Well, at least it wasn't a live boy or a dead girl.

[theDentist]

Almost sounds like Roger or one of the other Clinton siblings. How many is that now, anyway?

[PersonalLiberties]

I know this might not be a popular comment but,, Look at Bush I and II wives, are they not the picture perfect conservatives? But then look at the offspring? Look at Jeb and his offspring? There are secrets brewing under those nice looking facades.

[Tijeras_Slim]

I wouldn't pi$$ off Barbara Bush, and she's not even my mom.

[lilylangtree]

Hope the DNA of Andrews kid turns out to be an unknown 3rd party. Would laugh heartily at that one.

[MizSterious]

Has he started his own line of beer yet? (that dates me, I know!)

[sauropod]

"In the meantime, he has been ordered to pay $1,500 a month in child support for two of his children, Pierce, 17 and Ashley, 14. The couple's oldest child, Lauren, is 19."

And the Child Support Shakedown continues...

Neil has always been the black sheep of the family, starting back in the Savings and Loan scandal. Most folks just ignore him altogether.

[gitmo]

This is worse than Juanita Broderick's rape?

[Blood of Tyrants]

Every family has it's rebels and black sheep.

[pgkdan]

As far as I'm concerned, this guy is a complete scum bag who I wouldn't trust with the baby sitter or my checkbook. But that's him...not the President, Jeb or his parents.

[Lucky Dog]

Bush's tax returns, obtained by the AP, showed $357,000 in income from Ignite and at least $798,218 from three transactions involving the stock of Kopin Corp., a small U.S. high-tech company where he had previously been a consultant.

Is Neil Bush running for elected office? If not, how did the AP get his tax returns?

While Neil Bush’s dealings may deserve some legal attention and even prosecution if the facts warrant, last I checked, the tax returns of private citizens (regardless of whose relatives they were) were not releasable to the press.

There’s something rotten in this story beyond Neil Bush’s business deals.

"It's a pretty remarkable thing for a man just to go to a hotel room door and open it and have a woman standing there and have sex with her," said the attorney, Marshall Davis Brown.

Can't say that I disagree with this statement. Maybe Neil has forgotten one or two key details of this (these) event(s).

[zerosix]

Occasionally, a black sheep family has a white sheep as well, though maybe not as often.

"This is worse than Juanita Broderick's rape?"


It will be to liberal democrats!

[Mr. Bird]

Currying favor with a relative of the president can "start to smell bad," said Steven Weiss, communications director for the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonpartisan group that tracks money in politics.

That's why I'm so glad the press keeps asking why Chelsea Clinton is being paid six figures to be a "consultant" for a New York firm while trotting the globe with her boyfriend./sarcasm

I'm sorry, but "connected" people are always going to have an edge. Who cares? As long as no laws are being broken, I'm not about to start ripping people for being rich. Also, there is nothing novel about getting rich in an industry that you know relatively little about. It's quite common.

Every family has it's rebels and black sheep.

That's right, mine does too.

[LouD]

"Now, you have absolutely no educational background in semiconductors, do you Mr. Bush?"

This is just a red herring. As a consultant, I have absolutely no educational background in the technologies used by the companies I consult with. Why should I? That's not why they hire me.

[Doctor Stochastic]

"It's a pretty remarkable thing for a man just to go to a hotel room door and open it and have a woman standing there and have sex with her,"

It is?

[Born Conservative]

The titillating details have made barely a splash in Texas, where loyalty to the president runs deep.

Just wait until the Dixie Chicks find this one out...
