PRINCES
OF THE OLIGARCHY
Brother Jeb is about to be challenged by Janet Sterno, health permitting, for Gov of the state of newlyweds and nearly-deads, perhaps with an eye on abolishing Florida's sunshine law. Could it be that the dynasty is coming apart?

Carter had his Billy-Beer and Clinton had Roger who, sitting at a coffee table loaded with cocaine, described his brother's nose as a Hoover hooter. Later taking his band of merry men on a goodwill tour of North Korea, no doubt at taxpayer expense, and finally invading the White House to help petition for pardons and pack up the lightbulbs. Errant siblings seem to be in vogue with the Oligarchy.

On the Bush scene we find the return of younger brother Neil of Colorado's Silverado S&L fame. The Director who cost taxpayers billions during the Eighties bailouts of Federally Insured Savings and Loans. Long kept out of the news, it seems Neil has a couple of new things going for him.

Neil is now the CEO of Ignite Corporation, an educational software company. Think his company is in line for some of brother George's new Education Bill funds?

The English Saudi Arabian newspaper Arab News reports that Neil Bush recently delivered a speech in Jeddah where he is quoted as saying: "The U.S. media campaign against the interests of Arabs and Muslims and the American public opinion on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict could be influenced through a sustained lobbying and PR effort." Bushes know these things.

Neil is also quoted by Hotline, The National Journal Group, as joking: "My father was the 41st president and my brother is 43rd. I think that if Pierce (his retarded son) finishes high school, he'll be the 50th president of the United States."

Looks like I'm going to be forced to move Neil up a notch on the John Gotti for President cabinet platform.
