Spotlight falls on Neil Bush's share dealing
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/01/03/wbush03.xml&sSheet=/news/2004/01/03/ixnewstop.html

Neil Bush, the scandal-struck younger brother of President George W Bush, is under the spotlight once more, after it emerged that he made more than £100,000 in a single day, buying and selling shares in an obscure company where he had been a consultant.

Mr Bush's day saw him buy and sell a tranche of shares in the tiny Kopin Corp of Massachusetts on the day it announced good news about an Asian client, sending its share price rocketing.

Mr Bush denied any wrongdoing, saying he had been following a recommendation from his financial adviser.

"Any increase in the price of the stock on that day was purely coincidental, meaning that I did not have any improper information," he said. "My timing on this transaction was very fortunate."

begging for sexual favors from Neil, aka Rambone Bush.

2. His timing was more fortunate than Martha Stewart's timing.
If your brother is the pResident, then the Attorney General probably isn't going to invesigate very hard.

5. Is this guy lucky, or what? He's gotten every wild card in the deck:
One-eyed Jacks, King-with-the-Axe, Fours-and-Whores. Neil has thicker Teflon than his mad-cowboy brother, the Wild Joker. Who is dealing this game anyway? Stacked deck? Marked cards?

Maybe there could be an issue of "Lucky Ducky" comics about him.
