This is an interesting story:
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 today, 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.
The link comes via Atrios, who wonders aloud what kind of a media storm this would have precipitated had it been about Roger Clinton and not Neil Bush.

I just read the article, and have one question – what am I doing wrong? I have never had women show up to my hotel room and walk in and have sex with me.

What is wrong with sex romps in Asia. I have had a few and they really are good fun.

That may be true, Phil, but did these women just “show up” at your door and you didn’t pay anything?
It’s a laughably bad lie.

Both Clintons, Carter and now Bush. Perhaps its time to amend the constitution to provide that no one with siblings can serve as President.

I believe it completely that these women just turned up at his door and had sex with him, and he didn’t pay them a cent. Someone else paid them and sent them up to see him. Just think of it as being similar to sending up a bottle of complimentary wine.

you left out the part where he got paid $15,000 every quarter for ‘little or no work’, about 3-4 hours a week, by this Crest group. Lets see that’s 3.5*4*3=42 hours….$15,000/42=$357 per hour…..That is completely outrageous! I wonder what Sharon paid these clowns????

Why should there be a “media storm’???
We ALL know that GW is the font of all evil and this is just another indicator as to his families depravity,,
Not to worry, we will soon have a democrat in the White house and all will be well….no more scandal, no more unnecssary wars, no more cronyism etc etc, ad nausem

Theory:
1) W. Bush & company bankrupt america with tax cuts and wars in Iraq
2) Neil Bush gets into bed with Chinese companies
3) China buys billions of US treasuries
4) US defaults on payments in 2018 and China as the largest holder of treasuries gets US assets in exchange (oil, lumber, water, etc.)
5) Neil Bush and other Bushes cash in while the US becomes a Chinese protectorate
