Things that make you go hmmm......
I found this an interesting read, wonder just what will come of all this..
You Say Deserter, I Say More Dessert
Anyone catch the White House Press Report about an hour ago?
Bush was paid for his service.
That was their standing, hence being paid = physically being there.
Funny how no one can recall, I mean it being 30 years ago and all, actually working side by side with him in the reserve.
Ever hear of Neal Bush?
yeah....that's what I thought....Bill Maher has a hilarious view on this too, I'm sure the transcript from Friday's show will be up soon enough.

Here's a snippet from the blog!
NEIL BUSH
An example of the Bush double standard. Every president has a scandalous brother, it just seems to be part of the deal – Billy Carter, Roger Clinton – and the Bush family is no exception.
If Billy or Roger had been caught in going through a messy divorce where you could read in the paper through depositions about their infidelities, herpes and Asian hookers, it would be endless material for late night comedians. Billy and Roger were household names and automatic punch lines – why not Neil Bush, who also cost the taxpayers a cool 1.3 billion when his savings and loan Silverado went bust in 1989?
Billy Carter pees on a runway; Roger Clinton kills and dismembers a drifter – big laughs. But the Bushes of Maine? They have integrity! This whole business with Neil is just a sad mess – let’s give them some space.
Oh, and Neil Bush also got a $2 million consulting contract with Grace Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation – which is backed by the son of Jiang Zemin, the, at the time, absolute ruler of Red China.
If Roger Clinton did this, they’d have re-impeached Clinton as a Chinese spy!
No, the Bushes aren’t spies, just sleazy corporate-whore types. Neil knew absolutely nothing about the semi-conducting business – and these jobs are always called “consulting.”
‘Hey, Neil, you’re making 2 million dollars here: give me your best consulting – what do you think President Bush would say about a deal between Grace Semi-Conductor Company and, say, the United States government – hypothetically of course! – just off the top of your head.
Neil Bush, consultant – the guy hiring him for qualifications is as believable as thinking two chicks show up at your door, fuck you and leave, just for fun (which is what Neil says happened to him in Asia.) Yeah, I can see the CEO: “Bush, Bush, Bush…where have a I heard that name before – he’s no relation to…nah, couldn’t be. Well, if he’s completely inexperienced with semi-conductors, that’s what we want, no experience is good. Just like in politics.”
Neil, it turns out, is an even worse businessman than his brother George. He not only started an oil company with other people’s money that never found any oil company with other people’s money that never found any methane gas.
After the Silverado debacle, one of the endless supply of rich Bush family friends gave him a job at his cable TV company. “Anyone who hires Neil Bush is going to get some heat,” the TV guy said, “But somebody had to do it.”
Four months after 9-11, Neil went to Jeddah for an economic conference where he told the Saudi audience that, while “in the U.S. for years we believed in Israel’s right to exist,” we might change our minds “with a sustained lobbying and PR effort.” Thanks, Neil, here’s the check. Oh, and if a girl comes to your room tonight – no tipping, please!
