Fair enough....except it appears that whatever character flaw drove 
Prescott to deal with "the enemy" has been passed on......George 
Sr.'s sins don't begin or end with his CIA efforts, but continue 
through Iran/Contra/Crack (the CIA has now fessed up to "not 
paying enough attention" - we'll wait another decade for its 
confession that it was more than a case of indifference); its 
contribution to the S&L mess of the 80's......Poppy's brother also 
has the bug, having engaged in various business ventures with the 
Yakuza....

I don't care at all about Snort's OUI matter..... I care a lot more 
about the abuse of process that characterized his land grab in the 
Texas Stadium matter, as well as the fact that those who bailed him 
out of his oil field failures (and they were pretty much uninterrupted 
from the start) would often find plum appointments in his father's 
administration.....

Jeb took $75,000 to facilitate a $200 mill dollar fraud, he also 
benefitted from some curious dealings regarding a defaulted loan
(the default was forgiven, the building turned over to him and his 
partner for 10% of the original value, and the tax payer picked up 
the $4 mill dollar balance)......Neil, in spite of flagrant abuse of his 
fiduciary duties, walked away from a fiasco at Silverado, caused in 
large part by his generosity to his cronies.......

the criminal behavior, if not congenital, can at least be categorized 
as systemic.....

hey, it is politics after all. But I would caution you not to dismiss the 
smoke......and I must confess to not having paid much attention to 
the list goings on, so I can't address the intentions of other posters.
In my efforts to shine light on the criminal conspiracy known as the 
Bush clan, I always provide documentation, and take care to 
eliminate from consideration anything which I cannot corroborate 
with another source.....


But, as I said before,
> I think they're both bozos.

And I wouldn't argue.... I favored McCain, myself.....It is just that the 
Bush family has taken the Kennedy ethos and "turned it up to 11"....

take care,

love,
cfa
