An anguished dad, desperate to stop speculation about the paternity of his toddler son, today sued a former member of the president's family for defamation.

"This has been a nightmare," said Robert Andrews, the ex-husband of the woman now dating presidential son and brother Neil Bush. "The allegations have been so nasty and so false I feel I must answer. My patience is used up."

The lawsuit, filed in state district court on behalf of 2-year-old, Thomas Alexander Andrews, said Sharon Bush has suggested to reporters, friends, even fast food restaurant employees that Neil Bush, not Andrews, is the child's biological father.

The Bushes had been married 23 years when they signed a mediated divorce agreement in April. Andrews and his ex-wife, Maria, had been married 14 years when they divorced in October. Neil and Maria met several years ago, when she was working as a volunteer for former first lady Barbara Bush.

2. sounds as if all of the wronged parties

are the ones in the dirt over this while Neil and his sweetie stay hidden behind the curtain. It's especially sad for the poor little boy.

3. Nevermind that shit, Sharon!

We don't want to hear about Neil's illegitimate kids. We want all the dirt on the illegitimate government!

4. If this gets into court

wouldn't he have to show proof of paternity?

9. Why all the fuss..

this is easy. If the child isn't sprouting horns, doesn't have an eye in the middle of it's forehead, and doesn't have a tail...how can it be a Bush?

5. Republican family values are so... ... colorful.

Don't try this at home with your family.

6. How does Robert Andrews think he can sue Sharon Bush

for defamation if he doesn't prove he's the child's father? He says he doesn't want to "dignify" the rumor by taking a paternity test. How much dignity does he think he'll get in court?

7. Perhaps this might make her open up a bit on that Silverado scam

he ex was involved in......or does 'mediated divorce settlement' mean Republican party gagging order?

8. Sounds like a job for Jerry Springer.

Who needs state district court. Just have the parties involved agree to appear on Jerry Springer. He's been doing 'who's my daddy?' shows for years. I guarantee he'll get to the bottom of this.
