"Neil is very much in love," says Rex John, a Houston PR man who is the godfather of Bush's daughter Lauren. "As his friend, I just really enjoy seeing him so happy because for so many years he was not happy."

"Neil and Maria are incredibly affectionate with each other and with friends," says Spalding's wife, Laura, who is Maria Andrews's attorney. "It's fun to watch them together because they're so in love."

Somehow, even after all his travails, it's still nice to be Neil Bush.

2. He's not a aberation in t he family, he's the damned norm but for some
reason we are allowed to hear about his indiscretions and not about W's and Jeb's. Charmed life, my ass--this is NOTHING like Billy Carter, or Roger Clinton--the whole damned Bush family is corrupt through and through.

3. What kind of kinky crap is going on?
A threesome with her attorney? ;-)


"Neil and Maria are incredibly affectionate with each other and with friends," says Spalding's wife, Laura, who is Maria Andrews's attorney. "It's fun to watch them together because they're so in love." :puke:

4. my first reaction to the title was
It took me a second to understand the thread title.

I was like, "relatively charmed?" "Extremely charmed." Then a second later I realized "relatively" was a pun.

5. "... an unprecedented hat trick of presidential embarrassment"
The term BFEE really fits these slimy bastards.

-snip-

But Neil Bush has surpassed them all. Bush has done something that no other American has ever accomplished: He has become the embarrassing relative of not one but two presidents.

In the late '80s and early '90s, Bush embarrassed his father, George H.W. Bush, with his shady dealings as a board member of the infamous Silverado Savings and Loan, whose collapse cost taxpayers $1 billion.

Now Bush has embarrassed his brother George W. Bush with a made-for-the-tabloids divorce that featured paternity rumors, a defamation suit and, believe it or not, allegations of voodoo.

And Bush's career as an embarrassment may not be over. At 48, he is still relatively young and, judging from his deposition, still virile and vigorous. If his brother Jeb, governor of Florida, is ever elected president, Neil could conceivably embarrass him, too, pulling off an unprecedented hat trick of presidential embarrassment.

Obviously, it's time for a mid-career retrospective on the life and work of Neil Bush.

The Whoreshington Post, competing with the Screw York Times to be the #1 BFEE Cheerleader!
