My buddy Greg Hurley ( my ever so conspiratorial email friend)sent me this short family history of the Bush family hustle.
Sounds like a new kind of dance though in doesn't appear to be so new.
There are many families who have, what a good friend of mine calls, "circumstantial integrity". So I can't fault them for following tradition. We all have our own demons to face, some peoples are just larger than others. But who am I to judge, mine feel pretty humongous sometimes.
While opportunism isn’t new in U.S. politics, never did so many in one family extract so many dollars from taxpayers as when George Bush senior was president a decade ago. As documented below from impeccable cited sources, the exploits of six Bushes, including George W., range from stock sales that were probed or sanctioned to arranging U.S. business investments for a Japanese Mob front. They range from lobbying for a Mafia-linked businessman that enabled massive Medicare fraud to misconduct that helped trigger S&L collapses costing taxpayers $1.2 billion.
