The Bush Family Takes Care of its Own. Uncle Bucky and Li'l Neil |
While George W. Bush was on the road last week struggling to make the
public understand why he's not an incompetent assclown, it was
revealed that "an uncle of the commander in chief is collecting $2.7
million in cash and stock from the recent sale of a company that
profited from the war," according to the Los Angeles Times.

How nice.
The uncle in question is the lesser-spotted William Bush, who, like
most members of the Bush family, has a nickname:
he's known in the Bush family circle as "Uncle Bucky."
Presumably no relation to this guy...

Moving on, Uncle Bucky isn't the only member of the Bush clan enjoying
the fruits of the administration's labors:
last week the Houston Chronicle reported that "Former first lady
Barbara Bush donated an undisclosed amount of money to the
Bush-Clinton Katrina Fund with specific instructions that the money be
spent with an educational software company owned by her son Neil."

Why didn't she just cut out the middleman and send him the money
directly?
Probably because that's not tax-deductible.
