Help identify the mystery man!

[ColbertWatcher]

Below is an AP photo from McCain's trip through Mexico.

Some of the faces you may recognize, some you might not. Here are the names provided by AP via Yahoo News:

From left to right:

* Monsignor Diego Monroy Ponce
* unidentified man with back turned in background
* Arizona Senator John McCain
* an unidentified man
* CIndy McCain
* Joe Lieberman
* Jeb Bush

Can anyone identify the man between the Old Fart and his Trollop? (And I don't mean Cindy, I mean the man behind her wearing the pink tie)



(No prizes, just bragging rights)

1. Is it Neil Bush?

[Hugabear]

2. Dunno - the guy who has to change McCain's drawers?

n/t

[Hannah Bell]

3. i can't - but jeb? & lieberman? wtf are they there for?

are the bushes going to be running the whitehouse behind the scenes for mccain, too?

the nightmare never ends. bushes have been in power since reagan.

i hate that fathead jeb. is his fat head a birth defect? even as a kid he was a fathead.

5. Don't make fun of Jeb.. he's the SMART one.. Poppy even said so

[Hannah Bell]

6. it looks like he's hydrocephalic.

[ColbertWatcher]

9. No telling why any of those people are there. n/t

[HCE SuiGeneris]

4. B.J. Hunnicutt?

Just messing around... no idea yet.

7. Here's an enlarged and lightened image.

The guy with his back turned is Secret Service.

8. Jason Statham

He's gonna go all Chuck Norris on their asses any second now...

[annabanana]

10. The guy facing away is clearly security (ear thingie)

My guess would be he's some important Mexican Catholic businessman or politician.

[TexasObserver]

11. It does look like Neil Bush.

It's definitely not a Secret Service guy.

[ColbertWatcher]

12. Mr. Ignite! Learning!? I think the nose looks different, but...

...every thing looks about the same.

[TexasObserver]

13. Neil Bush has been associated with some massive business failures.

He's been getting fat off Bush family govt. deals since Junior stole the presidency.

He cost taxpayers a billion or two in the 1980s over Silverado Savings.

And his history in the oil field is similar. This guy couldn't find ice in Alaska.

[ColbertWatcher]

14. Ignite also got a sweetheart deal in NOLA after Katrina. n/t

[Frank Cannon]

15. I'm 90% sure that's Neil Bush in the picture

Don't know what he's doing down there with McCain and Jebbie in Mexico, but as you've indicated, it can't be good.

[TexasObserver]

16. Two Bushes present? Someone's getting screwed.

It might be McCain. Might be the USA. Might be the Catholic dude. Might be Mexico. But it's someone.

[TahitiNut]

19. Yup.

[TexasObserver]

23. his divorce was messy - trips to Thailand for young fun, STDs

[Buns_of_Fire]

17. Does McSame go ANYWHERE anymore without Kissyface Lieberman at his side?

Tweedledum and Tweedledumber, I swear. Those two are damned near joined at the hip these days (or joined elsewhere in a politically, anatomically, and hygienically inappropriate fashion).

[maynard]

18. Human cue card

He has to be there to correct McCain when he says stupid things.

[ColbertWatcher]

20. Any other guesses besides "Neil Bush"?

Or, are we certain that's who he is?

21. I believe it's a translator named Andy Cummins.

Here's where I get that from:

btw... "And I don't mean Cindy..." :rofl:

[ColbertWatcher]

22. Nice find!

Thank you, now WTF is Graham doing there?

[ColbertWatcher]

24. Now, I'm wondering if he's the same Andy Cummins as this one...

Andrew has traveled, worked and studied in Latin America over the past twenty years. He has lived in Chile, is fluent in Spanish and conversant in Portuguese. He has guest lectured on corporate strategy at the Universidad Católica in Santiago and on international investing at the Universidad de Chile. Andrew was selected as a National Finalist for the White House Fellowship program in 1994.

25. Yeah I think so. He's a venture capitalist.

a McCain Trailblazer, having raised over $100,000 for the campaign.

The wonderful world of Republican politics, where even the translators are actually working some big money angle.
