Neil's exploits titillate world
By RICK CASEY
Copyright 2003 Houston Chronicle
HARPER'S Magazine, CNN and AP asked for a copy of the $2 million contract between Shanghai computer chip manufacturer Grace Semiconductor and presidential brother Neil Bush.
Playboy asked for a copy of the deposition in which Bush admitted that during a business trip to Asia some years ago, he had sex in Hong Kong and Thailand with women who showed up nights at his hotel room door.
From Leno to London, Canada to Australia, the story of Neil's exploits tickled media fancies.
Jay Leno's punchline: "And today, Clinton said, 'What was the name of that hotel?' "
The London Times noted that Neil's "embarrassment was well covered in the British press."
"Brother Is as Daft as a Bush," headlined a column in the Mirror.
"Hotel Sex Claims of Bush Bro," proclaimed The Sun.
The Telegraph ran at least four stories, including one that flattered me with imitation.
Noting that Neil had told his ex-wife's lawyer in a deposition that he didn't know if the women who came to his hotel rooms for sex were prostitutes, I concluded that he held open "the possibility that they saw him in the hotel bar and were so attracted to him that they bribed the bartender for his room number."
The Telegraph's Mark Steyn dressed that up nicely to read: "Maybe these foxy babes had just spotted him in the piano lounge, taken a fancy, and given the bartender 10 bucks for his room number."
The Times, a more elegant publication, did not wallow in such seediness. Instead, it accused the American media of falling down on the job.
"In America, however, (the story) barely merited a mention," it said.
The Washington Post buried a brief item. The New York Times ran a Reuters news service story but stripped it of all references to sex.
The London Times did mention the New York Daily News story, "Bush Brother's Shocking Sex and Biz Life," but described it as being "buried" on page 23. The New York Post played it page 2 with what the Times called a "flattering headline."
They're right. Someone should frame it for Neil's upcoming 49th birthday: "Brother Bush a Babe Magnet."
The London Times may have missed the in-depth treatment given by a front-page Los Angeles Times story, and the Boston Herald front-page headline: "Sex and sweet deals: Bush bro's Asian romp."
But the Times contends grandiosely that America is a "land of rampant individualism, (with) a strong sense that no one should be blamed for the sins of others, particularly for the stupidity of close relatives." Also, says the Times, we have a "widespread feeling that nothing should be published that might damage the dignity of the President's office.
"There has always been a hankering among Americans for something like a royalty," Times writer Nicholas Wapshott concludes. The royal families -- Britain's and those that have lived in the White House -- can only wish coverage of royal sex lives were off limits.
Even National Public Radio took a shot. In his annual "Turkey Awards," Talk of the Nation host Neal Conan nominated Neil Bush. His guest, a Chicago television critic, noted that on Sunday night's 60 Minutes, former NFL linebacker Lawrence Taylor said he used to send prostitutes to the hotel rooms of opposing running backs the night before games.
Some of you more prurient readers are still wondering about that reference to Playboy magazine. In an e-mail, an associate editor offered me a copy of the upcoming 50th anniversary edition in exchange for the deposition transcript's portions on the hotel sex.
"My policy is not to accept bribes," I responded, "unless they are outrageous. I'm afraid in this instance it would require a Playmate at my hotel room door."
His reply: "Which playmate?"
We're still negotiating.
Bush and Cheney are old fatcat types just reap the financial benefits of the conflict (Halliburton).
all I know for sure is that all of the Bush supporters in this thread who also seem to have ties to the military, suck at spelling. It furthers my belief that the military service takes advantage of the econonmically and educationally changed.

1. I didn't use the term "dregs" you did.
2. There are some bright guys in the military and they go in as officers.

Do not judge my enlisted brothers and sisters as foolish. For we have found a greater reward then you will understand. Each one of us do our duty to our god and country, even if it means that people like you will be allowed to continue to bash us while we take bullets for you.

now I hate to hijack my own thread but serious I have a hard time understanding this. Why don't you like Bush? What has he failed to do. He has revived the economy, reformed medicare, the War in Iraq was a resounding, although ongoing, success. Yes he has failed so far to prove that there were WMD in Iraq but look at the list of things he has done with this war. People always bitch about the WMD thing but I haven't heard ANYONE outside myself claim that the war was a success because we liberated millions of people from a terrible dictator. Since when did we as a people become so selfish that this becomes a sencond tier justification?
Seriously mang where's the beef? You don't really still want that pussy Gore in there do you?

Do you really expect anyone to believe that you or anyone else enlisted in the military because you felt that you had some duty? First off, the notion that you felt compelled to do time in the military is explicit proof of your being brainwashed. Tell me, beyond WWII what war (though technically i dont believe congress has approved any of the wars the US has been in since, but i may be wrong) has been waged to protect America? VietNam... nope. The korean war... nope. Gulf War I... nope. Gulf war II... nope. You could cite the "war on terra" but if the current administration had simply followed the the advice of the clinton administration, or the other nations that gave very near exact accounts of what was to come none of it would have happened. Of course there is still the idea floating around that 9-11 was allowed to happen but this isnt really the right thread for that is it? Either way all of you people who feel you should be immune to criticism because you are fighting in coprerate oil war need to simply realise that in complying with your commands and killing people that have in no way wronged the US, you are going to take flak. My other point is if so many of you are joining up because of this compulsion you have, why dont you guys all prove it and not accept any sort of monetary repayment, as "serving your counrty" is apperantly reward enough?
